Have we just seen the Apple Tablet? NOPE! [Fake]

Why hello there beautiful. Is this…could it be…the Apple Tablet we’ve all been lusting and wishing over the last several weeks? It sure does look pretty legit, almost too legit. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it is too legit and in fact a fake — a good fake at that.

Don’t believe me? I was a little skeptical myself of the tablet and Macbook’s sheen and shine of the logo. After a brief search online, I not only found others sharing my suspicion (Jeremy from LiveDigitally) but also someone who easily cleared it up and showed how you could tell the image was fake. The first sign as I just touched on is the Apple logo reflection that bounces almost infinitely back and forth between the displays and their reflections.

The second and more clear sign that it’s a fake is shown in the picture above and right which shows the noise profile of the tablet (Posterous). As you can see, everything else is grainy except for the tablet. That my friends is a clear indicator that it was gingerly, very gingerly placed on top of that poor saps MBP. So again, a very good Photoshop debunked.
