A recent article by Ted Landau on The Mac Observer lit a fire of discussion on Twitter and elsewhere about the future of the Mac Pro…and whether it has a future. Ted discusses the article, his reasoning, and why some of the reader responses caused him to re-consider his position. Equally important is the issue of how the reaction was communicated, both in the TMO forums as well as on Twitter, how the denizens of each conduct themselves, and why Twitter isn’t well suited to debate such things with a 140-character limit. Ted also discusses the latest iPhone worm and why you don’t have to worry, the Target Display Mode in the latest iMac that would have kept him from buying a Mac Pro,and also offers some of the products he would be looking at as you venture out (or in) on the biggest holiday shopping weekend of the year.
