Apple’s Black Friday sale is now live in the US. At first glance, the sale is consistent to the sales of years past but let us not forget that Apple is promising to match competitor’s sales prices if need be. Happy hunting!

AppleInsider says the humble iMac is about to get zoomier. Apple should be sending the new iteration to store shelves sometime in the next four weeks. The exterior will be unaffected, however. As if anyone would mess with that lovely frame. Just look at it!

Here is what to expect: Faster processors that could go all the way up to quad-core, a new chipset, a complete move to discrete Nvidia graphics and a Mini DisPlayPort. Let’s camp outside of the Apple Store now. I’ll bring the granola bars.

I have an old iMac computer, and i have No clue what to do with it. It doesn’t work, I can’t sell it, all it’s good for is collecting dust in a corner. Well, as i was looking at recycle centers i came across a solution. turn the computer into a 1/2 gallon fish tank. Done and done. Although i don’t know how to to this myself anyone who does leave detailed instructions in the comment section below.

Apple’s released the new iMacs, and they’re beauties. Coming in 20- and 24-inch versions, built from aluminum, and sporting  the new Apple metallic keyboard (which is a negative for me), the specs are moderately impressive:

• Up to 2.4GHz Core 2 Extreme
• ATI Radon HD 2600 Pro
• Up to 1TB of internal storage
• 802.11n
• Bluetooth 2.0
• 8X Superdrives,
• 1GB RAM standard

But, the totally new design is just gorgeous, and sports some nice design features. For example, the entire unit is made from a single sheet of aluminum, so seams are a thing of the past. One negative: as far as I can tell, it’s not Santa Rosa, so it’s a step behind.

Pricing starts at $1,199 for the stock 20-inch to $1,799 for the 24-inch. Of course, options could take that higher.

The 5.5G iPods are selling a bit below Apple Store’s prices lately. You can get the 30GB or 80GB iPod (with video) for about $20 off at Amazon, Best Buy, Circuit City, and J&R.

Speculation abounds of course, with a hint at August 7th – the repudiated date for a new iMac and/or iLife to emerge.

So, perhaps these online retailers are selling off existing stock to make room for….?
