It looks more and more like everything that I Cringely has been saying about apple launching an on-line video service has been true - and the imac mini will be the livingroom entertainment hub.

Quiet. Small. Good looking. Powerful.

Everything you would want in a piece of computer hardware were you to put it in your living room.

I've been toying with the idea of building myself a sleek small sexy little computer for the livingroom... but if the price is right maybe the mini will be the way to go.

Then again - not likely. I am very much more likely to want to build a system of my own - even though the thought of getting something off the shelf is appealing.

But, it doesn't matter what i'll do. Its what all other consumers will do... and THEY will buy mac minis
