Intel knocks off Mini
[link|http://news.com.com/Intel+shows+off+Mac+Mini-like+concept+PC/2100-1041_3-5596629.html?tag=nefd.ac|http://news.com.com/....html?tag=nefd.ac]
Intel on Wednesday showed off its living room PC of the future--and it looks a lot like the Mac Mini.
As part of a speech at the Intel Developer Forum here, Vice President Don MacDonald demonstrated several concept PCs, including the Sleek Concept Entertainment PC--a square, metallic-colored device that was immediately reminiscent of the desktop computer Apple Computer introduced earlier this year.
It's unlikely that Intel itself would build such a device. The chipmaker often uses its twice-yearly developer events to try to spur creativity among computer makers.
----
Given Dell's "Innovation is for suckers" philosophy, I wouldn't expect to see such at thing actually materialize.
"Whenever you find you are on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect" --Mark Twain
"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." --Albert Einstein
"This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mental losses." --George W. Bush

Re: Intel knocks off Mini
The funny thing, is, all Intel was showing off was the box. There were no guts inside.

and we won't because...
it would over heat or require another box the same size to cool it...

Worse than that.

A more realistic design:

No Minis were harmed in the taking of this photo. Humiliated, yes. Injured, no.

I think the heatsink is a little small.
<C.M. Burns>Excellent!</C.M. Burns>
It probably needes the "Designed for Windows98" "Designed for WindowsMe" "Designed for Windows 2000" "Designed for Windows XP Home" "Designed for Windows XP Professional" "Designed for Windows 2003 DataCenter" ... stickers too though.
:-)
Very nice! You should send that to The Register or The Inquirer (you might want to find a mirror for it first though).
Cheers,
Scott.
