    Apple admitted today the direction of the cylindrical Mac Pro released in December 2013 turned out to be a major thermal mistake. The company admits, it just does not meet the needs for an important segment of professional customers; especially for those in cinematography and emerging...

    LG Ultrafine Deal Expires Tomorrow

    I had a glimmer of hope that they extended that offer to align with a Mac line announcement sometime in March. Maybe at least an updated iMac with USB-C if not the Mac Pro announcement we've all been waiting for. It appears I hoped in vain. I guess now I pin my fortunes on WWDC...

    It's like we're waiting for...

    It's like we're waiting for The Messiah or something. Seriously, why the heck is Apple taking so long to release a new freaking Mac Pro?? This situation is beyond ridiculous! Tim, just make it already. It's really not that hard. Hackintoshers do it all the time. But I want a real Mac Pro!
