i haven't heard any Cube rumors...

that thing was ahead of it's time, though. I'm sure Steve and co. were disappointed that it didn't sell well. Maybe they'll give it another shot?

If they're gonna "kill off" the Mini, it will likely be a form factor change+hardware upgrades rather than getting rid of the entire line of consumer "towers". That's the kind of computer I would get for my parents, since they already have all their peripherals.
