This thread must be used by Cook and Ive as a personal therapy, when they felt depressed hastiated or just paid the taxes, they get in for a load of power and arrogance.
I'm sure they are much too busy reading the Wall Street Journal and Forbes.
The people that report to their people tell them in the *****r.
So I guess I got censored so I'll rephrase to the executive bathroom and it's good for a laugh.

We are on page 113, which is a prime number. Just sayin'
I see it ... I see Jeff Bezos, sitting at his computer. He's typing ... he shakes his head, even as he hits the Enter key - he must have mistyped something ... now he's peering at the search results page with a puzzled look on his face ... he is drawn to something there ... he is clicking on a link ... it's the link to the MacRumors Forum board ... he's reading something intently ... let me turn the crystal ball so I can see over his shoulder better ... he's reading the entire "The new Mac mini is almost certainly coming" thread from start to finish. So many expressions fleet across his face! Now he's laughing ... now he's frowning in concentration ... now he's falling asleep ... he's rolling his eyes ... he's sitting up straighter in his seat now. His eyes are looking up at the empty space above the screen ... no, I can tell, he's looking at an image in his mind ... everything is fading ...
Wait, it's coming back. I see Jeff again ... he's getting up ... closing his office door ... shutting the window blinds ... he's reaching into a drawer for something ... he puts his hands over his eyes and starts pacing back and forth ... my God, he's wearing Google Glass ... he's talking to someone and making drawing motions in the air ... wait ... no, everything is fading away again ...
I see a light, a bright light ... it's too bright, I can't make anything out ... now it's fading ... I see a square shape .. it's box ... I see Bezos, he's holding the box ... he's staring at it with a mixture of rapt adoration and evil glee ... what is it? He turns to me ... he's speaking directly to me! I can see his lips moving, but I can't hear anything ... now he's putting his hand up next to his head ... he's waving ... I hear him! He says ... "Apple doesn't want it any more. Apple doesn't love you any more. But I love you. I have heard your voices crying in the wilderness, and I have brought you ... the Amazon Prime Mini! You can stream content! You can watch Netflix! You can read the MF-ing website! Look, it's square and tiny! It has Mini right in the name! Buy it ... buy it now ... " he's thrusting the box at me ... the box is coming through the ball wall! It's flying toward me ... I caught it ... AAAARGHHH!!! IT BURNS! IT BURNS! GET IT OFF ME! Get it off me ...
What ... what happened? ... Did I faint? ... I must have passed out ... I had the weirdest dream, 2012 Mini ... and you were in it ... and you were in it too, monitor ... wow .. wait, where did that box come from? Was ... no, it couldn't be ... it's not possible ... Apple, help me! Save me! Don't let the Mini go Prime! Must....get...a non-prime number for last post ....

Unfortunately, 113 is the 30th prime, and 30 is not a prime. We have to wait until page 127 is reached, the 31st prime.
This whole wait and predictions are amusing to me since I want new models to come out so I can buy the current "server" model as a refurb for $100 less, $750.
High (and partly even mid) level gaming is the only thing the current HD4000 is failing to perform. Everything else the average consumer (= the biggest target group for the mini) needs is already covered.
HD5xxx may cover mid-level gaming as well, but still fails at high level.

Can we return this thread to more baseless speculation please?
Amazon is STILL out of stock on all current Minis. Surely this must mean something. Well then again it didn't on:
December 7, 2013
July 10, 2014
July 27, 2014
When I posted EXACTLY THE SAME THING.

I heard a rumor, from a credible source, that Amazon is almost certainly coming out with a prime mini, or a mini prime, sometime soon, probably in the middle of the night.
I'm betting that Apple is waiting to put Broadwell chips in the Mac mini, or it's waiting for the iPhone pre-orders day at Midnight like it did with the iPhone 4. We got a whole new redesign back then! Out of the blue!
You asked for it...
The new / redesigned Mac mini won't appear before (January) 2015, as this marks the 10 year anniversary of its introduction. To celebrate that, Apple will give it a thorough revamp, featuring [Insert preferred speculations on case design and technical specifications here].
So - sorry folks, no new Mac mini in 2014!
@docprego: Satisfied?
If Apple waits a little longer, all the original owners/buyers will have died of old age and nobody remembers what a Mac mini was..........
Perhaps its not coming anytime soon
If people cast their memories back to 2005 when the mini arrived. It was stated by some that it was a means of introducing people on a lower budget to the then wonderful world of Apple MacIntosh. It was the "gateway" item. But now? I bet the IPad, and IPhones are the gateway items. I don't think it will be dropped, but I think that its form factor will change radically. Meanwhile my G4 mac mini trundles on regardless.

Question: Let's say the refresh does come. And let's say it is, well, not what everyone was hoping for, for whatever reason.
Would there be some money to be made by investing in a few of the older models (purchased very quickly after the big announcement) and selling them on eBay??

Yes just like how jail breakable Apple TV2 sell for $300. I have no idea how fast or how large the jump would be but considering refurb/resell mini supply already seems low I'd imagine it would happen fairly quick.
