Apple to Launch Anorexically Thin Flash-Based Notebook
A week before MacWorld, where rumors have it unveiling an anorexically thin Flash-based notebook, Apple upgraded its Mac Pro workstation with Intel's brand new 3.2GHz 45nm quad-core Harpertown Xeon chips to create its fastest Mac ever. Eight cores are now standard on the box, which comes with new ATI graphics, a PCI Express 2.0 graphics slot that doubles its bandwidth and up to 4TB of internal storage. Apple says it can support eight 30-inch displays at once. It's described as ideal for film and video editors.

But it did, and I'm so glad to have been there.
AP - Flanked by officials from the NAACP and the Southern Poverty Law Center, FBI Director Robert Mueller last year announced with considerable fanfare a new partnership between his agency and civil rights organizations.
