Apple just announced a speed bump on the existing Mac Pro series with no changes on hardware (old ports and what no) lame... but hold your horses.... There will be new Mac Pros (with modular system) and Pros display coming next year, according to Phil.

With regards to the Mac Pro, we are in the process of what we call “completely rethinking the Mac Pro”. We’re working on it. We have a team working hard on it right now, and we want to architect it so that we can keep it fresh with regular improvements, and we’re committed to making it our highest-end, high-throughput desktop system, designed for our demanding pro customers.

As part of doing a new Mac Pro — it is, by definition, a modular system — we will be doing a pro display as well. Now you won’t see any of those products this year; we’re in the process of that. We think it’s really important to create something great for our pro customers who want a Mac Pro modular system, and that’ll take longer than this year to do.

As for new iMacs, they also revealed it's coming this year. So yeah, i can't wait to see what Apple going to do with new iMacs and Mac pros, because this 2016 fully loaded piece of shit MacBook Pro of mine can't hardly breath on a dual-4k setup.

Streamyx can not connect without splitter

So i have the Streamyx 8m package with a phone, it works just fine. Since i don't use the phone, so i connect the phone line directly to my modem/router and it doesn't work. It won't even connect if i power off the phone with splitter on or remove the phone line that connect to the power. I thought everything should be working without the splitter? What's the deal? i have reboot modem/router and it makes no different.

Howdy.

First time buying a car here in Malaysia, not sure what's the culture. What should i asked for, how much discount should i bargain and such.

What's the going rate for a new Hilux 2016, 2.8G fully loaded? The asking price is about $135k and Toyota is offering 4k debate. Is this the best i can get? What you guys normally go for? Give a newbie a few pointers pls.

Thanks
