"Update: Looks like MacRumors got duped by its own forum members -- these are fan-made mockups. Oh well, at least we can dream."
Exactly why Engadget shouldn't be trusting some site called "MacRumors". Obviously, my wild guess is that it's a fan site about Macs and other Apple products. Surprise, surprise.
Seriously, Engadget, I don't expect you to be the top professionals in tech, but why post up a story like this? Obviously we should note the fact that:
1. This is from MacRumors - not the most reliable site, and obviously very Apple-fan filled. 2. The photos themselves - Blue background, wasn't that OS X Tiger? 3. Apple rarely leaks anything - Apple has some thing where they like to keep users on their toes, and give them a surprise every now and then. I doubt they changed their minds for this.
So a useless article, showing useless fan-made artwork, and a probably embarrassed (or should be) reporter. I'm betting if mock-ups of other popular products came through on other fan sites, they wouldn't get a mention on Engadget.
