Mac Mini – Say goodbye to my little friend….

Gizmodo is reporting that the Mac mini might be on it’s way out!:

“The Mac mini may be pronounced dead as soon as today’s Apple earnings conference call, as two major retailers in Europe have confirmed to me that they can’t order any more of the little computers. While this could signal an updated model coming in, they have been told by Apple to expect no more of it. Their impression is that—once again—the Mac Mini may be dead dead DEAD for real, even while you can still order it at the Apple Store.”

So long little guy…..sniff sniff….

On Tuesday, all our questions will be answered: $800 MacBooks? Blu-Ray? One piece of aluminum construction? we’ll see…..

‘Brick’ – A Mac Mini? Tablet? MacBook? A friend of mortar?

Buzz around the geek blogosphere is all about what is going to be revealed by Apple in Oct. (if anything) Rumors are flying, as they always do, and the latest is code named “brick”.

iphonesavior is reporting:

“Sources have indicated Apple’s “one more thing”, code named ‘Brick’ rumored to be announced around October 14th along with a MacBook refresh, will actually be a re-design of the Mac Mini super-sized to reveal a Mac Mini Pro of sorts. A wild idea that sounds like a stretch of the imagination from sources that we were unable to confirm as completely reliable.”

September 9th – Apple’s Special Event? – Mark you calendar?

Kevin Rose is stirring up a huge “geek” whirlwind surrounding his latest video post about Apple’s new iPod nano, iTunes 8 and its new music subscription service.
On the TWIT, This Week in Tech podcast, he chatted about his video and gave more info about the upcoming special event.

This is a lot of news for one guy to unveil. Does he have the connections? In my opinion, he has a reputation to protect and can’t afford to be wrong.
I guess we will sit back, cross our fingers and wait until 9.9.08.
