Historically, Apple hasn’t been one to offer sneak peeks of anything. That changed today with the next-generation Mac Pro — likely a function of the fact that teasing such a machine couldn’t possibly weaken sales of a desktop that hasn’t been updated in a technological eternity. Waiting just outside of the concourse walls was one of the prototype cylinders, and it’s perhaps the sexiest workstation this world has ever seen. All we know for now is that it’ll make its debut “later this year,” boasting four USB sockets, six Thunderbolt 2 ports, a full-size HDMI connector, a 3.5mm headphone port and a pair of gigabit Ethernet ports. And yes, it’s almost certainly a fingerprint magnet.

An armed robber stole millions of dollars worth of jewels at a hotel in Cannes, officials said.
According to the BBC, the theft took place on Sunday at the jewelry exhibition Carlton Hotel. The stolen gems are worth around $53 million, the AFP reported.
Sky News also confirmed the incident.
According to The Independent, the heist took place in broad daylight. Local news media said the thief escaped with the stolen jewels in a briefcase.
This is the third major jewel heist this year to take place at Cannes, the site of one of the world’s most prestigious film festivals. During festival in May, $1.4 million worth of gems were stolen from a Swiss jeweler. Later in the week, a diamond necklace worth $2.6 million was taken.

Keith Wiens, a retired officer in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, faces second-degree murder charges in the August 2011 shooting death of his common-law wife, Lynn Kalmring. In court Thursday, Wiens testified that he shot Kalmring in the face in self-defense after a lost bet over a Nintendo Wii game escalated into a violent domestic dispute.
According to the Penticton Western News, Wiens told the court that he and Kalmring usually made sexual wagers over video games. On the night of the shooting, Wiens said he lost and came to the bedroom to find sex toys on his pillow. Tired, Wiens brushed the toys aside and went to bed, but Kalmring got upset and accused him of not finding her attractive, he said in court.
Wiens also said that he woke up to his wife hitting him, so he told her to pack her bags and leave. He said that he retrieved a handgun from his bedside table after Kalmring left the room because he was afraid of her.

Orange peel syndrome. Cottage cheese thighs. Hail damage. There are a lot of pet names for cellulite, each of them unappetizing enough to make us not want to talk about the phenomenon at all. That Photoshop magically smoothes the skin of every woman professionally photographed, well, that means as a society, we don’t have to look at it either. But, amidst all this if-you-ignore-it, it-will-cease-to-exist mindset, lie many myths about who gets cellulite and why – and an estimated $62 million industry that makes devices to banish it.
Do any of these devices work? Is cellulite the deserved curse of those who gain a bit of weight?

Everything you want in a luxury gaming laptop–almost.
PC makers aren’t known to swing for the fences when they build new laptops. The heart of their business isn’t about making the best laptop they possibly can. It’s about checking the right boxes, hitting the right price points and staking out a good spot on the shelves at Best Buy. You’ll find plenty of good enough Windows-based laptops these days, but if you’re willing to pay for a laptop in pursuit of perfection–well, there’s a reason Apple dominates the premium PC market.
Razer, however, is in an unusual position. The company’s bread and butter isn’t laptops and desktops, but peripherals like mouses and keyboards, specifically aimed at PC gamers. Razer is unencumbered by the need to sell PCs to the masses. Instead, every so often when the company decides to build a PC, it can swing for the fences.
The $1,800-and-up Razer Blade is the company’s latest effort, and a valiant one. It’s a 14-inch laptop built for gaming, but you might not know it from appearances alone. At 0.66 inches thick and cut from a slab of aluminum, the Razer Blade takes some design cues from Apple, but with plenty of its own flourishes. The case is a deep black, with a slight downward contour where Razer’s bright green hydra logo resides. Beneath the razor-thin lid lies a backlit keyboard–the same shade of green, of course–flanked by some surprisingly loud stereo speakers.

There is nothing like a biblical plague landing on your face to make you question the importance of importance of physical appearance. I was 24 years old when I noticed a massive knot on my face that caused my left eye to close slightly. I was sure that something horrible had bitten me and was equally sure that some topical cream and an antibiotic would cure it. But when my normally personality-less dermatologist sat down beside me, put his hand on my arm and said, “You are so young and pretty. I am so sorry,” I knew I was wrong on both counts.
At the time the plague descended, I was a trainer for a mid-sized bank, which called for me to present in front of people on a regular basis. I was also getting married soon… that special time in a girl’s life when you prepare for that walk down the runway that church folks call an aisle.

No one likes to queue. Even the British who, it’s often joked, invented the orderly line, are getting sick of it. Recent research suggests most Britons are now prepared to tolerate queueing for only four minutes.
Yet the average British shopper spends a painful 53 minutes a month in supermarket queues. Together with all the time spent waiting for buses and trains, it mounts up to nearly six months of queueing in a lifetime. Haven’t we got anything better to do?
No wonder, then, that stores spend millions of pounds trying to reduce their customers’ queueing time.
First came barcode scanners, then the super-irritating self-service checkouts made famous for their constant refrain of ‘unexpected item in the bagging area’. But now all the waits and irritation could be in the past with the arrival of the Rapid Scan.
