MacRumors says a new beta graphics driver in Mac OS 10.7.3 reveals evidence of new Mac Pros, which means there might be a Mac Pro refresh sooner rather than later. They support their theory with the anecdotal evidence that new models of graphics cards are usually introduced with newer models first, then made to work with any previous machines that support the newer graphics hardware.

Hot on the heels of a potential Mac Pro refresh is the definitely-going-to-be-updated iMac lineup, with new Intel processors leading the way for Apple to introduce them into their machines in the near future. The Ivy Bridge Intel processor refresh is expected to hit sometime in Q2 2012, after delays preventing it from being released during the original release schedule.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is on record as saying that iTunes has a hidden back-door capability, which can allow authorised parties to take control of your computer. It's a page out of the old "security and paranoia" book, but I would hate to imagine the implications if this turns out to be true.

You've seen an iPhone go up in space, now see a Macintosh Portable ejecting a disk in space all the way from 1991.
