News from the Mac World

Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple, did his annual MacWorld presentation which many Macheads anxiously await each year since Jobs usually presents something new or interesting in his presentation. There were many rumors about a cheap Mac on the way, and near of the presentation, Jobs finally revealed what everybody was waiting for: the Mac Mini. It's an elegantly designed 6.5 square, 2 inches high computer that literally almost fits at the palm of your hand. Although it doesn't come with a monitor (and keyboard and mouse for that matter), I think what Apple is doing is trying to just attract those PC users who would buy a mac if it were cheaper, and then let the PC user connect up their existing PC components to it. The other new hardware release is the iPod Shuffle, the newest and smallest iPod to date. Those Apple marketting people did a pretty good job trying to divert the public attention to the fact that this iPod doesn't have an LCD trying to highlight the shuffle feature and such. But the nicest part of this iPod is the price. $99 buys you a 512 meg version, and $50 more buys you a 1 giger. But the best part about the iPod shuffle page has to be the 2nd footnote at the bototm of the page :D Go find it and you'll see what I mean :D
