Report: New MacBook Pro to feature retina display
(CNN) — The new 15-inch MacBook Pro will be a significant departure from the current design, with a retina display and an ultra-thin profile, 9to5Mac claims, citing sources from Apple’s supply chain.
It will be so thin, in fact, that it won’t have room for an optical drive, just like its lightweight cousin MacBook Air.
Other design changes include a power button on the keyboard itself (replacing the eject button) and, possibly, the lack of an Ethernet port (replaced by an extra Thunderbolt port).

Ikea HDTV launching in U.S. in 2013
New details have surfaced on furniture maker Ikea’s smart TV integrated into an entertainment cabinet.
According to GigaOM, which cites an Ikea spokesperson, the Uppleva will support about 20 apps, including options from online video hubs such as YouTube, Vimeo and DailyMotion.
The device will also feature a Web browser and built-in Blu-ray player.
The report says the Uppleva will start selling at $960, with screen sizes ranging from 24 inches to 46 inches. It’s expected to launch in the U.S. in 2013.
Unveiled last month, the Uppleva is a high-definition smart TV and sound system integrated into an entertainment stand.
It includes four HDMI ports, two USB hook-ups and an FM radio. There’s also a compartment to hide any cables.

Headphones mix and match
Headphones mix and match
You can change your look while wearing Dubstep stereo headphones that mimic the look and feel of DJ-style headphones. The black headphones come with interchangeable ear pads in green and orange while the white version comes with blue and pink ear pads. Equipped with 40mm drivers, the headphones have been engineered to minimize outside noise while boosting bass performance. A padded and adjustable headband makes for a comfortable fit, while an in-line microphone lets you answer incoming calls. One caveat: The headphones don’t work with the first generation iPhone and other devices with a recessed audio input. The headphones from Pioneer Electronics cost about $100.

Will audio files kill my hard drive?
Answer: Saving and editing audio requires writing a great deal of data to a computer’s hard drive and reading it back, but even a computer used for little more than Web browsing and e-mail will run up read/write cycles.
For that, you can credit “virtual memory”: the practice of using a portion of the hard drive to supplement a computer’s memory.
Modern operating systems manage this so artfully that you shouldn’t notice that data is being “paged” from RAM to disk and back all the time — unless things get so overloaded that the computer starts thrashing, essentially grinding its gears as it struggles to keep enough memory free.
So I don’t expect that using a computer as a home studio — or for video editing, another data-intensive proposition — would make a meaningful difference in the drive’s lifespan.
But if you keep a laptop
