- briangig, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16whats even better. Someone posted this on engadget 3 days ago:
First of all, the Chinese characters on the piece of cardboard do not look like they were written by Chinese at all. Handwritten Chinese and on-screen Chinese is somewhat different, and this is obviously an attempt to copy the on-screen version of Chinese characters straight off a computer screen. What's more, the letters are malformed, and look like they were written very painstakingly, sort of like those of a young child who is trying to copy the teacher's alphabet from the blackboard to his notebook.
Number 2, the characters "zhe" and "bian" separately mean "this" and "side". But together, "zhe bian" actually means "here", which does not make any sense here. "This side up", however, would look very logical on a label of this sort, however, "zhebian" does not usually mean that. So I went over to babelfish and tried to have it translate: "This side up". Quite predictably, it returned "zhe bian", which adds to my belief that this was created by someone who wants to give the impression that this photo was taken from a Chinese factory.
Busted. - sych0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8please, that video is clearly fake.
- maslui, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Alternate format: http://www.macshrine.com/2006/02/26/ipod-video-how-we-all-got-fooled/
- dtrinh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I think that they made a fake video of the photoshop creation of that picture - just to make it look fake ;)
:P
In any case, I like that soundtrack.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
ANYONE know what that soundtrack was? - mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5why does everyone hate quicktime.. i dont get it..
windows media player is what i HATE. - iammatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If you stop on the last few frames and read the text, you can see
ps. That's damm good video compression, I mean high res good qulaty and over a minuit long for under 4meg - englishman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I love all the comments from people bragging about their own Photoshop expertise. Even funnier than the video.
- ct2000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3classic internet moment !
- psobot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The music is a good song they made in Garageband, if anybody cares.
- rustyrobot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This video is made by a totally DIFFERENT person than the guy who acctually photoshoped it (or, maybe the ipod is legit). There are 3 things ive noticed.
1. in the video, there is no #7 writen on the white label
2. when the guy writes out the chinese charecters and tapes the plug, they are vey different to what is on the picture
3. when he draws the black blob, it is VERY different than what is acctually on the photo. - welvis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That dude won teh internetz!
- stark23x, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2What's great about this is going back to engadget, gizmodo etc. and reading all those who vociferously defended the pic as real. They got *mean* on anyone who doubted it.
HA! - HappyScrappy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thanks for the movie-format file (.mov here) instead of Flash. Death before flash. dugg.
- thashiz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2[[The new ipod PHOTO? Its ipod VIDEO.]]
Of course, but being that it is a video showing the making of a "photo"graphic image, the title is perfectly accurate. Dugg. - Oakes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm never going to believe anything anyone ever tells me. Ever again.
Thanks alot. - s0ny, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1and by the way, this guys photoshop skillz arent "awesome", this is like...the basics that even my grandma could do in 10 minutes. sheeesh.
- Rage321, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1lol this was great. 15 minutes of internet fame via a quick 10 minute photoshop session! Bravo
- JC4P, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That made me hurt on the inside :(.
+digg - cr3ative, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Funkyguy: I've mirrored it, if you still need it
http://www.b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk/data/fake.mov - thirteen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Goes to show you some of us are damned good at Photoshop....and the photoshop he did wasn't even that good. lol
I learned a long time ago to just wait until Apple shows it before I'll believe it. The video did crack me up....damned funny stuff. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1he is amazing at photoshop
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"I think that they made a fake video of the photoshop creation of that picture - just to make it look fake ;)"
Yeah, thats what I was thinking....
Next they will come out with a video showing hoe they faked this video....
I'm disapointed that I wont get a full screen ipod... - dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Funny video, and a few cool idea like using semi-transparent eraser brush for the barcode logo
- Ben - Zionyx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Meh, I'm gonna have to call ***** on this video. Just too many differences between the vid and the pic.
- feshmania, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That is probably the most ballsy, self-serving, pompus, arrogant move they could have made.
And I loved every moment of it - mynameiswerd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Thanks for the movie-format file (.mov here) instead of Flash. Death before flash. dugg."
x2
Dugg - inkswamp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Now, wouldn't it be twisted if the photo actually was legit, and someone just put together this video to make it look like someone putting the photo together in order to convince everyone that the real photo was a fake?
- apexified, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Just digg it and stop acting like you knew it was a fake before you saw this, bleh.
Everyone was skeptical, that doesn't make you a genius ;P - Mexrocker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0thats was great... hahaha
- inkswamp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0> Awesome, the guy had most of us fooled.
If you're ever uncertain about a Mac-related rumor, especially a convincing image like this, go to the forums at AppleInsider or MacRumors. (They just debunked a fake of a new Apple cube coming out.) If there is any sign that it's a fake, the people there will tear it apart in about 10 seconds flat. This image was a little tougher to crack, but there was a general air of skepticism on MacRumors due to the questionable nature of the serial number visible on the image which apparently came from an XServe. The people on those forums will catch subtle things like that. - jhuebel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow, I was tricked by this too.
- ahdustin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Duh, this one looked like crap. The color test thing definitely looked photoshopped.
- MAG1CO, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"> Awesome, the guy had most of us fooled."
- FunkyGuy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0we need mirrors terribly bad.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0LAUGHING MY ***** ASS OFF
hahahahahahahahaha - psobot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have a feeling that this video wasn't by the original creator of the original picture, but someone showing how easy it would be to have made the original. The 7 is missing, and the labels on the dock connector aren't exactly the same.
- NiLeS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"i could make a more realistic one in 10 minutes top."
I probably could too, but it's not just how well you can 'chop. This guy had the *idea*. Just like I wish i had the idea for kleenex, instant oatmeal, windows, one-click shopping..... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can't even view it. Say something about the wrong compressor...
- SirBriggs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Doesn't mean it's a bad idea.
- ehmjay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hahaha! i guess that will teach us to be much more skeptic of those photo "leaks".
- echoRelay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://www.toxicitynet.com/fileserver/spoof.png .. what about this?
- lico05, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow! That was a pretty good tutorial.
- shiftless, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Hilarious
dohko xar -- Quicktime Alternative you idiot - Amplix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dang. I was kinda hoping this was real. But a pretty good fake methinks.
- knightblade2oo4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0far from incredible but interesting nonetheless.
- greater_eagle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Did anyone notice the missing symbol from the original to the one made in the video?
http://static.flickr.com/43/104954078_bba27e0970.jpg?v=0 - tom6a, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So is the video fake too?
http://www.macshrine.com/2006/02/26/total-confusion-is-the-video-fake/
and here's a link to the original photo that this story is about:
http://static.flickr.com/26/103357149_ebe5a6a8c7.jpg - TurtleBird, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0 I knew it was a fake, but deep in my heart I wanted it to be real. This man has crushed my hopes and dreams.
- jasbon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Do not believe anything until it's officially released.
- iBookG4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0They forgot the 7 in the video on the label.
