Mac Mini Inside an Apple Disk II Case

Thirty years ago, it would have been obscene to think a PC could fit into a case the size of the Apple II’s floppy drive. Now Charles Mangin’s Mac Mini lives in one. I was just reading about the development of the Disk II. Randy Wigginton and Woz worked on it for a few weeks,…

No. https://gizmodo.com/google-sets-price-cap-for-paid-android-apps-5154661 Network World says ‘I Am Richer‘ is essentially identical to the iPhone app, except it has a blue diamond,…

Microsoft Firees Can Keep All Their Severance Pay

Microsoft watcher Ina Fried reports that the company won’t be taking back severance “overpayments”, even though it confirmed it did ask for them initially.

iPhoto May Use Future iPhone GPS Functionality To Geotag With Any Camera

None of this is available now, but a resource screen found in iPhoto ’09 shows some interesting possible-future technology that may let you geotag your photos even if the camera didn’t have a GPS module.

The Dell Mini 10, the Mini 9’s successor, which is due to start shipping later this week will come with a “fixed” 1GB of RAM, meaning, it won’t be upgradable according to Dell. Does this mean that the RAM is soldered in, or fixed on the motherboard? Anyways, it’s probably a result of the netbook…
