Selected MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models are currently available with some considerable savings from U.S. retailer Best Buy. With up to $375 knocked off of prices, the retailer is apparently trying to clear stock to make room for Apple's recently released product updates.
When it comes to deciding which social network to use consistently on a daily basis, I have to say that Twitter annihilates Facebook every day of the week for me. Although I initially jumped on the Facebook bandwagon during the early days and still hold an active account to date, it is something I use sparingly, as day to day activities of people I used to know during my school days quite frankly bores me. Twitter on the other hand allows me to connect with people who have the same interests as me from all over the world, allowing knowledge to be shared and consumed, so anything that can provide quick access to the micro-blogging service can only be a good thing.
Apple certainly delivered the goods at WWDC, and although most were pleased with iOS 6, Mountain Lion, and the hardware upgrades across the board, the introduction of the new "next-gen" MacBook Pro with Retina display was certainly a sight for sore eyes.
The limelight during yesterday's WWDC keynote was hogged almost entirely by the MacBook range, in particular, the brand-new, Retina display MacBook Pro. With the four-year wait for Mac Pro enhancements bringing only incremental improvements at best, you could have been forgiven that Apple was distancing itself from the desktop in favor of the notebook.
Having wowed the crowds with the introduction of the next-gen MacBook Pro, Apple's Craig Federighi began unveiling some brand-new features of the forthcoming iteration of OS X, known as Mountain Lion. As well as reiterating what's already been showcased in the Mountain Lion Preview, he also gave an in-depth look into some of the new apps and features Apple has been working on over the past few months, in anticipation for the release in July.
Apple always manages to come through with a surprise or two at WWDC, and this year is no exception. In a move that nobody foresaw, the Cupertino outfit has unveiled a brand-new, "Next Generation MacBook Pro."
One of the most popular aspects of any current day website or news-type blog is the inclusion of social sharing options and buttons that allow readers and visitors to share the website content through social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Although most websites and an increasing number of mobile apps make use of some form of social sharing, it is relatively new on the grand scale of things and will only increase with time.
Here at Redmond Pie, many apps are brought to our attention on a daily basis, and while most are what we'd consider clones of an already established (and often, much better) offering, sometimes a new one arrives with its own unique twist.
Yesterday, we covered a rather dubious looking spec print supposedly detailing the next 13-inch MacBook Pro, but today, courtesy of the guys over at 9to5Mac, we have something a little more legitimate looking. With WWDC next week, the talk of a MacBook refresh is really hotting up, and this latest leak details the prices - in US and Australian dollars - of the Mac range, as well as other associated peripherals.
With the third-gen iPad having released back in March and the next iPhone expected sometime this fall, this year's WWDC is expected to announce a MacBook refresh. Rumors have been constant, with many reports suggesting Apple would implement the famous Retina display to its notebook range, but a screenshot of a purported specs list of a new MacBook Pro suggests otherwise.
