"iMac Styled" Mac Pro?
So I was contemplating the Mac line up of computers and noticed how the "Pro" models are metal and the consumer models are plastic. The new 24" iMac can have 3 GB RAM, 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo, 750 GB HD, 256 MB VRAM, and obviously, a 24" screen. If you ask me, that sounds like a computer that a Pro would have. Will Apple eventually release a metal "iMac Pro"? Could it replace the Mac Pro and force the "Mac tower" into extinction? Probably not. But I was just giving you something to chew on.

The History of Apple Inc.
This is a paper I wrote for school and I thought you guys might enjoy it.
Apple Inc. was founded on April 1st, 1976, in Cupertino, California by Steve Jobs, Ronald Wayne, and Steve Wozniak. Apple started as a small company in which Steve Jobs would build microcomputers out of his parent’s garage. The company now makes an annual net income of $1,730,000,000. In Apple’s early years, only computers were produced, but in the early 1990s’, they entered the consumer electronics business.
Apple was one of the first companies to integrate a GUI (graphical user interface) into their computers by releasing the Apple II in 1977. Due to the Apple II, Apple became a market leader. Then in May 1980, Apple released the Apple III and struggled to stay on top even with tough competition from Microsoft and IBM. Then in 1983, the Apple Lisa was released, however it failed miserably due to its high price, $9,995. Finally, on January 24, 1984, the Macintosh was born along with the Macintosh operating system. In 1989, Apple entered the portable computer market by releasing the Macintosh Portable. And entered the consumer electronics market in 1993 by releasing the Apple Newton PDA, and later, the QuickTake digial camera (1997),the iPod(2001), the AppleTV(2007), and the iPhone(2007). All of these products convinced Apple Computers Inc. to change its name to Apple Inc. In 1997, Apple purchased a rival company, NeXT, also founded by Steve Jobs after he left Apple in the mid-1980s’ and reincorporated him into the company. Currently, Steve Jobs is the CEO and on the Board of Directors along with Former US Vice President Al Gore and other executives. Apple then opened an online store at www.apple.com. Then in 1998, Apple released the iMac, designed by Jonathan Ive, which revolutionized the computer industry by adding form to function. After that, in 2001, Apple opened retail stores across the world, and currently has 170 locations. Also, at that time, Apple released the iPod, which revolutionized the portable music industry, and Mac OS X, which is still the most advanced operating system on the market, until Apple releases Mac OS X Leopard in Summer 2007. Soon After the release of the iPod, The iTunes Music Store opened, which allows iPod users to download music from the internet at just $.99 per song. Over 2,000,000,000 songs have currently been downloaded from iTunes. In 2006, Apple switched from the outdated PowerPC processors to Intel’s Core Duo chips. These new processors allowed the Macintosh computers to natively run Windows, which gave Apple a large advantage over Microsoft. From all of these high-tech products being released, Apple’s stock went from $6 in 2003 to $98 in 2007.
Apple has always been one step ahead of its competitors by emphasizing innovation and staying on the cutting edge of technology.

New NVIDIA 128-Core Video Card (for Mac Pro?)
NVIDIA has released plans for a new GPU that has the equivalent of 128 1.35 GHZ processors. This processor is designed to carry the burden of processing general purpose applications, so it will be used as a secondary CPU. So if you have the equivalent of over 128 cores in your computer, you will be able to run much more sophisticated tasks, which opens a large window of opportunity for software makers(like Apple). This card, however, will run you a few grand. Will you see it anytime soon in Mac Pros? Probably not. I'd give it a year or two.

It's OK to Take Your Macbook Pro to a Drug Deal
Most of you out there have iPods or Macbooks, or other shiny Apple gadgets, and generalize that Apple products are less durable than even their Chinese fakes. Its just not true. Check out this picture of a Macbook Pro being shot in a "transaction" gone wrong in Brazil. This is one thing that a laptop case can't help you with.
AppleTV Will be Late
Some of you may have heard the rumor that the AppleTV would arrive late, then on time, and now it has been confirmed that it will be late. No word on what the problem is, but maybe they thought they had enough time to add another feature, but were mistaken. I can dream, can't I?
