Apple Mac Pro
As always, there's a mess of rumors out on the internet preceding the big Apple event in which the Cupertino giant said in the invitations that it still has "a lot to cover." And a lot of rumors - like rumors tend to be - are way overblown. Here's what to actually expect from the Oct. 22 Apple Event.
When Apple announced its new line of products at the World Wide Developers Conference Keynote Monday, developers and tech reporters had a lot of new information to sort through. Now that there's been some time for reflection on what was said, what was understated, and what wasn't said at all, there are a few unexpected consequences, intended by Apple or not, that appear to be emerging from the post-keynote fog. And some of these unforeseen outcomes may affect the jailbreaking community, cellular carriers, high-tech professionals, and Apple's future alike.
When Apple's Phil Schiller introduced the new Mac Pro at WWDC Monday, the crowd was enraptured. Twice the processing power, twice the graphics processors, twice the I/O speed, twice the everything - and all in a sleek looking black cylinder. Then he showed the new Mac Pro next to the older model, last updated in 2010. It looked a tenth the size, and there were audible gasps in the audience.
