OS 8 was not a drastic departure from OS 7 and OS 9 was not a drastic departure from 8. There was a progression of capabilities to these OS's. OS X will move to OS XI when Apple runs out of numbers or decides that they have used up enough incrementa…

I would say it is a good bet that Apple will have a special event within a month, they have been making the trade shows less important to the product updates for some time and this fits with that strategy. Also it is a good bet that they will not wa…

The two complaint I have are the scroll ball and right "button". The scroll ball is great when it works, but is hard to clean and keep working on a mouse that gets a lot of use. Right now, between work and home, I use 3 of them and only one, the…

With what they have now the two products that could "Shut out the competition" are the iPhone and the AppleTV. The iPhone just received an update and is not likely to see a price cut this soon after it's introduction. They also are having no pro…

A good reason, possibly an indication, not to discontinue it is that of all the Macs sold in the Refirb store online at Apple the Mini seems to spend the least amount of time available on the site. When they are available, especially the newer model…

A stylus...it can have multi-touch as well, but for precise selection and input if you are going real work on it like taking notes or making sketches in a meeting (I'm a designer) it needs a stylus or I would not be interested in it.

I may be mistaken but don't developers usually want more robust hardware as a development platform? If Apple were to release something like this it would not be aimed at developers.

I think that you are hoping for too much in the update. I would guess a 2.5 to 2.6 processor with 1 GB RAM, the current HD size, no LED display. There might be a GPU update, but I think that it is just as likely to stay the same. I also doubt there …

I would be surprised if Apple did discontinue this model, have you watched the refirb store at Apple, the newer ones rarely stay in stock for 24 hours when they are put up. I think that the older models would go faster if they adjusted the price's t…
