In the midst of a recession, the worst in a while, Apple manages to update three of their most prominent product lines: new Mac Minis, new Mac Pros, and new iMacs.  If you ask me, this is a pretty risky endeavor on Apple’s part. Sure, it’s great to keep product… Continue Reading »

So, the Mac Mini finally received its much wanted update; rather quietly, with no events or notifications. Judging by the front exterior, there’s not that much different.
