Eight and Three


K, just got some house-cleaning news bits to deliver to the public. First up, the new Mac Pro. It seems that Apple just isn't satified with 4 cores to run their powerhouse of a computer. The new Mac Pro houses 8 cores - that's right, essentially 8 parallel processors for all your computer needs. Why am I excited about this? Well, here's the thing - I don't even own a Dual Core computer and never have. So by the time I do buy a new computer, they'll be up to 6 billion cores (ok, maybe not that much), but it just may feel like it for me. Another benefit of owning a mac - you'll own it for awhile and by the time you're ready for a new comptuer, computers will have advanced so much that you'll actually feel great about your new purchase.

Secondly, while Subaru seems to be questionably redesigning their iconobile (yes, that's a Casey-ism, no charge), BMW seems to be staying true to their "design the sweetest cars" motif. That's right ladies and gentlemen, the official M3 photos are out - no, not the M3 concept, the actual production model. Although looking a lot more tame than the concept (that's a given), the new M3 is looking every bit as good as any new M3 when its released. Not to mention its new V8, over 400 BHP engine! Will this bring Clarkson back onto the M3 team? (Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson reviewed the RS4 and actually put it above the M3 for the first time). We'll have to see. Jump over to www.caranddriver.com for more info and pics.

Alright, that's it for now. Thanks for reading.

Damn I love this car!
Honestly for me too I had the RS4 pegged at best at what it does, but this new M might trump that. Though I think the RS4 is still more of an all-rounder than the M3.
Anyways, first the latest M5 and now this. Awesome.
