If you read the PDF, you see they don't hide the fact that the Mac mini server is a lot less powerful than the Xserve. If you currently use an Xserve but use only about 1/3 of its power, you can cut your electric bill (power for the computer and power for the AC) by switching to a Mac mini server.
He's right though. It's not just about Caprica, it's about TV shows which require a minimum of brain cells to watch.
Reaper (CW), Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (Fox), Better Off Ted (ABC), Heroes (NBC), Caprica (SyFy)... I've heard rumors about Stargate Universe being cancelled too.
Reaper was a lot funnier than Chuck. The guy doing the devil was hilarious and hated at the same time. I hope he gets a devil role in a future movie.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles may have not had a lot of fans, but those who followed the story really want a proper ending/tie-in with the movies storylines.
Better Off Ted had a lot of good nerdy jokes and references in its first season but went a bit too mainstream for its second season, that's why ratings went down. You can see it happen with the fake Veridian commercials. The first ones are clever (friendship: it's like stealing), the last ones are just stupid.
Heroes... why did they cancel that? Is there not enough viewers that can follow a story told in a few years instead of a few minutes?
Caprica... we know what happened, the story was about filling in the details, which we'll never know. It sure didn't get cancelled because of the decors, special effects or actors IMHO.
Stargate Universe was slow to start (hey, the damn ship was falling apart), too bad too many viewers stopped watching. Their loss may end up being everyone's loss.
And those are just from memory, I'm sure a lot more good shows have been cancelled in the last decade.
Apple usually puts emphasis on how the features are easy-to-use, not about how they're the first to do it.
As examples, they weren't the first ones to offer smartphones or MP3 players but they sure made these popular with the non-technical crowds by making these things much easier to use.
I have a Tandy 1000 RLX. With its 80286 processor, VGA video, IDE support and 1.44 MB floppy drive, it's the best, smallest Tandy 1000 to have while still being able to easily find legacy parts for it (monitor, hard drive, etc).
If you only run MS-DOS, replace the hard drive with the biggest supported Compact Flash card you can find. You can store all your old games on it and still have lots of room left.

I've heard that some get the WLOD.

Luckily for you there is two flavors available: Duracell and Energizer!

So you have a time-freezing device? That's cool!

They're not performing anal probing, they're shooting inter-racial porn movies.
There you go, pushing your commercial agenda on us again.
Who's to say they wouldn't prefer an interplanetary mastercard?
Doesn't Windows XP also have WGA?
Besides, haven't you learned from patents yet? Anything old can be new again by adding "on the internet" or "on a cellphone" at the end.

Indeed. If patches carried the risk of having the programmers executed if it didn't go well, there would be no software bugs at all.
I was referring to "Too bad no other browser maker takes advantages of the OS features used to do that." from AC, three levels above my comment.
