- No you don't get a say in the matter. You will want what you have been told to want.
iOS 7 is just nasty. Must remember to update my iPad to iOS 6 at some point before 7 comes out.
The new Mac Pro Mini is interesting; the world's first high-end workstation that requires a desktop dock. (Available 5¼" drive bays: Zero. Available 3½" drive bays: Zero. Available 2½" drive bays: Zero. Available PCIe slots: Zero.) Up to 12 cores and 64GB RAM, which is exactly the same as the previous model. On the other hand, it's small and looks like an ashtray.
There's a lot of fuss going on about the Mac Pro Mini. If Apple had released it as a new product alongside a lightly updated (socket 2011) full-size Mac Pro, everyone would be ecstatic. But no.
Update: A choice quote from Ars Technica:
Ask any Mac Pro users where "small size†sits on their list of workstation needs and they will tell you it's down at the bottom, squarely between "should make my bed in the morning†and "covered in fur.â€

I just took a look at the Mac Pro. What a weird design. At Ars Technica they describe it is a PC designed for Darth Vader, and started referring to it as the "Vader Pro".
