Mac Mini to be revamped as media machine?

This sounds like a cool future for the Mac Mini if it ever comes to pass …
In an effort to appease media companies wary of the security of digital rights management technology, Apple’s new technology will deliver content such that it never actually resides on the user’s hard drive. Content purchased will be automatically made available on a user’s iDisk, which Front Row 2.0 will tap into. When the user wishes to play the content, robust caching technology Apple previously received a patent for will serve it to the users computer as fast as their Internet connection can handle.
My wife was taken by the Mac Mini the first time she saw it: “Ooo, that’s cute.” She wanted one. Then later she changed her mind and said she didn’t want one. When I asked her why, she couldn’t really give me a sensible reason. Maybe I just haven’t figured out the right way to ask the question?
