Tutorial on .Mac Reveals Advance Product Information |
|
 A tutorial on mac.com reveals more than Apple probably intended. There are three new tutorials on the .MAc website - iCal, iSync and iChat - the most interesting of which is iChat.
Just in case you don't have a .Mac account (as you must be logged in to see the page), we took some screenshots. Plus we imagine the page won't be around long once Apple finds out about it.
The page walks a user through setting up iChat, adding Buddies and all that rigamarole, as seen below.
However, Steve Jobs' account was (accidentally?) used for this example and we actually get a shot of his own Address Book:
The most intriguing thing however, is the next screenshot of an actual iChat between Steve Jobs and a mysterious butterfly:
It's not altogether clear what they're talking about, but we at 2 Guys think that the "projector" may be referring to a next-generation 3-D holographic display. We're not sure what butterfly means when telling Steve-o that the computer should be "connected" and "functioning properly". Perhaps they're talking about OS X on Intel hardware, as that type of hardware can be very problematic and you have to constantly be making sure that it's functioning properly.
The last statement of a timeframe is also puzzling. Does it mean Steve should spend 15 minutes talking about it during his next keynote? Does it imply something about Steve's stamina? If so it's like 10 times longer than I can last. I MEAN....NO....I - this is not Jonahan, this is Bill Gates, I hacked in here and posted this! ASDJLWRL#$%)#$%()# Windoze Roolz!!!

The butterfly is evidently Katie Graham. I think she is the lead designer on the 3-D holographic display.

iChatter, how did you find out this information? You obviously have contacts at Apple or maybe work there. Can you provide us with any other information? If it jeapordizes you, you can always contact us confidentially. Oh and by the way, this is really me. I fixed the security hole that let Bill in here. That bastard. Pretty nice article he wrote though!

Geez, make a mountain out of a mole hill! This could be and probably is talking about setting up a presentation projector and connecting it to the computer w/ the presentation file. 15 minutes seems like an average time to accomplish this task. You guys are reaching!

Whew!!! Thanks for blowing the lid off the conspiracy, I was tired of being the only voice. Now people will start to believe that Steve's Reality Distortion Field is actually a holographic time bubble, that has been projecting future technology back to our century (and I hear our future selves are pissed). The reference to the projector and whether it is set up correctly is amazing, normally they can set it up in 5 minutes or so, but this must be for an especially large crowd of people. Interstingly, I have seen this type of chatter before, when I worked as a contractor in an undisclosed location in Cupertino, CA - called 'Area 84'.

The word for "butterfly" in Esperanto is "marklar". Just a coincidence?

Evidence, spread thin, attracts Apple rumours like flies to butter.
Oh God W.T.F. am I doing here...??

For some reason I doubt apple would let anything of that magnitude be leaked in a tutorial.
Think logically.
