You're certainly helping your case by posting in the thread. Just ignore it! You don't have to even see the thread!
Why does anyone bother buying iSights from eBay any more? For the same (or lower) price, you can walk into any computer store and pick up something like the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000, brand-new, which is fully Mac-compatible and offers much higher resolution.
Yeah, let's all get back to the really important stuff like the Gates/Seinfeld commercial and Steve Jobs' health, right?
With accelerometer- you shake it to randomly switch to a different program.
Ahahahahah! This made my day

The next mini will include the Nano Collider for home particle research, and its top will be a hot plate that you can make scrambled eggs on.
After reading all the postings about the Mini, I can see why it does not get the frequent upgrades like the rest of the pack. It was designed for those who want to experiment with OSX, and many, perhaps most, do not know about the Intel processor road map. It is the most cost effective way to experience OSX. The small size makes it unique and "cute". Therefore, I have concluded that no upgrades are imminent until Intel discontinues the Mini hardware. Even though the specs are getting old, the Mini is still quite a powerful machine.

Mac mini Rev Around the Corner?
Hardmac's Lionel reports:
"One of our 'sources' has indicated that he has more and more problems obtaining a supply of the Mac mini from Apple.
"With a little bit of luck (but we have already said this many times) Apple could have finally decided to update this machine that we particularly appreciate...."
you don't have to look at the thread if you're so annoyed with it. in fact, i think there might be an option to ignore specific threads
so right you are...
mac mini updates in october [fingers crossed]
I use a Mac Mini as my entertainment center exactly as you described. The current Mini will do everything you listed just fine, except for
10) Playing the occasional videogame.
depending on what the video game is. I have mine hooked up to an HDTV at 1900x1080 resolution, and to a surround-sound system via the digital audio out that the Mini has. I would like an upgrade though because I want a better video card, because I have a couple of games that work fine on my MBP, but not on the Mini because of the video card. But for the most part it works fine as an entertainment center.
Quite right ..... I was getting a little , how will I say? , irate (that's the word) with all the iPhone threads and found that I could simply change my user settings and not even see them at all , bliss

apple never think big enough, they should design the mini to be both cheap and expensive.....
everyone knows the mini is based around macbook parts, but why not kill 2birds with one stone, why not design the mini's enclosure large enough to use any of the components used in the macbook, macbook pro and imac(desktop Hardrives)
that way people can have a cheap low end mini, and others can have one with a 1TB drive with the imacs 8800GS card

No no no ...The iPhone (while ok for what it is) will not run Logic very well.

In one of my dreams maybe , but as for reality ...not a cat in hells chance , unfortunately
true but only because apple dont think big enough and it would be cost effective as one Enclosure would fit all.
Imagine something the same width and depth as the Time Capsule but double it height. perfect
We all know they could do it , and should do it ...but they wont .Why ? is my question , they
seem to be holding back all the time We all know they could do it , and should do it ...but they wont .Why ? is my question , they
