Okay, this one’s totally out of the blue, but we’ll post it to see what you think – and because it looks kind of cool and mysterious.
Early this morning MacDailyNews received a blurry photo and a brief bit of text from an anonymous source.
The text that was included with the photo:
I was only able to snap one quick shot of this as I was only in there for about 30 seconds. I sort of stumbled upon it – can’t say more about how or why. I only got about half a sec to look around back – there are a bunch of ports (and maybe a button or two) neatly arranged on the back (?) of the cube in a line along the bottom edge. It’s about 8-inches square and 8-inches tall – a perfect cube. It seems to be made out of a similar material as a Power Mac – aluminum perforated with a round hole pattern, but they’re smaller holes than found on a Power Mac. The top is the same material as the sides with the addition of the Apple logo, even though it doesn’t look like it in the photo – I had to snap it quick, sorry.
I don’t have any real detail on exactly what it’s designed to do, but I know from other things I can’t mention that it’s media-related. Apple “Media Cube,” maybe? Anyway, thought you guys would be interested.
That’s all we know. Obviously, this could be a fake, but on the off chance that it’s not, we’ll post it for Photoshop experts to pick apart (example). Unfortunately, this is the best quality image we have of this mystery cube.
What do you think? Is Steve Jobs going to try the “cube thang” again? Is this what’s coming next at next Tuesday’s special media event (see related article)? Or it is just a fake?
