New Mac Mini Caught on Video [Unconfirmed]

The Mac mini on video here looks like the new one we saw yesterday with five USB and dual display ports—the one declared fake earlier. This looks pretty convincing. Is it real? [9to5Mac]

Video: Is This the New Mac Mini?
Wired: Gadget Lab —
Earlier today some bloggers, including myself, concluded a blurry photo purporting to be the Mac Mini must be a fake. But almost immediately a video emerged showing off the fabled device, spinning it back and forth to reveal its five USB ports in an effort to convince you.
I'm still skeptical, but being a video editor myself, I know that'd be a pretty difficult editing trick. What are your thoughts?

The original poster has now offered up a video of the purported next-generation Mac mini. The video is labeled "Mac Mini 2009 Edition". We have little other information as to its legitimacy and the story sounds sketchy , but present the video for interest and followup to yesterday's story.
New Mac mini caught on video?
Boy Genius Report —
This morning we showed you an image of what might just be the Mac mini refresh after it was leaked around the interwebs last night. Skeptics across the web immediately dismissed it as a laughable Photoshop job and went to great lengths to prove their point. We were skeptical as well of course, but we still couldn’t dismiss it entirely. Sure it was a little blurry and the Firewire port and five USB ports might have been hard to swallow, but it’s now looking like the image could indeed be authentic. A new video originating on 9 to 5 Mac shows the unit in all of its glory and well… It looks very real. This is not ...
Video of claimed next-gen Mac Mini surfaces online
AppleInsider —
By Aidan Malley Published: 06:15 PM EST After being challenged over a still image, the source for what seems a leaked future Mac mini has now posted a video that shows the device from all sides. While its authenticity has been disputed, the mystery system has gained what appears to be supporting proof of its existence from MacRumors forum poster "monthy," who on Friday posted a brief video tour of the Mac mini shown in the photo. The clip shows a case which is fundamentally identical to the current compact desktop, including its wrap-around aluminum skin, white plastic top, and slot-load optical drive, but continues to show the ...
Leaked Video: ‘Mac Mini 2009 Edition’
MacBlogz - One Stop Apple News —
Following up yesterday’s leaked 2009 Mac mini image, the original source has now provided what looks like a fairly convincing video of the rumored unit.
The image below was the first spyshot to circulate the web, which was originally posted to the Macrumors Forums. Interestingly, some raw investigation work done by a 9to5mac reader, who confidently determined that this was all a hoax.
Now the original source of the image has made this video available, and although the entire situation seems a bit ...
New Mac mini: Don’t believe the picture? Here’s the video
VentureBeat —
A photo surfaced yesterday claiming to be the backside of the new Mac mini. It matched much of the earlier rumored specs about the updated device, but plenty were skeptical of the pictures. Some even broke the image down using terms like “dispersion of artifacts,” showing why they thought it was fake. But the source of the picture is now apparently striking back, with a video of the machine shown it in all its 5 USB port glory.
Certainly, this thing can still be a fake, and the story about the video posted in the MacRumors forum is odd at best (he met a guy in a subway?), but this video at least seems ...

Look, we'll level with you: we don't know exactly what we're looking at. After seeing that Mac mini pic yesterday, we were about 140 percent sure it was a classic Photoshop disaster. Now we don't know what to think. One thing is for sure -- this isn't done with Photoshop. The above video was offered up by the original poster ...
New Mac Mini: This time it's video
Boing Boing Gadgets —
Now this is more convincing! A physical thing, on reasonably high-quality video, rotated and fiddled with. And yet it doesn't quite banish my skepticism completely--there's a little of the absurd about it.
The story given by the poster is obviously bullshit, but that doesn't mean it's not real. It's not as if he's going to be dumb enough to just come out and say something like "Yeah, I'm a pro photographer who takes pictures for Apple's print ads" or what-have-you.
The idea that Apple's legendary secrecy's been cracked is quite delicious. Commenter TJS's psuedocode algorithm for ...

It?s all happening with the Mac Mini. First an image appeared on the web, then declared as a fake and now the original leaker, infuriated by the fake tag has got something more to claim his truthfulness ? the video. The USB ports, Display ports are for real.
Hit the play button quickly because Apple will use its clout to pull the video down.

Gadget Rumor: Next Gen Mac Mini On Film…Or Is It? (video)
GadgetReview —
Who the hell knows what is going on. A few days ago we showed you a pic of what was rumored to be the ‘new’ next gen Mac Mini. Shortly after, Photoshop afficianados said the pics were fake after reviewing the hidden artifacts embedded in the pictures. Now, the same tipster - who says he was a ‘previous’ Apple employee and isn’t bound by an NDA - has leaked a video showing off the computer and all its tell tale ‘next gen’ Mac Mini qualities. I think someone just took a Mac Mini and modded it with the extra ports. Afterall, how would a exApple employee be able to shoot video or get one of ...
Rumor: New Mac mini video?
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) —
Filed under: Rumors, Mac mini In the last couple of days some images of what purported to be the next Mac mini have popped up on the Mac web, and then were also apparently shot down. The new machine was claimed to have a FireWire 800 port, mini DisplayPort, and five USB ports among the visible features, with a 2GHz Core 2 Duo and 2GB of DDR3 RAM on the inside. Now, adding fuel to the fire, a Macrumors forum participant posted the above video that looks mighty convincing. Of course it could be an elaborate hoax, but if it is a fake I think it's impressive that they've gone to this much ...
Videos: A Spy Video of the New Mac Mini
The UberReview —
Previously we showed a picture of the back end of the new Mac Mini and it sparked a few questions. As you can see from this video, the optical drive is located in the front of the machine (where one would naturally assume it to be). Seeing a video kind of dispels any notion that the spyshot was a clever piece of Photoshop trickery. The new Mac Mini looks to be the real deal. [Mac Rumors via BBG

Mac Mini 2009 Edition - video powered by Metacafe The new Mac Mini photo we’ve shown you a few days ago is said to be counterfeited but despite all of that the video here shows a Mac Mini very similar to what we’ve seen in that picture. The Mini case is identical to the current desktop. It has the same aluminum skin, white plastic top and slot-load optical drive. It has 5 USB ports, a Mini DisplayPort, a mini DVI port and a FireWire 800. As for inside features, the new Mini is expected to sport a 2GHz Core 2 Duo with a 1066MHz system bus, 2GB of DDR3 memory and a SATA SuperDrive. Of course we have no official prices and no ...
Video of the New Mac mini?
HardMac.com —
Lat week photos of the claimed new Mac mini were released on the web. Some websites were considering the device as a fake; based on some subjective analysis (indeed the photo quality was not good enough for concluding anything from Photoshop filter analysis). Probably to demonstrate that it was not be a fake, a video featuring the same device has now been released. If one can still generate a fake with a video, it is much more difficult than with a photo: ...

The video shows not only the connectivity - five USB 2.0 ports, Mini DisplayPort, ethernet and FireWire, together with Mini DVI and audio in/out - but the optical drive and a new design style for the mini. Its legitimacy is already being argued, with that ...

Updated Mac desktops arrive March 24, as does a "pleasant surprise"
TG Daily - All News —
Chicago (IL) - Steve Jobs may not be around the office each day, but it's still business as usual at Apple. The newest rumor has Apple hosting a special media event on March 24 to bring Mac desktops into full view. And , if we may add, it's about the time! Both iMac and Mac Pro are 14 months old now, while Mac mini hasn't seen any hardware update in nearly 20 months. If you believe the rumor-mill, minor but long overdue updates to the Mac mini and iMac are just three weeks away, along with a major Mac Pro refresh that brings Intel's Nehalem CPU and ATI Radeon GPUs to the table. There's also a "pleasant surprise" that we think may mean a new version of Apple ...
