If you look at the screen shot on this page, it looks like the only 
thing referring to a G5 machine is the text on the left. The machine 
image is a mirrored drive door; I find it unlikely that Apple would 
come out with a machine as loaded as this G5 purports to be, but use 
the same enclosure as before; secondly, the only machines available 
for order are current MDD models. Why would Apple advertise a G5 on 
the store, if it weren't available for ordering with the various 
configs?

The 64 cent question is, did an Apple employee/web person do this by 
accident or was this actually someone hacking Apple's website with 
this potential bogus G5-related text?

Or was this an inspired (sjobs at apple.com) planned leak (with lots of 
stories in the mainstream press regarding Apple legal having the 
image pulled, etc.) designed to generate tons of chatter in 
preparation for Monday?

Your thoughts?
