'Upgraded' Apple iMacs lock out hard drive replacement

A different bit of history is probably more relevant.

You DO remember, don't you that late last fall the same blog made virtually the same complaint about Apple's new SSD drives and the connectors they used. Just weeks later, Samsung announced the same type drives in a wider range of capacities for the general market, and they are now using them in their own laptop line. Other manufacturers will surely follow if they haven't already, because the drives are phenomenal.

I suspect that history is about to repeat itself with these new HDDs.

Apple Mac Mini 2010

Still two processor configurations

I don't see how going from 2.26 or 2.53 GHz on the old Mini to 2.4 or 2.66 GHz on the new mini is "downgrading the processor".

I think that you may have been misled by the way the Apple store reorganized its models and customization options. Instead of having base models organized by processor speed, there now are just the base desktop and server models which can be customized on processor, memory and storage. There are still as many configurations as before, and none of them are downgrades.
