It is a bit self serving, but given the state of the economy and the predictions for this holiday season I don't blame them for proactively announcing (non-announcing?) this.

I, too, hate it when I buy something and then they lower the price - I totally understand your thankfulness.

Sadly, affordable isn't in the Dictionary of Mac Terms. Such a bummer - I would totally put one of the Pros right next to my Thinkpad T61.

Sure a spec bump would be nice, but it's the form factor and OS X that make it "just work". ]]>Nov 3rd 2008 11:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/
Stick an atom in there, pull an MSI wind desktop, throw OS X on it, entry it at $299, even $349, and you've got a Mac Mini winner. That's what people want. OSX86 runs on Atom hardware like a charm, almost with no editing at all. Why can't apple do it?]]>Nov 4th 2008 12:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/Nov 3rd 2008 11:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/Nov 3rd 2008 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/Nov 3rd 2008 11:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/Nov 4th 2008 12:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/I doubt it's a new product though.]]>Nov 4th 2008 12:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/Nov 4th 2008 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/
They don't want it to be a good seller or a seller at all.. Why push something that's $600 bucks when you can push a $1100 dollar, $3000 dollar laptop/desktop machine?

Screw Apple, I'd pirate their OS and go to one of there shows and sit in the front row playing with OS X on some fucking crappie Acer machine just to get the shit stirred. It'd be fun to eject the disk and throw it like a frizzbie at Steve Jobs head, I hope I hit him between the eyes.

I'll also note that your attempt at poetic prose at the end of your first paragraph does not make sense. If you are going to use terms like "ne'er" (which means "never", incidentally) then please use it appropriately. If you consider people's use of language to be inappropriate then I would suggest that you use terminology that they are likely to understand else the meaning of what you are saying will be lost. Remember, this is a blog on the Internet, not an English language classroom. English is also not the first language of everyone here.]]>Nov 4th 2008 3:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/Nov 4th 2008 5:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/Nov 4th 2008 2:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/

Yea, there was a brilliant Jazz Pianist with the name Bill Evans... who died.

There is also a rather famous Jazz Saxophonist named Bill Evans, who is still alive.

I am not a betting man generally, but I would bet a buck or two that there is probably more then a half dozen people named Bill Evans IN YOUR HOMETOWN!!!! Quit wasting our time on your pointless drivel or incredibly lame attempt at humor, or teaching us some Jazz History Lesson.

I can't even believe I am wasting my time replying to such a stupid blog remark. The Late Great Dead Bill Evans is the Apple Corporate Spokesman, so it must not be true....

The end of the world must be near. Idiots Blogging, Cats and Dogs Living Together, MASS CHAOS!!! ]]>Dec 21st 2008 2:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/apple-chimes-in-to-debunk-those-mac-mini-imac-rumors/

It's not hatred, I like Steve Jobs.. I just like to sprinkle some funny mild violence on the situation. Turn on a TV, it's all the rage now..

LOL! Kids won't be reading this site.. Trust me.. Besides if there are the odd like 1% of children on here, they hear a lot worse at school, on TV and at home. My 4 year old nephew already knows all about getting down with girls, thanks to his school classmates.. Gimme a break.. lmfao.]]>Nov 4th 2008 3:09PM
