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!
It’s an elusive beast, but we’ve finally managed to capture one.
Mac Pro on display in Medford
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.
Mac Pro on display in Bend
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.
And hoo boy, it’s a doozy…
If the voice and the speech sound familiar, that’s because it’s Robin Williams as Professor Keating in Dead Poet’s Society.
Magnificent.
Mac Pro is the professional desktop computer reinvented from the inside out. Engineered around workstation graphics with dual GPUs, PCIe-based flash storage, high-performance Thunderbolt 2 I/O, new-generation Xeon processors, ultrafast memory, and support for 4K video, the new Mac Pro delivers state-of-the-art performance across the board.
Also, just look at it. This is clearly not your father’s world-beating workstation.
Prices start at $2999 for a configuration with 3.7GHz quad-core Intel Xeon E5 processor, dual AMD FirePro D300 graphics cards with 2GB dedicated video memory each, and 12GB DDR3 memory. Step up to a six-core 3.5GHz Intel Xeon E5 and dual AMD FirePro D500 graphics with 3GB video memory each, and the price goes to $3999. Both configurations come with 256GB PCIe-based flash storage, six Thunderbolt 2 ports, four USB 3 ports, HDMI 1.4 port, and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. There are also expected to be many options for customization.

Yes, I’d like to find out more about the new Apple Mac Pro…
The first thing you notice is its weight. Even though it’s just a two-inch cube, it has a real heft to it. It feels solidly built. Reliable.
Then you start reading over the list of things the tiny cube does: Portable rechargeable speaker. MP3 jukebox. Clock. FM radio. LED flashing disco duck.
Think of all the devices that would love to begin a new life with this guy: Your smartphone. Your iPad or iPod. Your netbook or portable gaming device or portable DVD player or… well, you get the idea.
Come check it out. But don’t put it off too long – because this week, we’re selling them for just $12.99 – 17 dollars off the regular price. Find out more here.
