(and cheaper mac pro?) http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=177119&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:47:58 GMT I am maybe considering buying a 30" or 24" display for my macbook pro. What does everyone think about apple releasing any new displays? Should I buy now or hold off for new, larger monitors to be released?

Also does anyone think apple will release a newer, cheaper mac pro any time soon?

It looks like a marketing stunt but IMHO it's the slickest Tablet mockup I've seen so far). It looks pretty convincing looking at the interface, though.

Apple won a sweeping legal victory against Macintosh clone maker Psystar Corp. Nov. 13 when a federal judge in San Francisco ruled (PDF, courtesy of Groklaw) that Psystar had violated Apple’s copyright and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

The first worm to infect the Apple iPhone has been discovered spreading "in the wild" in Australia.

The self-propagating program changes the phone's wallpaper to a picture of 80s singer Rick Astley with the message "ikee is never going to give you up".

The worm, known as ikee, only affects "jail-broken" phones, where a user has removed Apple's protection mechanisms to allow the phone to run any software.

Experts say the worm is not harmful but more malicious variants could follow.
