It appears somebody else on the Apple web team is going to get fired:



The G5 page shows the G4 spec image at the top!

The same problem all over again, except backwards this time!

It was meant as a joke (the getting fired part) because Apple fired the person who posted the wrong image there before (the G5 specs on the G4 page). However, that was more major as it was a leak. However, this is still a mistake.

Who said he was fired ? I wouldn't fire someone for that.

if they fired the last guy maybe there's nobody running the show now, which would explain any new mistakes...

I can see the scene at the 'web department' after the Keynote:

Guy1: Ok, time to put the store back up...

Guy2: What? Who says so?

Guy1: Really it is Ok to put th G5 specs up.

Guy2: No way man, I'm not falling for that...

Guy1: Really it is OK, now put them up!

Guy2: I told you I don't want to get ripped apart like our buddy last week...

Guy1: Really IT IS OK...

Guy2: I'm not putting them up until you get Steve on the phone...

Guy1: You know we can't do that...

Guy2: I'm puttng up the 'old' specs until I get personal confirmation... you're not getting me fired

It's a pretty big screwup to have on your store.

But I betcha if someone accidentally posted "G6" on the site, there would be 1000's of G6 rumors flying around!

I'm a bird. I am the 1% (of pets).

I guess when the image was leaked, it was burned by Steve and now the web guys didn't have the newer image to put back into place.

I guess this is why they are looking to fill those positions.

I'm constantly amazed at the amount of people on these forums who need jokes explained to them. I mean, aren't we mac people supposed to be better than everyone else?
