Brand: MacTech

AppleThe Mac Pro will be updated by the end of summer and include USB 3.0 and either Firewire 1600 or 3200 support — but not Blu-ray playback, reports the French site, “HardMac” (http://macosg.me/2/jr).

USB 3.0 is specified to transfer at five gigabits per second, or 10 times faster than USB 2.0. Plus, USB 3.0 products are backward-compatible with USB 2.0 devices and will interoperate with them, as well, so there’s no reason for Apple not to include USB 3.0 on upcoming Macs.

In a clear indication of Apple’s continuing strength with business customers, a new survey of enterprise technology managers shows accelerating interest in purchasing first-time or additional Macs and iPhones.

In addition, the survey shows that the iPad is off to a very strong start, with nearly one in four IT managers stating they’ve already purchased or ordered the new Apple tablet. The survey also showed that for most IT managers, the lines between their personal and business use of Apple products have blurred.

Tryten Technologies (http://www.tryten.com/) has released the US$64.22 Mac mini Security Mount, which secures the Mac Mini to a variety of locations, including the back of a monitor or to any side of a workspace without limiting functionality.
