Well, everything said in the MacWorld magazine report sounds about right. Has an Apple spokesperson ever deliberately lied about holiday product plans in recent history? With the economy in recession, it makes total sense for Apple to make the decis…

EXCELLENT! [Note: I originally wrote this in another thread, then saw this thread and moved it here.] My stupid $0.04 . . . Notebooks and laptops simply don't work for a lot of applications. Laptops are being increasingly used in field appl…

Moved this post to the "MacTouch FTW" thread instead.

I personally don't see a lot of value added in including a MagSafe connector, as cool as they are, on the new mini. Since it's not a portable device, a plain 'ole wall wart AC power supply, as ugly as those are, is what I expect them to supply it wi…

I actually prefer glossy screens. Just like in photographic prints, glossy prints have inherently more contrast than matte prints. Any less-than-mirror-finish surface will reduce image contrast as it diffuses any and all ambient light falling onto i…

Thank god! Thank you, AppleInsider, and macminicolo.net! My god, I didn't even think of all the mini-server applications! Instant scalability--neat idea! But, as I expected, there are many, many commercial installations that take advantage of the mi…

Regarding the 1080p delivery argument over PS3 and BD players, note that at this time, there is almost ZERO content (aside from certain CG-generated console game content) that is actually ACQUIRED (photographed and recorded) in 1080p. As mentioned b…

My stupid $0.02 . . . I've just converted to all iMacs from PCs. I had also planned to buy at least two additional, MacMinis to use as home theater PCs (HTPCs), until I read the MacRumors Buyers' Guide recommendation. Here's what I think (based o…

Oh great! Now I've joined yet another forum on which to consume countless hours! You guys are funny! I love the, "72dpi image the client found on the internet," joke. I've been around a while too, I guess. I remember spray painting my old Apple II f…
