Apple announced a the new Intel Mac Mini. I would like to acquire one, so at some point I might.

Here are the specifications:

Mac mini At a Glance

* 1.5GHz Intel Core Solo or 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo processor
* Apple Remote with Front Row
* Up to 2GB memory4
* Intel GMA950 graphics processor
* DVI connector, VGA adapter
* Slot-loading optical drive
* Up to 120GB hard drive4
* Built-in gigabit Ethernet
* Analog and digital audio
* Expansion via USB and FireWire
* iLife ’06, Mac OS X Tiger

Apple also released the IPod Hi-Fi boombox, it comes with converters for each type of iPod. I don’t know if I would buy one of those. Additionally, apple announced a leather iPod cases for the 5th Generation and the nano iPod models would be available mid-March, for $99 each.

I learned today that your copy of Micorosft Windows is not transferrable to another machine. So for each PC you must purchase a new copy of Windows. In my opinion this is retarded and pointless. So how many people are going to purchase a new copy of windows for every PC. At $300 retail, that’s absurd to expect somebody to purchase a new copy every time you build a new computer. Particularly if you’re getting rid of a PC.
