If you haven't seen them by now, the new Mac Mini's look AMAZING!  So thin, so sleek and very sexy.  Apple somehow managed to fit all of the necessary components into something that is half as wide as it was. Small and medium sized businesses love these machines because they are affordable, work horses and again, they just look awesome.  The only problem is that the are not easy to lock down or put in a rack mount environment.  That is where Macessity comes in with a great line of products.

According to a CNNMoney article, American's love their computers but prefer Apple's Mac platform to Windows PC. An American Customer Satisfaction Index shows that out of 100, PC score a rating of 78, up 3 points from last year. Apple's rating is 86, up 2 points from last year.

For $999 of course. Apple announced the 27" Cinema Display a while back, but they finally took their place in the store today. Boasting a giant screen, with 2560x1440 resolution, LED backlighting for instant-on brightness and 178-degree viewing angle, this monitor would look great sitting on your desk. I like the new LED displays because they come with MagSafe power adapters for laptops, so you only need to plug one item into the wall, and then feed the cables from the screen to your laptop. I don't like the new 27" Cinema Display because it is...
