The Newest Mac Mini, and The Evil That Is Apple

Mac Mini With No Optical Drive

Yesterday, Apple released a bunch of new products. There’s a new version of the Macintosh Operating System that makes your computer act a lot more like an iPad, and also adds other new features. There are new laptop computers, and Apple’s eliminated a few models. In short, yesterday was just another one of Apple’s a-couple-of-times-each-year product drops.

Except for what Apple did to that darned Mac Mini.

Macs are More Secure Than Windows PCs . . . NOT!

Let the nasty notes fly . . .

So this week Apple releases Snow Leopard. It’s the latest and greatest version of the Macintosh OS, otherwise known as OS X Version 10.6. And I have to tip my hat to them; it’s a great release for many reasons, and at just $30 it will be a great seller (And should be!), even though you might not notice the differences from what’s in Macintosh OS X version 10.5.

Volumes have been written already, and my pal David Pogue at the New York Times has covered this subject as exhaustively and accessibly as anyone. I recommend his take on the subject highly.

Why More People Don’t Use an iPhone

Simple: Because They Don’t Get It.

I’m not about to go off on a the-iPhone-is-the-best-thing-since-sliced-bread rant. In fact, let me state, right here, right now, for the record, that I am not a user, and on my last birthday was offered one as a gift and just couldn’t do it. I TRIED, by the way. I went to an AT&T Store, explained to a very nice associate that I needed to be left alone to play with one, was set up to do so, spent nearly an hour, and walked away hating the iPhone.

Apple Virus Found!

Yes, it’s true. After many years of claiming that their products are impervious to viruses, Apple has egg all over its face.

Or rather, is the egg all over its face.

I’ve resisted commenting on the iPhone price drop debacle. Let’s get this out of the way: my opinion is that even in a market where prices free-fall (and I argue that the iPhone is not a typical mobile phone, so this doesn’t apply, anyway), Apple has screwed its early-adopter customers to a wall dropping the price of the iPhone by $200 just two months after its initial, much-hyped release. No news there; everybody thinks so.
