@pebbert – i actually did try those things, still never got a reflection anywhere even remotely close to the one in the photo. if you can get closer, shoot me the pic and i’ll include it!

@DLG – yeah, my sidebar does cover parts of the image. of course, it’s not exactly the *relevant* parts, but I’m still learning how to use the mices that came with my colecovision computer. once i figure that out, hopefully i can cropped the picturing and you’ll be able to see the datas more clearly.

Since your sidebar covers the pictures on almost all these shots, I can’t really see what you are talking about. Thats on all browsers. Good luck with your new internet. When you figure out how to use it, let us know.

Two problems with your test:
1) The Photo has a very dark wallpaper. Try making your wallpaper black and you will see a reflection. You bright screen is masking the reflection.

2) Your screen is tilted too far back, make it vertical or tilted slightly forward.

[...] do we know they’re fake? As LIVEdigitally rightly points out, there shouldn’t be a reflection on the MacBook screen in the first shot. [...]

The first thing I noticed when I saw that FAKE photo was how sharp the corners of the Tablet were. Apple would never release a product with such sharp corners. It would be a hazard. It’s a fake photo.

@Richard – great point

@Bocephus – good use of the word dumbass, you are truly a scholar. also extra credit for first use of the word “journalism” on my blog.

I don’t think the photos are real either, but this dumbass little linkbait experiment you did does nothing to debunk anything. And if this is your idea of legitimate journalism, it’s not surprising that you don’t get invited to events like Apple pressers.
