HP has just launched the Spectre ONE ($1299), an All-In-One (AIO) desktop computer that is only 11.5mm thick at its thinnest point. This computer has been designed to look great, and be a bit of a “show off” piece in some way. To achieve such a lofty goal, HP did put the electronics in the base and got rid of legacy features like the optical drive, and there’s no TV Tuner either. Instead, HP expects customers to use online services and downloads to watch video content. (more…)

We’re sure that many Apple fans were disappointed earlier this year when Apple took the wraps off the new MacBooks, thus neglecting the iMac’s refresh in the process. Well it seems that come 12^th September, not only will Apple be unveiling the next-gen iPhone, but according to reports (via Fox News), refreshed iMacs could also be unveiled. It is unclear as to what sort of new features the refreshed iMacs will have, but Ivy Bridge processors, USB 3.0 ports and expanded SSD capabilities are reportedly among the list. Seems like an odd time to announce the iMac given that the iPhone’s announcement will probably overshadow it, but for those who have been waiting for an iMac update, perhaps your wish might come true on the 12^th of September. We’ll treat this with some skepticism for now and suggest you do the same, but check back with us then to see if the rumors have panned out.

If you’re a frequent user of Twitter for Mac, you could be in for some bad news. According to MG Siegler, he tweeted that Twitter for Mac has ceased in development and that the client will no longer be updated. Given that the last update for the app was back in June of 2011, it certainly does not seem surprising that this could indeed be the case. However interestingly the rumors have also suggested that Twitter had reportedly prepared an update that will make it compatible (aesthetically) with the Retina display MacBook Pro, but we’re not sure if those plans were shelved or if that will be the last update. Some have speculated with Twitter acquiring Tweetdeck, there is a chance that Tweetdeck could become the new Twitter for Mac instead, although given that Twitter has been integrated into the latest version of OS X Mountain Lion, perhaps a native client might have been seen as no longer necessary.
