I love my girlfriend.

Apple announed two new things today worth noting. A boombox that doubles as a gigantic ipod dock, and the intel mac mini.

I don't really see where the iPodHiFi fits into theh apple home, but the mac mini looks great. I'd get one if I didn't already have an iBook. Its very media-centerish with the dvi out, optical, wifi and 4 usb ports. Oddly enough the only compitition I can think of for the mac mini is the xbox 360. Well, that is, as a media center computer. I guess the mac mini still makes a great entry level desktop. But for the price of an xbox 360 bundle, which comes with games and a 20 gig HD you could get the mac mini with osx and all the goodies included in the OS. But thats it. You have to provide the input (ok, it comes with a remote) devices and display.

I just got a new TV last weekend, upgrading from my non widescreen hdtv. My how the tables have turned. I used to be 100% Computer, and now I'm ready to just spend all my time vegging out infront of a TV with a console. Hooray for high resolution TVs.

Its too bad its all so expensive!
