Happy Mother’s Day, everyone! Here’s a warmhearted short, shot entirely on Google Glass. It was created by alumni and students from the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts, as part of the Google Creative Collective. (Mashable has a nice article on how it was made here.)

Thanks, Mom!

Apple Mac Pro now in stock at Bend and Medford locations

It’s an elusive beast, but we’ve finally managed to capture one.

We refer, of course, to Apple’s most powerful desktop system, the Mac Pro. It is a completely re-imagined workstation-class Mac, designed from the ground up for the most demanding applications. If you are editing video, rendering 3D models, or working with gigantic Photoshop files, this is the computer for you.

This particular version features a quad-core Xeon processor, 12GB of memory, and 256GB of ultra-fast flash storage. And even though it’s just under 10 inches tall, the expansion options are incredible. With its six Thunderbolt 2 ports and dual AMD FirePro D300 graphics processors, you can drive an array of three 4K displays, or six Apple Thunderbolt displays.

The unusual cylindrical design of the new Mac Pro has been a polarizing one. We think it’s beautiful, a triumphant wedding of industrial design and art. What do you think of its surprisingly compact, shiny minimalist blackness?

We’ve got it on display right now in both our Medford and Bend stores. We invite you to stop in and unleash this beautiful beast.
