I hope to see a new mini.

YAY! I need a new web server (the current mini is a Power PC).

I would like to see a mini that has AppleTV functionality built in for realz.

Apple is going to piss on microsofts chips tomorrow. Big update, promise.

Blu-ray? Maybe I buy if there's blu-ray-----otherwise no.

Well, tomorrow is the big grand opening of Microsoft's first retail store in Scottsdale, AZ. What a perfect time to introduce new iMacs and Mac minis!

The only problem with the theory is that Apple likes to introduce new products on Tuesdays.

@ Bizlaw

Where I live tomorrow is Tuesday.

I bet Apple does just that.

More importantly, where <I>Apple<> lives, tomorrow is Tuesday.

The Mayan calendar says tomorrow we all die.

I believe Apple would have scheduled media in advance for any type of major hardware revisions.

I do not think they will be pissing on MicroSofts so called parade

Where the hell does Bizlaw live? And when during the wek does Tuesday fall there?

Bizlaw lives in the future.

Five bucks says that all new Macs include Win7 preinstalled, to upstage Microsoft's launch on Thursday, and obviate any need or desire to buy a new Dull Computer.

I thought it was going to be last week, but I will reset to this week, by Thursday, between the earnings call and the latest version of Windows FAIL, erm I mean Windows 7.

Still waiting for the G5 laptop! Maybe a dual quad-core iMac headless tower? Oooooh...

I live in the Mayan yucatan, and tomorrow here is Tuseday, unless it rains

In other news, Microsoft unleashes Windows Sven. It only speaks Norwegian and pillages your computer. (Insert Viking joke here).

Problem is, when ever Apple intros new Macs, with better price
points, it will be spun they dropped the price because of windows 7

@hot

who cares. I don't see a problem. How ever they want to characterize the release, Apple is on a roll and microsoft will do anything to hang on to Apples coat tails.

I will be buying a new iMac this week. I just hope I've had time to play with it some before heading over to m$'s grand opening. Naturally, I'll be bragging about the screen and quad-core mobo.

Ah. These iMac & Mac mini refreshes are still "imminent", are they?

Macminicolo just confirmed this on twitter too.

Dylan sings one for windows 7:

Clouds so swift
Rain won't lift
Gate won't close
Railings froze
Get your mind off wintertime
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

I don't care
How many letters they sent
Morning came and morning went
Pick up your money
And pack up your tent
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

I doubt these new "coming any day now for the last month" models, whenever they are actually released, will be too different from the current models. Probably just a speed (and maybe storage size) bump.

The next significantly different new models, at least for the iMac, will likely happen about March or April 2010.

And with a speed increase as appropriate, there is nothing wrong with the current Mac mini, especially with the dual video output ports (I hope that feature stays); it serves its purpose very well.

BRING IT!!!

"Subterranean Home Sick Blues" is one of the best.

Brian said that Mac users will inherit the earth. Maybe tomorrow is the day of judgement.

MacBooks first of all, redesigned and at a lower start price.
And maybe minis.

Look for something big from Apple this week. They has 3 more days to upstage Microsoft. New cheaper Macs to attract more people to the Applestores may be in the cards.

Bizlaw may never live this thread down

["Subterranean Home Sick Blues" is one of the best.]

Unless you like 'Subterranean Homesick Alien', better.


BTW, stealing a bit of MS's thunder is about due.

"Where I live tomorrow is Tuesday"

I live in the future. Tuesday was last week.

FYI, I think Bizlaw was being sarcastic. Geesh. Loosen up guys.

Nope. Not expecting new stuff. Processor bump (still dual core) at most. If it was a redesign, iI would expect it to have a separate event.

Apple's not going to try to upstage MS this week. They won't wallow in that mud ring. Next week, maybe the one after, but only with a pre-announcement if it is anything substantially different than current models. And if it doesn't happen next week, it won't happen before Christmas.

And two references in a database? If it were new iMacs and minis, there would be several models of each, so should be 4-8 references, not two. Shenanigans.

And for those still longing for the elusive headless iMac or (preferably) miniTower, I am 99.95% certain it won't happen unless it is at a pre-announced event (with teaser marketing).

So aside from the stock jump, expect a quiet news day from Apple.

The whole world does not operate on American time Here in China, tomorrow IS Tuesday because we are in the +8 tome zone and on the other side of the international date line :-p

I don't know why some still whine about blue ray. This is a yesterday tech. who needs all those discs taking space at home when one can use flash memory?
