CNET Live will be undergoing a metamorphosis after the June 11 show. Thursday June 18 is Buzz Out Loud's 1,000th episode, and the following week launches a much bigger CNET Live. Instead of a weekly half-hour show, CNET Live will become a portal for all our live CNET offerings. Buzz Out Loud, MP3 Insider, Dialed In, Gadgettes, The 404, and more will all be available from the new CNET Live pages. Expect us to take more calls in these shows and answer your questions every day instead of just on Thursdays. The bad news is that June 11 will be the last day of the CNET Live show. So be sure to watch that show, and then after June 18 get ready for a show every day almost every hour. CNET Live the half hour may be going away, but you're going to get a whole lot more in its place. So we will see you one last time next Thursday, 4 p.m. Eastern, 1 p.m. Pacific, 10 a.m. Hawaiian.

For the guy who was looking to install OSX on a mini 9. I've done it and tbh in terms of OSX on netbooks they mini 9 is the most supported and the MSI wind is probably second. I've done this and used the forums on www.mydellmini.com. They have guides and fixes for anything, but most stuff works out of the box.
I have to say you will definately want to upgrade to a larger SSD atleast 16gb and I recommend a RunCore one which is faster than the ones dell supply. Also definately 2GB RAM but everything else works fine including bluetooth. I personally changed to a wireless n card (Dell 1510) also OSX compatible and doesnt give off as much heat as the other OSX 802.11n cards.
Performance is good enough to surf the web and word processing. youtube / video streaming can occasionally be choppy in safari but firefox works fine.
Hope this helps.
