Just one look at the Mac Mini retail box is enough to figure that out. It's that minimalist strategy. Save an inch here and there and it all adds up in dollar profits.

I think I've had my fair share of that for the day, savvy?... But here's hoping yours is full of fun and adventure... and... things you like n' stuff :D

@FORDY

I knew the joke was terrible... I made it terrible on purpose (hence the neglected high five part). The point wasn't the joke itself... it was how much it sucked to the point that I was laughed at... or... something. Alas... it backfired. This is my fail for the day (and as far as fails go it could've been a lot worse so I'm quite relieved actually)]]>Jun 15th 2010 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/

I guess in the early 80s the scientists didn't really think of it that their CDs and DVDs would be way too big for a 2010 Mac mini. This thing would be half the size by now. ;-)]]>Jun 15th 2010 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/I agree, I have the older model and this looks much nicer. One thing though - I always thought that the mac mini had to have a plastic top for the WiFi and Bluetooth to transmit properly, how does this new design work around that? I'd like to see perhaps a WiFi speed and distance comparison between the models. ]]>Jun 15th 2010 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/Jun 15th 2010 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/Figure 17 seems to suggest the aerial is on the bottom.]]>Jun 15th 2010 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/Jun 15th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/Jun 15th 2010 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/Jun 15th 2010 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/

I guess they figure you can make just as much (if not more) money selling a few at really high profit margins than selling a million with low margins.

Making the OS "encrypt" end to end so that you can't pick off the stream mid way. New Drivers would be needed for video. Its the stupid DRM, making the format a "bag of hurt". MS suffered through this process with Vista. I think apple was waiting for video DRM to go the way of Audio DRM]]>Jun 15th 2010 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/
Even Microsoft doesn't make the PLAYER for blu-ray.. you have to buy that from SOMEBODY ELSE and Microsoft doesn't certify the "tilt bit" for DRM on your hardware... your OEM has to do that. Dell, HP, etc put the boxes together and have all the "blame" and no control over the drives, the player software, or the OS. ]]>Jun 15th 2010 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/Jun 15th 2010 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/Jun 15th 2010 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/mac-mini-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/if you assume OSX provides no additional value over Win7.

Do you really believe the benefits you get from OSX over Windows is worth several hundred $s/£s/€s? I mean, I don't see ANY computer manufacturer matching the case design or compact build any time soon, or being able to pack the power into the space used...but what is the monetary value of that? ]]>Jun 15th 2010 10:11AM
