Apple did something unusual this week: It admitted it dropped the ball with the trash can-looking Mac Pro and announced plans to release a new Mac Pro and new iMacs... next year. 。

Though Apple stopped short of showing off any new hardware, the company hinted at a new Mac Pro design that'll fit the needs of its most demanding users. We're taking that to mean some kind of configurable computer that'll let users swap in new graphics cards, and maybe — just maybe — finally support resource-intensive things like VR. 。 Next, Business Reporter Kerry Flynn joins to tell us about Mastodon。Next, Business Reporter Kerry Flynn joins to tell us about Mastodon 。
