WIRED wrong?

In this article about MacWorld in general, iPod and Mac mini, WIRED's Leander Kahney says that while the iPod shuffle is clearly a success, there are voices about the Mac mini which put it down as 'another Cube', which was a 'huge mistake'. I think Leander (or the cited MacWorld visitor) is wrong here, since... Let's just think for a moment what was bad about the Cube, shall we?
The Cube was not bad in fact. It was its price. Read anything about the Cube, or just think about it for a moment... It wasn't really the Cube's fault. ;) It was clearly its price. Had the Cube been priced at 799 or 699 USD back then, we'd see Cubes all over the place now. So, in my opinion, WIRED's wrong here. Okay. Leander Kahney is wrong. Or rather Kevin Krank, head of the service department at Texas A&M University at Corpus Christi, who said "he wasn't impressed with the Mac mini".

Apple's new Tiger tour

You'll find it here. Shows you the new look of Tiger, which has obviously changed again. The menubar still has the new look, but the Apple logo and Spotlight logo are different.
