  • I am totally uninterested in any all-in-one computer. If they're not mobile or quasi-mobile, like the original Mac or Sunflower iMac, then frankly I don't see how anyone could be interested. For long term stationary use, computers and monitors ou…
  • If they can't update the Mini or deliver a decent headless Mac, nothing else matters. I don't care if it's a Tablet MacPhone nano that shoots photon torpedoes. Screw Apple for ignoring its core competency.

  • This behavior of not wanting to sell a Mac without a monitor does appear to be a Jobs thing. When Jobs was gone, that was Apple's core. Now everything has to be all-in-one. I don't get it. It's not environmentally friendly to have redundant displays…

  • The Mac Mini will never be updated. I've been saying it for a while now and I keep being right. The same excuse has been mentioned time and time again. Just wait a few more weeks. Apple is waiting for the other products to ship. I've been hearing th…

  • Maybe they're finally adding those in-ear headphones and mic they announced back in September. They said they'd have them last month. Here's hoping they let me do VOIP on my iPod Touch.
  • Before I simply thought the iPod Touch was a superior product to this mythical giant, but looking at them side-by-side, now I know it for sure and think it's plainly obvious. That thing on the right looks big and clunky, underpowered, and tempting t…
  • "The market speaks, even if Apple doesn't." Truer words were never spoken. I've been watching the Mini's on eBay and Apple refurbs and they're always difficult to get for a deal. Now, he didn't say which two statements were 100%? Way to leave us …
  • I don't understand the notion that a midrange Mini would cannibalize sales from the iMac. The products would be built for very different markets. The iMac is for grandmas, people who like shiny things, and others who don't think much about a compute…

  • They wanted it to fit in the Mini! Quote: Originally Posted by xyz001 ...who wants a 9300 graphics chip in a desktop when even the cheapest and thinnest notebooks have the 9400? I guess the imac needs a 9600 to become a gaming machine I'…
