I think that's a great call. Defender and a little common sense is all that's needed. You can always use virustotal if your unsure of a particular file.

Apple is courageous so HDMI is toast IMO. The 2016 Mini will contain one single USB-C port for external display, power cord, wired keyboard, wired mouse, wired networking. However I am in two minds as to whether they might give us a lightning port to allow us to plug our Apple approved headphones into.
In other words, it'll be even worse than the retina Macbook!
A very good question - it should.
But another solution would be to sell an adaptor for this beast.
Apple have moved their quarterly earnings from 10/27 to 10/25 due to a "scheduling conflict". Would they really push the earnings call back for the release of the new Mini?
I'll be a little surprised if they have an earnings call before they announce any new Macs - I'm sure it's something investors would want to discuss with them. Naturally then, my next question would be why push it back in the first place in the event new Macs are released on the Monday? What's wrong with an extra couple of days?
I'm surprised there hasn't yet been any tangible leaks about any kind of upcoming product announcement event for this month. Either Apple are getting good at remaining tight lipped or we are just creating a large amount of expectation out of nowhere and no Macs are actually being updated before the end of the year. A lot of people will be disappointed if that's the case

Macs are announced before the earnings call. Macs are released on the Friday after, but need the Thursday before to prep for it.

Perhaps the reason there have been no leaks, is because they haven't been working on anything.
Then again, it's probably something they don't want to discuss with the investors.
Apple to investors: "so... our 3 year old machines have still been selling at the highest prices in the industry. We see no reason to waste money designing new products, because our logo is enough to keep customers buying. We have no plans to begin working on anything until we are unable to sell any of our older machines."
Investors to Apple: "so, we'll be receiving higher than usual payouts since no money has been reinvested into R&D???"
Apple: "no... Tim got a larger bonus. So all money has been spent."
I was talking to "Siri" last night after watching some Netflix and I asked her if Zombies defecate.
She said she couldn't answer that question.
The New Mac Mini is almost certainly coming.

If zombies show up then it's safe to say that the Mac Mini WON'T be coming.

Ask siri "about the mac mini is it dead yet?" goes right along with the Halloween theme.
Mean while my lenovo m700 tiny is working well.
Yeah I did but like most of her answers she don't know SH*T.
Glade to hear your tiny is working out for you.
No Tim Cook just has an appointment with his barber. The guy always looks immaculate like he gets a haircut every day.
I have looked into my crystal ball and I for see AMD chips coming to some Apple computers.

I have a feeling this thread will reach 500 pages before we see a new Mini.
There has already been one new Mac Mini since this page started. There may, or may not be 500 pages before the next one, but new iterations of the Mac Mini will almost certainly keep coming.
Apple will be sending out the invites from the October event within the next week or so.
I fear that the Mini will become the "headphone jack" of Apple's computer line. Something that they do away with in spite of user protests.
We're now 24 hours closer to seeing the new Mac Minis unveiled than we were only one day ago! Exciting times to be a Mini owner.
OMG this has the ring of truth! Is it really possible that we are 24 hours closer to a new mini?
