Well, today I was flipping through the channels and on a kids station I saw they were giving away some Apple gear. They flashed it quickly and I swore the MP looked darker. So I went over to the contest website and indeed it does look darker. They don't give any specifics (specs), it simply says you win a gift card. Curiously, the contest ends June 18th, shortly after WWDC.

So who knows if this means anything significant, but it is a curious observation.

That looks like a 12" PB. Notice the 1st-gen iPod nano and how the Mac Pro (PowerMac?) case is dark.

Yeah the rest looks dated, but I didn't know they ever had a dark PowerMac/MP?

That's not a "dark" case - it's just poor lighting.

Only one optical drive... looks like a very poor photo of a PowerMac G5.

Don't feel stupid .... most of us can't wait for the new MP, in fact, I saw a lady walking her dog the other day, when it morphed into a new form factor MP at the end of the leash — with legs. I ran up and asked feverishly if this was in fact the long awaited Holy Grail. She said, "No, it's just my beagle 'Leopard'," at which point I went down on my knees begging her not to taunt me. Then I woke up.

Anybody else, any other sightings? Elvis seen using his Garage Band app on his delicious new 16-core 1Thz Mac Pro?
