The Mac mini is (and will always be) an entry-level Macintosh for the Macintosh curious who were previously turned off by pre-Mac mini computer prices.
As an American, I'm not familiar with living under Communist rule, but I'm pretty sure that the penalties of trying to circumvent Chinese government-controlled limitations are probably more severe than those of the United States.
Same black-suited guys emerging from black vans. Where they take you and what they do to you/treat you is a whole, 'nother thing.
I'm disappointed that Entourage still lacks the Exchange support needed to fully eliminate the need for Outlook 2001.
All the Macs in my workplace have to keep Classic just to run Outlook. When you have a shop full of non-OS9 G4s and G5s, it's a disgrace. And while Mail.app can work with Exchange servers, it can't touch the Global Address Book and other important things.
Space Shuttles generally do not carry enough fuel to reach the higher orbit of the ISS unless the mission is explicitly planned to visit the ISS (and thus have the additional fuel).
Also, only one of the shuttles has a large enough carbo bay to contain the ISS docking module, assuming it would be launch with the module on a non-ISS-visit mission.
I'll probably lose a lot of karma for this, but just like the past summer's hurricane disasters in Florida, people have to realise that there is a price to pay when you choose to live in a natural disaster zone.
If you live near a fault line, you just might be a victim of an earthquake. Period. No surprises here.
Likewise, if you live in a coastal region near a known fault line, you just might be a victim of a tsunami. Period. No surprises here.
I blame the governments of the countries affected for not making it a higher priority to institute a monitoring/early-warning system for the Indian Ocean. The Japanese, Australians and other countries of the Pacific Ocean have had one in place for years.
If you can make Linux as easy to use as Windows, including doing all configuration from easy-to-click dialogue boxes, and make it compatable with all the hardware, games and other Windows software found in mainstream retail stores without having to run them in wrappers or emulators, we'll be more than happy to switch.
In the meantime, we'd rather not undergo the hassles of Linux and just use Firefox on our Windows machines.
Wait until 7 years from now when you feel nostalgic and want to install Half-Life 2 on an old machine.
You can't play it offline Single-Player without activating it... and by then Valve's Steam authentication server might no longer be listening for activation requests.
Actually, Microsoft will just point out things that install/run/integrate_with_windows_and_office conveniently via ActiveX.
Then, they'll make a layman's testimonial that only browsers with ActiveX can meet all of a home user's and corporate entity's needs, then state that Internet Explorer is the only browser with ActiveX to make it all work nicely.
Finally, they'll close with a Service Pack 2 for XP commercial that gets IT Managers to scramble their overworked IT departments to rush out the ultra secure IE6SP2 on production machines...

Whenever you go away from your computer for any reason or prior to engaging any power management mode:
File... Save.
The Mac mini is not marketed by Apple as a server.
That's why they made Xserves.

It's bad enough that you commit thoughtcrime.
Do you honestly expect the thought police to miss them when they are written out on a blog and available for anyone to see?
"Room 101!"
Back in the late 1980s, we called this phenomenon "Nintendo-thumb".
There is no known cure.

And of course, eXeem will be used exclusively for the mass distribution of Free, Open Source, GNU, and GPL'd software.
Especially with the Mac mini being available next weekend.

If you have lots of investments and anything beyond a standard 1040, you should seek an accountant.
Maybe instead they'll just ask for a tax to be added to the price of all large-sized hard disks, say anything above 137GB.
They can point to the tax we pay on blank VHS tapes as an example.

Now we can all be Picard!
Great, now in addition to getting advertisements on the radio, I'll get spammed with advertisements by passing cars...
Dear Chris Spencer,

FFIV was also rereleased on the WonderSwan Color.
Don't forget the special "The Hobbit" featurette bonus disc!
Wesley Crusher showed up as a wedding guest in Star Trek: Nemesis.
So, in a sense, he did "return" to the TNG timeline & cast of Trek.
Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Panther Edition by David Pogue is an excellent book for Mac OS X users, both new and pro.

You're left with a nice Half-Life 2 coaster.

Today, your wallet gets stolen or mugged form you. You make a few calls and move on with life.
Tomorrow, with biometrics, you can get knocked unconscious and:
- RFID/chip implants removed (cue bathtub/kidney urban legend)
- hands lopped off
- eyes removed
I like today's solution better.
