  7. wtf? Cube and Newton were groundbreaking successes by toby · · Score: 2, Informative · on Will Mac mini Lead the Charge to Smaller Desktops?
    Just what was "wrong" about the Newton and Cube? Don't mistake cancelled products for flaws. I am familiar with both - and there's nothing wrong with either product. In fact, both were long ahead of their time - the Newton by 10-15 years, and the Cube by several years: the powerful, compact, fanless mini unit.

    Cubes hold their value better than probably any other Power Mac model - how's that for "wrong"? Nobody I know ever thought of a good explanation for the cancellation of the Cube; it certainly wasn't technical failings - the most likely reason was low margins. The Mini is another low margin product but the engineering is much less ambitious I suspect.

    Actually the swirl is a heavyly discussed marketing instrument for debian to rule the world, you may look at ... for other market leaders facilidating the swirl to impress buyers.

    I just wonder what exactly will be sold by debian :) Perhaps a good cup of tea to make the waiting more interesting?

    Anyway, I do recommend to read "Debian weekly"
