   ExtraBITS for 18 June 2012

   TidBITS Staff

   There was undoubtedly more happening last week, but between WWDC
   exhaustion and our TidBITS Presents: Adieu MobileMe event, this piece
   at Macworld with Tim Cook promising a new professional Mac was all that
   jumped out at us.

   [1]Cook Promises New Professional Mac for 2013 -- In response to a
   customer's query about the underwhelming Mac Pro update released last
   week (see '[2]Mac Pro Gains Only Minor Speed Bump, Not Thunderbolt or
   USB 3.0,' 11 June 2012), Apple CEO Tim Cook replied by email that Apple
   is indeed working on a more substantial update to the professional
   tower Mac. Cook writes, 'Although we didn't have a chance to talk about
   a new Mac Pro at today's event, don't worry as we're working on
   something really great for later next year.' Macworld confirmed with
   Apple that the message was indeed from Cook.
