The Mac Pro is a computer unlike any Apple has ever created. To build it, Apple pioneered new processes, innovated manufacturing techniques, and essentially rethought how to make a computer. This is the story of how it all comes together.

About a year ago I covered an interesting initiative, which saw the release of the first print from Peter Dean's Kite project. This was a limited-edition reconstruction of a now-lost 19th century poster that Lennon and McCartney drew on for the lyrics of their Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite! song from the Sgt. Pepper's album. The second print in the series looks into the future, while not abandoning Kite's hand-printed letterpress roots.

Gary Hustwit has made a name for himself in the design community, thanks to directing the documentary films Helvetica, Objectified and Urbanized. But apparently those only included 3% of all the conversations he recorded for them. So he's now decided to provide the almost 100 hours of interviews with more than 75 name-brand creatives in printed form: say hello to Michael Bierut, Neville Brody, Matthew Carter, Jonathan Ive, Oscar Niemeyer, Dieter Rams, Stefan Sagmeister, Paula Scher, Erik Spiekerman and Hermann Zapf, amongst others.

If you want to type up domain names you can quickly type .com or .org by simply tapping and holding the dot key and selecting the appropriate top level domain from a pop-up. The same way you can type accented characters like the letter é for the word café.

It would seem that the iPad has found acceptance as a platform for the creation of videos, with several firms offering gizmos of various kinds to turn it into a production tool. The Padcaster device has apparently been in production for a while now but a current Kickstarter campaign seeks to raise funds to extend this solution to the iPad Mini, as well as crank out a second production run of the original model. Even if you have no interest in using an iPad for videography, the campaign page offers a fascinating look at the ingenious uses to which tablets are being put these days.

Apple today announced it has sold a record-breaking nine million new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c models, just three days after the launch of the new iPhones on September 20. In addition, more than 200 million iOS devices are now running the completely redesigned iOS 7, making it the fastest software upgrade in history.

Public domain images are often either of poor quality or so esoteric as to be without any real interest. So hats off to The Public Domain Review, a not-for-profit project dedicated to showcasing interesting and unusual out-of-copyright works that are also of high quality. One of the notable aspects of this site is its curated collections of films, audio and images, spanning visions of the future from the late19th century to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fairy photographs, accompanied by text placing them in a historical perspective.
