That site is a joke. They can just go to the main part of the site if they really need confirmation.

That article is completly biased and uneducated in every way! He's obviously a Microsoft fanb0y who doesn't know a good prduct when he see's one. I read the first few sentences and totally stopped. The mac mini is the r0x0rs of all 0rs. A total and complete idiot wrote that piece and he can't stand that apple is coming out with a good product. Damn fanb0is!!1!

Eh, I think he makes some good points. It still costs more than a new Dell that actually comes with everything....

While I hate Apple products and Apple marketing schemes. That review is written by a complete tool with no understanding of computers outside of basic use.

Proof just in the first few paragraphs... where he mentions the lack of a floppy drive, no PCI slots, and that you can't hook a printer to it (when all printers made now have a USB connection).

Oh, now I get it...

Back in the lab, we were able to borrow a USB keyboard and mouse from a Tangerine iMac collecting dust in the closet and get the darn Mini booted up at last. This is where the first noticeable problem with Apple design arises. While there is a Mac-style donnnnggggg when the Mini is first turned on, during normal operation the unit makes no sound whatsoever. This could make it very difficult for a novice user to know whether or not the computer is on. In fact, it took our techs about fifteen minutes before we realized the unit itself was operating normally and it was the monitor that was not plugged in properly. It turns out the Mini uses a weird kind of display connector on the back that requires a special adapter if you want to plug it into a PC monitor. We used a 15 Compaq VGA display.

It's an ACTUAL joke review.

The article is a joke, ie, not meant to be taken seriously... So I guess the OP may be referring to you.

It's a freakin' joke review.

obviously few of US would want/need a Mini, but it would be great for our drooling relatives who can't seem to keep spyware/viruses off the Dell we got from Hot Deals.

I'd say that complaining about the lack of a Mac version of Weatherbug destroys any credibility he might have possibly had.

While I don't care much for the Mac Mini, this guy is obviously retarded.

Weatherbug? Why not just install ForecastFox extension for FireFox?

Yeah, I posted the link earlier to see how many people it fooled as a little experiment.

Conclusion: Far too many people were fooled. Even after other people (including myself) had posted that yes, it is a 'joke' review, people were still taking the review seriously.



Anyways.... check out this hilarious review of IE 'plugins' by the same guy: http://www.divisiontwo.com/articles/utilityshootout.html

And some (that means you) don't read threads and thus show themselves to be even below that level of moronitude.
