A new link has appeared on www.google.com - Google is advertising there own Google mini. As I highly doubt that this will be any competition for Apple. I find it interesting that they took the same name on something great and used it for there own. Here is product information about it. http://www.google.com/enterprise/mini/
Got a tip for us?

I think that existed before the Mac mini. And yes, at $4,995, I don't think the two products exactly compete.
Yeah how could you possibly compare the two products outside the name? This appears to be a server for small businesses.
Neat idea, but given the limit of 50,000 documents, the business would have to have a great need for info fast and easy to justify the $5000 cost.
wait, why did apple come out with a computer named after an iPod which was named after a car?!?!! now google is naming a server after a comoputer? . . . . . . .
. . . its just a name. anyone can use it. unless i copyright the word 'the' then noone can use 'the' in the title of a product!!! or maybe i should just go for the letter i "i" is my letter and noone can use it in their product name!!!!!

umm.. unless i'm mistaken this google server has been around for a long time.. or was it yellow? hm.. not sure.. either way they have been making servers such as this for awhile now.. it's more competition for os x server.. yet it appears this is simply a search engine machine rather than a "server" per say.

Lets just do a little adjusting to that price:
Google mini: $4,995
<---move and convert the "'," into "." move 2 numerics and you have $499.5 --->
Mac mini: $499
What next people will compare the mini cooper to the Mac mini?

This is the mini version of the yellow one. The yellow one handles up to 1.5M documents and comes in several sizes....
