iMac with Touchscreen?

An Italian blog claims that the a Google adwords advertisement lists "New iMac with touchscreen" pointing to Apple's website. The ad copy also describes 24"-28" iMac screen sizes.

None of our readers have seen the ad, and the authenticity of the image is in doubt.

Look what I've just found... (may be fake of course)



Disclaimer: I just found the picture on an italian website - Can't tell if it's the real thing

How does adsense work do they just pick up on trends through crawling software and then generate adds.

Interesting idea about the 28" though, never thought of that size for an iMac always jumped to 30"

Huh. Where did you get it? I know it's hard to hit the same ad in AdSense rotation, but link us up anyway.

Search Google for "new imac with touchscreen". Only two results... it's unlikely that AdSense would have put together that particular string through crawling.

Adsense doesn't generate ads automatically. Advertisers write the ads and submit them to the network. If you have an Adwords account, you can create an ad that says just about anything.

Why is an Italian site displaying an ad in English? And why are the fonts so different between the iMac and and the ads below it? Hmmm... what could the answer be?

Looks fake to me.

Unless I'm going blind, isn't the tone of green and the font size a tick off from the ad below it?

Also, I wonder why it would be an iMac ad but instead of going to /imac/ it points to /mac/ instead?

Granted that's the main Mac page, but you would think it would produce more further interest than having to click through to the actual iMac page. Maybe not, I don't keep track of Apples links on adsense, but logically a single click to the most relevant advertised information would make more sense to me.

I just don't see a touch screen as practical to be sold with every computer. It would drive the price on a computer way up and very few people could afford it. I can see Apple making a new product to offer touch screen, but no updating their existing line to fulfill this.

You can put out an English ad for global distribution, which could be a possible explanation for the font difference. Whether or not to accept adsense ads in another language, if I remember correctly, is an option for the adsense user.

Granted, I haven't had to get into either my adwords or adsense accounts lately, but I'm pretty sure on at least the first part and being able to have an ad in English that's globally "published".
