mac mini .. most of you guys probly think it's unattractive .. you gotta see it in person. sure it doesnt have scuff prone acrylic on it, but it is very attractive. It is INSANEL…

I voted Cube on account of it not being silver.

Yeah, the original-style all-in-one cube Macs (Macintosh, Mac 512K/Ke, Mac Plus, Mac Classic/II, Mac Color Classic/II), the entire Mac II series, the whole Mac Centris series, the …

The Cube is better designed. When it came out it was cutting edge technology, not old stuff like the Mac mini. Even today we have 1.7GHz Cubes running Radeon 9800's. Pretty amazing…

The Mini is just a iBook without the screen and a brick for a power supply. What is so impressive about it? Geez.

Part of a good design is that it is priced right to make a profit and sells. I think the Cube is what happened when Apple tried to make a small, quiet computer that had everything…

Ive spent the last couple of days fixing up my Cube for my daughter. I still love that thing. It's a breeze to work on. Easier to swap hard drives than a G4 tower if you ask me, th…

This would be so cool. Having a partition so I could take my home folder & settings from one mac to another, say a laptop to a desktop or a friends mac etc. I'm not lucky eno…

No need for a partition. You can do this already with the hard-drive based iPods though I never heard of a flash being bootable. Trouble is it's good for an emergency boot but for …

I forgot the picture in my original post. I too have a backup system on my 20gig iPod but even though it's a basic system, it's still a whole system. How do you just take the ho…

but as a usb drive you can boot up a PC if you so wish with your own personal linux os or just /home if it already has linux on it & you want to just keep your personl settings…

Macs that have AGP graphics can boot from Mass Storage compliant USB devices, and from FireWire devices. Mac OS is bootable from USB and FireWire. Whether any of the Linux bootlo…

Well I don't know about usb booting Linux on Apple hardware but on a PC I find it interesting that you can boot a whole operating system, with web browser, ftp client, emial client…

Does anyone think the price of the iPod/iPod photo will come down soon? Now with the Mac Mini you have the choice of a 40Gb iPod Photo or a new CPU for the same price. Tough choice…

I doubt Apple is feeling much pressure to do so. They sold 4.58 million of them last quarter, price apparently is not holding the product back.

prices wont come down - it's perceived value - kind of like how a perfume can cost �35, apple will discontinue & up the specs keeps prices about the same rather than stand stil…
