The death rattle in the Mac Mini's throat
Boing Boing Gadgets —
... again—the Mac Mini may be dead dead DEAD for real, even while you can still order it at the Apple Store.
I never bought one — for some reason, it being Apple's cheapest Mac somehow made it seem more over-expensive, not less — but this is still something of a shame, if only because I still think the form factor is gorgeous. And if I were sticking with an Apple only house, I'd still pick the Mac Mini as a theater PC over the Apple TV.

MacMagazine —
Fontes do Gizmodo afirmam que o Mac mini pode ter sido descontinuado (EOL’d) pela Apple. De acordo com redes varejistas européias, a Maçã teria lhes informado para não esperarem novas entregas de pedidos do Mac mais barato da sua linha de computadores.

Obligatory MacMini RIP Rumor post
Coolest Gadgets —
The Giz, citing MacRumors, is convinced that Apple is going to discontinue the Mac Mini and that it’s demise is imminent. The argument goes like this:
According to European retailers, Apple has stopped orders for the low end Mac and will not be making any more. This could signal an upgraded model which will replace it, or a complete discontinuation. But the rumors of the Mac Mini’s imminent demise are about as common as hearing clues that “Paul is Dead” when playing a host of Beatles’ songs.

Rumor: Apple para de fabricar/vender/enviar los Mac Mini (¿descanse en paz?)
Gizmología —
... echo es el siguiente, ya no se necesitan ordenadores que los enchufes y se queden ahí quietos, los portátiles son los reyes de las ventas, no es necesario más que coger cualquier portátil (hasta un netbook) y conectarlo a una pantalla para ver que ya no necesitarás jamás un ordenador de sobremesa.
