Feb 20 2009Bowtie Camera: Spy Pic Of The New Mac Mini

Is this the rear of the new Mac Mini? Is it just part of an elaborate Photoshop hoax? What's a Mac Mini anyway? Are those real hardwood floors? Did I eat breakfast this morning? Is blogging with the heat exhaust from my laptop blowing on my junk giving me wang cancer?
Answer key: Probably. Probably. Little McDonald's burger. Wood is good, but plastic is fantastic. Sam Adams and Miller Lite. Does a Yeti have two snowballs?
Revealed, the Back End of the Next Mac Mini [uberrreview]
Also, Happy Birthday Cam, the beer's on me! No seriously, I missed my mouth.

This is not fake!!! A sane person can tell it's not fake because, the shadows are all right!! I think....
This reminds me of the scene in Never Back Down where anally retentive Mike went bat-shit crazy in a computer lab full of Macs. He later joined the dark side.

I think its photoshoped. IF you look that on button thing is just like the on button for the wii. also if the comp was that small, how much space would the hard drive (which would prolly be flash memory) hold? Needless to say, it wouldnt even be powerful enought to run WoW. it might mabey do word processing and internet browsing if your lucky.

OMG I almost pissed myself laughing at that comment.

We need Daisy to weigh in on this...

they should just jam the power prongs on the backside of it and make it like a super ac adapter

It may be Photoshopped but the Mac-Mini has been around for quit sometime and it plays WOW fine fine. Much more than a word processor as I use it for Video and Photo Editing much faster than any crappy old PC.

Yeah, its not fake. Its on the apple website, runs a core 2 duo @ 2 GHz and up to 2.0 gb of memory. thats like my macbook but in a highly chuckable, prone to overheating cube shape. Meh...

I found a great site ____M illionaire Loving. CO M____ It 's where you have the opportunity dreaming about dating a millionaire and make it true! I thought everyone needed to meet some miracle after all the terrible stuff in the news and the economy :)

But why would it have firewire anymore?
22. che-che - February 20, 2009 3:22 PM
was this photo taken in the 70's then sent to the future (now). them floors look a bit dated....why dont they build the casing out of hardwood flooring. that way apple can lie about how cool it is. and all the apple drones well think its cool cause they said so and all you fools will be hanging out at strabucks surfing facebook with the stupidest thing ever designed. Damn it if i could run apple for a day....

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max and BAja were in London, and he was driving around a roundabout, and said look there's big ben, and there's parlimant about a hundered times as they continually circled.

I have no issue communicating without the use of profanity. Quite frankly, the english language offers much more colorful adjectives. The point being made is simply that in this country, where this blog is hosted, we have freedom of speech. The same freedom of speech that would protect this blogger (GW) in court. I find it rather disingenuous of him to post NSFW content and genitalia jokes, then censor our comments about them.

28. Watch - February 21, 2009 2:57 PM
well if this person had a bowtie camera, why didnt they take shots of the side of this "so called computer"? why just take shots of the top? that makes me think its not the new minimac. If I had been there, I'd be taking photos up and down of the whole thing, then leaking them to the net. Epic Fail for whoever shot this photo.
