I tend to agree... Apple seems to have started a transition away from the iBrand with the Apple Watch and maybe we will see that continue with a new Macintosh that replaces the iMac brand. If this turns out to be true, I wouldn't expect anything revolutionary about the new Macintosh in terms of capability (beyond a retina display) however it could signal an entirely new cosmetic or design style (black?!).
I personally don't think this event has anything to do with the Mac Mini despite it having been a very long time since the last refresh.
Do you know the real joke behind that Monty Python gag ? Everyone knew the Spanish Inquisition was coming as they sent you a letter 1 month in advance to say they would be investigating.
I did not see this coming. It seems there is a growing consensus that there may be a possibility of a new line of computers, leaning BACK towards a more classic type of desktop computer. I find this highly intriguing.
As long as it is small, SILENT and FAST, I got no problems
Oh yeah, and cheap would be good too. But we know that ain't gonna happen!
Still, I am greatly intrigued.

Apple TV + iMac = 42"/50" Apple TV
Long time coming?
Or it could be the Minis....

I will b super stoked if Apple actually brings back the Cube...
I don't actually care what the new Macintosh looks like, just as long as it's got half a dozen NuBus slots.
Just wanted to add to your about the transition away from the iBrand, besides the new product not having the i (Apple Watch instead of iWatch), there another new thing introduced at the last keynote (a service not a product): Apple Pay and not iPay
Maybe Apple will reborn the full Macintosh name as brand, so we will be forced to name our Mac by its formal name again, Macintosh Professional, Macintosh miniature, Macintosh Book, Macintosh Book Air, Macintosh Book Professional, and of course the Ive Macintosh (aka iMac) 
Thanks the retina moniker isn't now part of the name.

Right. I suspect that Apple wants to really differentiate its new products going forward so these changes make sense.
I wonder if the next iPhone might be simply the "Apple Phone" but there is so much invested in the iPhone that maybe it will stick around longer.
iPay Technologies was founded in 2001, and was acquired Jack Henry & Associates Inc (market cap $4.4bn) for $300m in 2010. I guess 2010 would have been the time to go after the name!the transition away from the iBrand Apple Pay and not iPay
According to the Mac Rumors front page, "..updated Mac minis, which are rumored to be in the works, might possibly see an announcement at the event." So, a mini update might possibly be almost certain!
Of course, there are several products that never had iBranding. We're talking about possibly phasing it out on those products that did.
That's it, the nMM will be in the shape of, to quote the song, "Yippie ay eh, Cow Patty."
Are there any mini fans around where the announcement is? Please take banners and t-shirts proclaiming your support and gratitude.
You'll either get one of the first new ones, or eternal fame. #
I disagree. The joke is that an organization that petered out in the 16th century suddenly appears in the present day. The phrase, "I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition," is uttered as a metaphor, but then then the Inquisition (not "a kind of," but literally the Spanish Inquisition) shows up. Nobody expects it, indeed. That's funny. (Their silly behavior after they have arrived is, to my mind, a different joke.)
back to the Mini: I don't see how "it's been way too long" can be referring to a Mini. Hopefully we'll get new Minis at the event anyway.
Give the rack a turn!
Sorry chaps, but I predict no mini update at the event. Intel's chip delay pushes the refresh into 2015. Go get some Xanax now from your doctor, so you don't blow a gasket when there is no update.
ps - Long live the Mini!
