He used it as an adjective so it doesn't refer to anyone in his usage. He seems to have used 'ghetto' in the same way some might use 'gaudy'. I read through all his posts containing the word ghetto and he didn't define it once. You seem to be reading things that aren't there. So again, how is someone thinking a product (that you didn't create) is ghetto offensive?
Got a tip for us?

Retina Apple Display in the works. Any chance of the next Mini supporting it?:

iPad Air 2 and iPad mini retina 2.

It should, but don't expect a high frame rate while gaming.
Last sentence. The ghetto people aren't the people of all colors, so who are they?
Let me break this down for everyone. I think the problem here is both in the OPs use of "ghetto" and in the respondant's interpretation of the OPs inference in using the term.
IMO, the OP used the term "ghetto" incorrectly. Referring to something as "ghetto" is typically referring to something that is in major disrepair or is a makeshift device attempting to simulate a more expensive device. For example, ghetto headphones would be if someone stitched two left earpieces from two non-working headphones together to make a working pair. Another example would be if someone spray painted a cheaper set of headphones and added the "Beats" logo on them to make them look authentic.
Beats headphones are not a priori ghetto. In fact, a new set of beats headphones may be called ghetto fabulous, but not ghetto themselves. Whether you think Beats headphones are overpriced for their quality is one thing, but in the strictest sense, they are not in themselves ghetto headphones.
Now comes the part where someone could be offended by the OPs incorrect use of "ghetto". From the context, the OP seems to think that Beats are ghetto because they are associated with a hip hop mogul, or perhaps, a black man. This ties the use of "ghetto" to african americans since there is nothing about the headphones themselves that would be considered ghetto in the correct usage of the word. If Beats had no association with a black man, would these be considered "ghetto"? Burberry has been generally popular as a haute couture item among african americans, but is burberry items considered ghetto? I would say not.
Therefore, I think we can conclude that the OP needs more precise diction so as not to seem ignorant or mistakenly (or not) reveal an underlying racist attitude. Also, we should conclude that people shouldn't get so butt-hurt when people online write posts that may seem racist without further clarity as to their implied meaning.
Good question! It almost certainly depends on whether you heated those O's on a Mac mini.
It would be nearly impossible to heat Spaghettios on my mini. It doesn't get enough!
Yes but since there may not be a new Mac mini on its way we have to talk about something. This thread long ago became the reason for this thread.
yes it must carry on . In a way I kind of hope for 5000 posts.
As I think when the new mini comes I am no longer sure I want one.
The fact that this is starting to go way off-topic is a sign that people might be starting to give up on the wait for a new Mini.
There are have been no rumors about the new Mac Mini and the time frame for a new model, at least this year, is nearing a close. Unless Apple has a Mac/OSX event planned in the next 2 to 4 weeks, I'd say a new Mac Mini this year isn't going to happen, even with the "Mid 2014 Mac Mini"..."leak"...

I think every possible thing about mac mini has been discussed in this topic. As previously said in this thread lack of rumors might be due to lack of interest in desktop macs as iphone 6 and watch is even more widely popular from now on.
We the people waiting for mini can be said to be a minor group of enthusiasts (with moderate budget) that apple doesnt care much about anymore.
I expect a silent update or a redesign with very small changes in details (like macbook/new macbook). And as i expect it to be released alongside with yosemite. I think it is ready but waiting for the release of yosemite. This scenario makes sense to me and if there is no new mini after yosemite i will stop waiting and find myself an alternative. Just hoping all this happens in october.
I forgot to get excited for this morning! Maybe further evidence that we are collectively losing hope? Hope not, but here goes:
Its Tuesday! The Apple store is not down yet but its still too early in CA!

The thing is, we usually get some news of lower inventory that resellers have a few weeks before a refresh and so far not even that. However you do have a good point about the iPhone 6 and Apple Watch.
I just hope that it doesn't go the soldered route, I prefer to buy with less RAM and a regular HDD and update myself later with more RAM and SSD. It's quite a bit cheaper than paying Apple's price for it.
If Apple is going to introduce new retina displays as rumored then new products including the new Mini will support them. If they are 5k as rumored then it will require the new display port hardware of 1.3 for bandwidth.
Another reason it maybe next year before we see a new Mini with Broadwell.
Also Skylake is already in software development and Techradar is reporting a late 2015 launch.

So it maybe too late for a Haswell Mini since it will be outdated when release for the October event.
Interesting article, makes me hope my iMac can last another year or year and half so I can wait for a Skylake equipped machine
actually my budget is not moderate. I could spend 5k if I want.
My problem is of the 3 choices .
iMac don't need the screen
MacPro only need 1 good video card
MacMini I have the latest model the 2012 quad.
I have no real need for a laptop or an iPad.
I am in my 50's and do not travel much.
I watch a lot of home theater play some video games.
The mini used to be a lot of fun for me Apple basically killed off the fun of it by a 23 month wait for a newer model.
Well, if they didn't charge so much for an SSD and RAM, I wouldn't need to buy it elsewhere. In Portugal it's 200€ for a 256GB SDD which I can get for 100€ and 300€ for 16GB of RAM which I can get for 145€. We're talking 255€ more. It's half of the minimum wage here in Portugal, and while I'm not on minimum wage, it's still a fat slice of my income :/
If it was only 50€ more for both I would still rant but I would buy it. If it was 100€ I would think hard about it. More than that, especially 255€ more...no way!
