Mac Mini 2010 Update Unveiled! Price in Philippines, Specs, Press Release

What Im reading:

Apple recently unveiled a completely redesigned Mac mini desktop computer, featuring more powerful graphics processor, a new HDMI port and a new SD card slot, all in an amazingly compact aluminum enclosure. Mac mini is the world’s most energy efficient desktop and starting at P38,990, is the most affordable way to enjoy Mac OS X, iLife or Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server. Mac mini is a good choice ...
And this:
digg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/Mac_mini_mid_2010_review_Engadget'; The Mac mini has long been the oddball child of the Mac family: it's the only consumer-level machine from Apple that isn't a fully-integrated experience, and it's the only Mac to have had a sub-$1,000 sticker price in some time. But people love this little weirdo, and they love to do weirdly awesome ...
As well as:
Apple’s Mac mini was always the compact computer with a few frustrations. Perfectly scaled for doing duty as your HTPC, the absence of a native HDMI port meant hooking the Mac mini up in your living room was never quite as easy as we’d like to expect from Apple. Now, with a slick unibody refresh, more media-friendly specs and a reworked I/O selection, the new Mac mini looks set to take on SFF ... original. Visit byeooeygr00

Chris Matthews Defends Domestic Terrorists While Smearing Americans As Dangerous Radicals Paul Joseph Watson www.prisonplanet.com www.prisonplanet.tv Monday, June 14, 2010 Chris Matthews will this week smear millions of politically active Americans as dangerous and violent radicals when he hosts the MSNBC special, %26ampquot;The Rise of the New Right.%26ampquot; However, when terrorist bomber, leader of an organization that wanted to kill 25 million Americans, and the man who helped launch Barack Obama's political career, Bill Ayers appeared on Matthews' show, all he got was softball questions and platitudes. As we reported last week, after obtaining a leaked transcript of the program which will air this Wednesday at 7pm ET from a concerned MSNBC staffer, it became clear that the show's producers had gone back on their word to make a fair and balanced biography of the growing influence of the anti-big government movement, and in fact had resorted to exercising the same tired old cliches about how anyone who criticizes the federal government is a dangerous radical neo-nazi racist who probably wants to kill people. MSNBC's Matthews has made a habit out of portraying Tea Party members, second amendment activists and anyone who is concerned about the growth in government as part of a new frontier of violent extremism. However, Matthews' agenda-driven bias against conservative grass roots activists is exposed by a simple comparison of how the MSNBC host characterizes Tea Partiers as violent %26amplt;b%26ampgt;...%26amplt;/b%26ampgt;Paul Watson Details MSNBC's Chris Matthews %26ampquot;Hypocrisy%26ampquot; on Alex Jones Tv 2/4

Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead - Takistan Army Deployed!

Came upon this today:
Second video from the planned series of updates presenting the factions in Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead is introducing the Takistani Army. Takistani Army is equipped with a mixture of Cold-War-era equipment of both Eastern and Western bloc origin, supplied during the interregnum of 1988-91. Local or supreme warlords command and control military manpower across local tribal forces. Several main factions control military vehicles and aircraft either stolen from or supplied by the Soviets; however, their numbers and capabilities are limited. Armed with FN FALs, AKS-74s rifles, PKMs and other personal weapons, soldiers usually wear distinct steel helmets and khaki or lizard-patterned uniforms; special military police forces also wear black turbans. The Takistan army chiefly employs Soviet Cold-War era vehicles: T-34, T-55 and T-72 tanks, BRDM-2 personnel carriers, UAZ cars and V3S trucks. Military vehicles are painted in irregular amorphous-shaped fields of desert yellow and dark green. The Takistani Air Force uses the Mi-24D helicopter gunships, L-39ZA light attack aircraft and Mi-8 transport helicopters. The close air support role is provided by type Su-25 aircraft. Special weapons regiments are known to exist, which can deploy a stockpile of SS-1c Scud-B missiles. It is also believed that secret weapons development programmes have sought to produce and procure chemical WMDs, as a result of Soviet-backed schemes aimed at maximizing regional influence.
