According to this recent study, for example, European men have gained approximately 4 inches in height in 100 years, i.e., about 4 or 5 generations.
That's natural selection at work. If you can see further ahead in the traffic, you'll arrive home earlier and score with the women before the short men who are still stuck in traffic.
The CPU in your 2011 Mac mini, whatever model you have, is clocked higher than the low-end 2014 Mac mini. I expect more than 1.5GHz in 2014 for a desktop Mac.
The Mac mini is supposed to be the entry-level Mac. By using a desktop CPU instead of a more expensive, low-voltage and slower laptop CPU, the Mac mini would have been cheaper and more powerful. There used to be a quad-core i7 option before Haswell and those dissipated even more heat so it's not a problem with the size of the case.
Have you even seen the low-end 2014 Mac mini? It's a 1.5GHz CPU that's supposed to go in ultra-portables. The worst part is, that CPU is more expensive than a regular CPU, so Apple made two mistakes in what is supposed to be their entry model to OS X.
Apple hardware is over-priced, but then again you get the OS and the office suite for free with the system and free upgrades later, so it's kind of cheaper in the long run.

A MacBook without OS X may still be an Apple computer but it's no longer a Mac.
Thank you, I didn't know about the different pinout.
But Apple could still have used something better than 1.5GHz in the entry-level model. Even the 50$CAD Celeron in my gaming PC runs at 2.8GHz.
Cell phones aren't made of actual cells, buddy.
Score: +5 Funny, +5 Duh.

That's probably why.
The real problems will start when we go from ARM to LEG.
Why buy a Mac at all if you're not going to use OS X?

What the hell is that FUD?
What's that about "illegal backward engineering of motorola chips", what are you smoking? Apple used real Motorola CPUs just like Amiga and Atari ST.
And that Apple Corps lawsuit was just a legal battle about a name, not industrial espionnage.
There's plenty of reasons to bash Apple if you want to, but your reasons are pulled out of thin air.
Don't worry, they'll make it up in volume.
Apple clings so much to legacy hardware that the CPU clock speed of their new entry-level Mac mini is nearly the same as a decade ago.
Turbo Pascal from Borland? What about it?
Thank god for 3M for releasing that patch, though.

Don't worry, in 2015 Slashdot will finally stop using Flash video. They're switching to RealVideo.
The next record-breaking attempt will end badly with the man floating away into the emptiness of space.
Care to tell me how easy and free it is to do this for a hundred websites that brings zero profits?
8GB RAM? I wish. The "new" 2014 entry-level Mac mini only has 4GB in the standard configuration, like all four models of MacBook Air.
We already have that. It's open and it's not centralized. It's called email and websites.
It's an Apple 1. There is no corners at all.
If there was 137 more working Apple 1, they wouldn't be worth that much.
