The copy in the article is wrong. It’s still implausible, however, because Apps is capitalized. It’s not a proper noun.

I’m not sure if Apple uploads the pages before annoucements and then hyperlinks then after they have been announced, but history has shown that the pages are uploaded after the annoucement.

http://www.apple.com/macpro/ takes you to the mac pro’s homepage but
http://www.apple.com/macfusion/ and
http://www.apple.com/fusion/ both give you a 404. Only time will tell but that machine could also be used for a AppleTV replacement.

It looks like a photoshopped TimeCapsule to be honest, the LED is bigger than that of a MacMini.

I don’t think so.

The other thing that lends credibility to this rumor is the big fat “who cares” factor. This is far from exciting out here in consumer rumor land but makes incredible sense for cross platform iPhone developers.

Count my vote for this being a VMWare preloaded machine, if it’s even real.

Screenshot would require saving and emailing which I would assume is not allowed and easily traceable.
