Just shortly after the new Mac Pro goes on sale, Apple is now quoting February 2014 shipping time.
I wonder how many Mac Pro they produce everyday in the good ol’ US of A?
How many can Foxconn assemble Mac Pro in a day?

Bite My Shiny Mazda3 Infotainment Center
One thing that is annoying about cars with Infotainment Center is that they do lock up. I’d say the word “crash” but I felt it’s a bit uneasy to use when talking about car.
The Infotainment Center on this particular 2014 Mazda3 locked up and would not go beyond the Mazda logo. It’s nice to know that the radio and the CD player wouldn’t work either if the Infotainment Center locked up.
What a first world problem.

Kingston SSDnow V300
One thing that I bought during the so called “Balck Friday” weekend was a 240GB Kingston SSDnow V300. I was planning to install this SSD on the very MacBook Pro I am using to type this post; but I kinda forgot to do. I will install the SSD probably tomorrow.
