This one is for all you online tea leaf readers and Apple SKU / crystal ball aficionados: Further confirming our suspicion that something more affordable may be on the horizon, Google AdSense this weekend started serving users in the Netherlands with ads for new iMacs, MacBooks, and Mac minis. Pointing to a dead link at the country's Apple Store, the ads read (via Google Translate): "Apple's Newest MacBook. Thinner, lighter and faster! Free delivery. Order today," "The Brand new iMac. Ultra Thin 20 & 24 inch models. From only €1099 (roughly $1,603). Apple Store," and "Apple's New Mac mini. Faster and more affordable than ever. From only € 499 ($723). Order immediately." (For a little perspective, that's €100 ($145) less than the cheapest Mac mini currently on the Netherlands online store.) Granted, whenever peeping purported translations from foreign tipsters we're always half-afraid that we're actually reading Celine Dion lyrics or dialogue from Caddyshack, but this one seems to be the real deal -- for whatever that's worth.
Update: Apple's "New Mighty Mouse" advertised as well.

1Tb 2.5" Drives are coming out pretty soon, from... Toshiba.
(But they are thicker than standard and Air uses 1.8"s right?)
8Gb is hardly in the realm of imagination.
i7 would burn a hole through a Macbook Air.
/misplaced seriousness in response to obvious sarcasm
I'm not gonna get all hot and bothered about this. My tolerance for Apple hype was exhausted with the release of the iPods several weeks ago.
Why did the Google Voice app got rejected anyway? That confused me...
Still over priced
I don't think anybody needs tea leaves or crystal ball to predict "Apple will update some of its computers soon." Don't they do that pretty regularly?
it's happened before, or something similar. Remember when an ad inside an iPod touch app was a link to the video part of the itunes store and it was really incomplete and nothing could be downloaded.. Google adsense, you done good. :D
Price drops, high chance of switching to i7 processor, thinner design...
Damn, Apple is getting ahead of themselves...
So with today's iMac, MacBook and Mac Mini product refreshes, AdSense turned out to be NonSense.
