Apple ships 1.5GHz Mac minis?

Apple has apparently begun shipping Mac minis with 1.5GHz G4 processors. Customers who recently ordered the top-of-the-line 1.42GHz model instead received the updated machine. Users claiming to have received 1.5GHz machines indicate that it ships with a 64MB Radeon 9200 video card and an 8x SuperDrive. If Apple has indeed transitioned to 1.5GHz chips for its high-end Mac mini, it would end weeks of speculation about a quiet rollout. Apple has not updated its Mac mini literature, nor has it updated the Apple Store to reflect any changes to the Mac mini lineup.

Some of you are really missing the humor. Maybe you're unaware of where those messages are "coming" from.

Scroll down to Mac mini, note the release month and interestingly the OS X build number.
