While phones will full touchscreen displays have been around before the launch of the first-generation iPhone, they weren’t particularly nice to use, partly due to the fact that these touchscreen devices still relied on resistive touchscreen displays, versus capacitive which was used by the iPhone.
What this meant is that the touch wasn’t as smooth, fluid, or intuitive. If you’ve used one of those phones before, you know what we’re talking about.

After teasing the new Mac Pro at WWDC 2013, Apple finally released the computer towards the end of 2013. While the new Mac Pro boasted a brand new and very unique design that was packed with powerful hardware, it seems that the demand for the computers could be higher than what Apple had anticipated as they were having difficulty keeping up with demand.
We have seen shipping times slip to February and April for those who were a little slow in placing their orders, but now according to reports, it seems that Apple will be delaying some early Mac Pro orders until March, meaning that some customers who bothered to place their order early can only expect their new Mac Pros next week at the earliest.

Mac OS X 10.6, better known as Snow Leopard, is almost four and a half years old. The last security update for this iteration was released back in September 2013. It was left out in the update released in December, as well as in the one released day before yesterday. Most recent OS X update brings fixes for OS X 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9, but leaves out Snow Leopard.
