So... Having read that AI article from 2007... I'm wondering if said author has taken on a wider knowledge of industry since then? Even in 2007 it was obvious that the Mac Mini still had a long long future as a server. I guess the wisdom of Apple "Insider" doesn't include knowledge of the way these products are commonly used?
Ask any of the owners of Mac Mini server farms all over the world what the future of the Mac Mini is. They'll laugh out loud if you suggest that it's a dead product. Years ago or yesterday.
The Mac Mini is a more common and valuable server product than the XServe. Yes, it really is
Therefore, it comes as little surprise that sources, for whom AppleInsider holds the utmost respect, are now pointing towards the mini’s impending demise. […]
Ladies and gentlemen, AppleInsider believes in all sincerity that the Mac mini is dead.
Do you guys really believe hiding my post here means anything after you guys got fireballed?
I just moved it here because it's directly relevant to this thread (since it's THE thread) and it had already been necro'd by someone else earlier. Nothing hidden about it. Look, I'm even bumping it back up by replying again. It's now at the top of the New Posts page as well as the subforum in which it resides.
If the site owners wanted to hide their mistakes or their blatant lies (like the despicable people at MacOSRumors do), they would have long ago edited this entire thread or deleted it outright. Or even not long ago; since it just came to light again, they would have acted on it after Gruber's post.

Poor Mac Mini. I can't believe it died like this.
Oh wait.

Still time to get one as a collectible.

On the Future of the Mac Mini ?
Kasper Jade, AppleInsider:
I’d be worried if this article weren’t from 2007.

I have no idea why Gruber picked this out today. Did Kasper pee in his cherrios or something happen to the mini?

Your other post is visible. I saw it yesterday. I don't see any posts marked as deleted.
