I've often said to friends that when I get my own place, I'm going to trick it out. At the moment, I have a wall mounted TV and Sky but what I really want is a NAS/streaming solution.
I've seen some, but Mac compatiblity is always a worry.
The AppleTV would seem to be the answer however space is limited. At < £200, it's not that badly priced for the base model, but at £250ish for extra storage, an extra 120Gb just isn't good enough.
I've thought about a Mac Mini but haven't decided on anything yet.
Apple's stuff is just too irresistible to me at the moment, plus I know it works.
Maybe when I get my own place!
Macrumours posted an article about registrations for the 2009 Macworld event and rumours for the event. Among other things, a possible increase in iPhone capacity. From 16 to 32Gb will definitely be a nice jump, but at what cost?
Anyway, I don't really give a shit about that, the thing I care most about is the possibility of a new Mac Mini. Since the new MacBooks don't feature any Blu-ray drives, I doubt the Mac Mini will come with one, but it might serve as an otherwise very, very capable media server. The HDCP stuff on the new MacBooks is just plain annoying, but I'm not sure how this will effect a new Mac Mini which may, or may not, move away from the DVI interface used at present.
The Mac Mini was the first Mac I really got to get to grips with and another Mac Mini was my first Apple computer purchase. It's now over 2 years old but still in constant use at home.
