I have an Apple Store question. Work is looking to buy a Mini, but I want to max out the RAM. Is that something I can buy at a local Apple Store? With the RAM already in it? They are not answering the phone, and I'd hate to drive all the way down there, just to order it online.
I'd guess the ones in the Apple stores come with whatever amount of RAM is standard, and if you wanted more RAM, they'd probably tell you that you'd have to come back for it after they put it in.
IOW, ordering online is probably easiest, although getting extra RAM from Apple is way too expensive. It's much cheaper to get the CPU with whatever amount of RAM is standard, and then order the RAM from newegg or someplace and install it yourself.
Unless (1) your work needs it ASAP, or (b) the Mini is one of the models that the owner isn't supposed to open up to install RAM (i.e., it voids the warranty).
The last I looked, the Mini is a royal PITA to open up & install RAM.
The first generation Mini was simple, but IIRC they made it a lot more complex?
If that's the case, then I'd order the Mini online and cough up the dough to have the max. amount of RAM installed.
Ask the Apple people to max out the ram. If you open it you void the warranty.
Does anyone have any idea why every time I click on a link to a YouTube video, I get "This video is no longer available" message? It can't be that the video really is no longer available, because no one else is complaining that they can't see the thing.
I get that sometimes. usually if i reload, it works. i have no clue why it happens though.

I did a bit of searching and you're not alone with the issue. Some recommendations other people have made are:
1. refresh browser
2. stop or uninstall Google Web Accelerator
3. install latest Flash player
4. add &fmt=18 to the end of the youtube url string
Anyone know how I can get Gmail to stop bugging me about the new Tasks feature?
Bugging you as in "check out this feature," or are you asking how to turn Tasks off?
For the first, I dunno, but for the second: on the Settings page, at the top, click on Labs, then scroll down to Tasks and click on Disable, then click on Save Changes.
