Welcome to News of the Weird, where I dig up preposterous rumors, insane news stories, odd applications, and other somewhat off-kilter goodies floating around the Mac universe. Join me, if you will, as we explore the lunatic fringe together.

In this installment, we look into a hallucination--er, rumor posted on server213.com: ”Apple to release G5 Mac mini:”

However, this so-called G5 Mac Mini may not be a “Mac mini” after all.  The unit will be designed differently, leading to a suggestion that the Mac Mini was a one shot deal to test the waters.

Look for the “G5 Mac Mini” to be the dumping ground for single processor G5’s.  Release date will be after Christmas 2005, perhaps at the 2006 Macworld Expo in San Francisco.

Uh huh. Yeah. I don’t know what the person who wrote that was smoking and have no desire to find out.
