Ya, I saw that earlier and thought, what kind of mac N00b would want to do that and take away the Mac Mini's Beauty?

 

I liked the Millenium Falcon idea. It's not that bad-looking.

 

i really dislike that page. the suggestions are impractical, and not that interesting to the average user to whom the mini was originally targetted. the low quality of the imagery also damages the apple brand.

it's off strategy - poor branding and marketing. i'd be surpised it stays on the site for long.

 

Oh everybody RELAX. It's not like Apple is selling Millennium Falcon Mac mini (yet). I think that the point of the page is that the Mini's form factor and quietness is giving rise to using a computer in ways that are unusual -- and that this usage is NOT being intended by Apple originally. In other words, it's grass roots!

Here's another unique challenge that was filled by Apple Computers -- but not by Apple, themselves: for all of the graphical displays used on the bridge set of Star Trek Voyager and the Enterprise series, they use fourteen G4 Cubes! They were stuffed all over the insides of the set, running Flash animations for the controls. Mike Okuda, a Star Trek production guy, figured to do that. Noisy towers with fans wouldn't have done the job.

It's a harmless little page. Chill y'all.

 

I just think it's innovation and Apple is all about innovation.

I agree 100%. If you can't have fun with your own identity/brand/product, then you're taking yourself way too seriously. Apple knows that it's bread and butter is fanboy love, and fanboys love to tinker.

Yeah, I saw that a while ago, and I thought, "Fun!"
Who doesn't like fun?!

 

Some inventive uses for a Mac computer - cool.
