How can anything else matter, if they can't make a decent headless Mac?

Ireland doesn't know anything, He's been told that much before. This is the same dude who thinks an iPhone that doesn't fit in your pocket is a good idea.

Ha, I just saw someone post this in the Macrumors thread about a $799 Mini running an Atom. The current mini is - 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - 1GB memory 1GB memory - 120GB hard drive for $799. He asked, gee, what can I buy for $799? …

Have any of you seen this? http://us.shuttle.com/X2700.aspx They clearly thought it made sense to use an Atom to compete with the Mini. Looking at their marketing style, which takes a lot of influence from Apple, it's easy for me to feel c…

We all would like to think that Apple doesn't compromise on quality, but they've been doing it with the Mini for the past couple years. This is keeping in line with that tradition.

2 more months and a downgrade. Coupling it with the "what do you take me for?" feeling I get from the Mini now, it somehow seems likely. I feel sick.

It's because the Mini was over a year and a quarter old. You could buy a 2.0 Ghz Dell Studio Hybrid with better specs for half the price of the 2.0 Ghz Mini. Still can, as a matter of fact. Tim Cook said in October that Apple doesn't compromise o…

Just when I was starting to have nostalgia for the pre-Jobs days. I said in another thread that if the Mini remains as it is for a full two years, then I would be happy to see Jobs step down. After 18 months I'm rather neutral about it. His healt…
