Mac mini March: IBM developerWorks series on the Mac mini

By Scott McNulty

Remember the good old days when Big Blue was the enemy,
Microsoft was Apple's closest friend and the Mac had a huge slice of market share?

Neither do I (I'm such a young technologist), however now that IBM is busy popping out processors for Apple and selling its own PC making operations to China the climate is right for the IBM developerWorks to produce a
series about using the Mac mini as an embedded development platform.

The series author is enamored by the Mac mini, and thinks that serious developers should take a look at it for developing custom applications for a variety of solutions. He even toted his Mac mini to the coffee shop and used his laptop's screen as a monitor to prove his devotion to the little guy.

I love articles where Apple's gear is positioned as the solution that makes the most sense for a small budget. It is happening more and more, and I think that is a good thing.
