A nice "day-after" summary of Apple's latest product announcements. People are yelping about the new Mac minis having integrated video, but if that integrated video can really handle playback of HD material, then Apple has a shot of turning the mini into a nice, relatively cheap frontend.
I particularly liked the comments about the new iPod HiFi, particularly after Jobs's comments that he is an audiophile and that he is getting rid of his stereo. What a huckster. Anyhow, another audiophile says that the iPod HiFi could actually be capable of good-sounding playback... "in which case it'd be a complete waste to play your average iTunes-store-sourced lo-rez lossy-compressed MP3 through it." Right on. I was listening to my iTunes-store-sourced version of "Baba O'Riley" yesterday and man, those cymbals were swooshing all over the place. Sounded bad.
