I think they will change the design, using similar aesthetics however. The Aluminum look is here for a while. BTW I love my oversized, overpowered, overweight, quad-core behemoth of a desktop. :^) FOXPhotog Mac Pro Quad-Core 2.66 metric…

I've often opined the day will come when the web (in some version yet to be known) and traditional TV will merge into one. Yeah I know, call me Nostradamus! What I mean is that we all know that it is coming, in some fashion. Apple TV is not …
