Apparently the Mac Mini can also use 8GB of RAM http://blog.macsales.com/2585-still-in-testing-bu...

I think this is smart. Instant IT for small biz at a small price.

Jamie, you're spot on with the perception argument. However, Steve has it on Fox News' general availability and scope of their reporting. I'm not in the media, mercifully ;-), but when the war was hot and heavy it seemed like Fox News did a better job of presenting the story. Ms Amanpour is terrific on camera, love her voice and delivery, but her bias was blatant. I've been to Iraq a few times. I no longer trust any of the media's coverage of events there (not even FNC) because it's impossible to cover the story. It's too vast, too complicated. Nothing on the PRTs in Afghanistan (the veritable pointy-tip of the spear for COIN) since a story by Geraldo Rivera 2 years ago. I say nothing, there probably have been stories, but their story isn't getting out there for the people to see.

This is all "inside baseball" for most us to read about. I'd just like to see stories done in context of strategy and how operations are stacking up to achieve goals. And yes, we have them. Gen McChrystal is pretty damn specific about COIN.

Regardless, I really appreciate you for showing both sides. You are an honorable gentleman. I follow you because of Jim Long and your willingness to work with him in the past (he is a hidden gem in the media).
