Technologizer — ... that runs OS X. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Apple products rarely have even a whiff of me-toosim about them; when it responds to industry trends, it usually does so with something that does so in a sideways fashion. Like the Mac Mini, which has very little in common with the low-cost Windows PCs it was originally designed to compete with. Or, for that matter, the iPhone.

The perfect external HDD for the Mac mini
The Apple Core — ... Like a lot of people, I have a Mac mini connected to my home entertainment system. It’s great for watching movies, viewing photos and listening to music but the problem is the mini’s anemic hard drive. The Mac mini is only available with a 80, 120 or 160GB hard drive – which is hardly enough space for a serious media center. Previously I used a garden-variety external FireWire drive which worked but was difficult to connect and disconnect because my mini is in pretty tight quarters. miniStack: The perfect external HDD for the Mac mini I’ve been testing ...

It does this over an SSH encrypted connection (and also automatically sets up a proxy for secure web-browsing over the tunnel). Yes, you can get some of these benefits with a simple SSH tunnel, or you could set up a VPN using HamachiX, but the simple fact that ShareTool "Just Works" makes it my favorite choice for everything from screen sharing to iTunes streaming.

NPD also misses sales outside the U.S. What to expect from Apple? The pressure is on for Apple to announce an inexpensive Netbook-class notebook machine. Perhaps.

Mac mini refresh, what's new?
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) — ... : a surprisingly capable machine in an impossibly small size. There have only been a few major snags for me in the time I've owned Mac minis, and most of those were cleared up this morning. I know some will be disappointed to lose the FireWire 400 port, but I'm ecstatic about the FireWire 800 replacement.

It also features the same port array as recently leaked photos have shown.

Leaving out extra software, I managed to hit $14,150. Ouch. Solid updates all, and no real surprises.

What Do You Make Of That New Mini?
Cult of Mac — ... So, what do you make of the updated Mac mini? I think it remains a very attractive buy, but not to so many people; mainly because it doesn’t feel like the bargain it used to be. My old G4 mini (now sold off to a happy new owner) was a great machine for the money it cost, and performed very well at every task I asked of it. It’s the notion of *value* that has defined the mini to date, and that’s the main problem I see with this update. Yes, we all know that Apple doesn’t do cheap machines, but the mini represented excellent value ...

The Apple Core — ... Apple on Tuesday updated its $599 Mac mini and said that the box is faster and greener than before — a no brainer since its been ages since the line was refreshed (a year and a half) and this update was something that Mac watchers have fretted over. But what kind of customer buys a Mac mini? I say: Mac and Linux geeks. The common wisdom says that the Mac mini appeals to switchers from Windows. In this model, the customer is totally interested in the entry price of the  box. Certainly, with the current economic distress, this price-point consideration must be growing. Still, ...

No plans to offer monthly subscriptions for access to the video library. If the company took care of this stuff, hardware makers and content providers alike would be quaking in ...

Gadgetwise: Apple Pumps Up the Mini and Revamps iMacs
NYT > Technology — The new version of Apple’s Mac Mini , which failed to appear two months ago at the Macworld Expo, emerged today, and while it’s billed as “faster” and “greener,” the Mini remains a small desktop computer with the soul of a laptop. Apple has also upgraded the MacPro tower and the iMac line, which now offers a 24-inch display at the same price, $1,499 as the older 20-inch model. (The 20-inch remains, and now costs $1,199.)

No one wants to look at a huge tower next to a sleek flat screen—much less have to find room in an already-crowded media cabinet.
