It seems like forever ago that Apple first teased the iMac Pro, the souped up, professional grade version of its all-in-one. Announced back at WWDC, the company promised the computer would arrive sometime in December, and in spite a few months of near radio silence on that front, it looks like it’s about to deliver. The dark gray desktop will be available in a matter of days, on December 14, bringing with it some pretty nutty internal specs and a price tag to match. The iMac Pro starts at $4,999 and includes up to an 18-core Xeon processor, 128GB of memory and 4TB of storage. This is pretty a serious piece of machinery in a form factor that was once considered a bit of an at-home computer starter kit.

It's the most complete redesign of the product ever and even offers a glimpse at what the iPhone might become when the world no longer wants smartphones. Of course, you probably won't buy one.

The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus upgrade the existing models without completely changing them. (More on those in a second.) The third model, the iPhone X, is another thing entirely. Meet the X First of all, the X looks like no other phone. It doesn't even look like an iPhone. On the front, it's screen head to foot, save for a small trapezoidal notch...

Google these past few weeks published details about security flaws in  Microsoft's Windows operating system despite a request by the Redmond giant to hold off until it issued a fix within a few days, and now, the company has published details about three security flaws in  Apple's  OS X operating system after the stipulated Project Zero 90-day deadline to deliver a fix lapsed. Google's  Project Zero security unit has revealed three flaws in Apple's OS X operating system that might allow hackers to take control of users' Mac systems. The flaws are mentioned as "OS X networkd "effective_audit_token" XPC type confusion sandbox escape", "OS X IOKit kernel code execution due to NULL pointer dereference in IntelAccelerator," and "OS X IOKit kernel memory corruption due to bad bzero in IOBluetoothDevice." The first flaw may be mitigated by changes already present in OS X Yosemite, but that has not been confirmed.  Details  can be ...
