Apple Hires CEO of Yves Saint Laurent To Head Special Projects 79
alphadogg writes "Apple has hired Paul Deneve, until Tuesday the CEO of French luxury brand Yves Saint Laurent, to work as its vice president for special projects, igniting fresh speculation about possible new product launches including a TV or wearable computing devices such as a smart watch. He'll be reporting directly to CEO Tim Cook. Unsurprisingly, the company doesn't want to elaborate on what kind of special projects Deneve, who has worked at Apple in the past, will be working on. But the hire has resulted in analysts speculating, and wearable computing is on top of the list."

the new Mac Pro design is anything but boring
It's anything but good too.
I mean, unless you want exactly what's in the can it comes in. Then its great.
But usually people ordering desktop workstations want a higher degree of control over what is inside it, and above all they don't want to be ripped off.
I expect the Mac Pro will be plausible value for what is in it the day its released, but it won't be refreshed anywhere nearly fast enough, while the price will be held the same, until like the last mac pro you end up shaking your head that they would even try to charge that cutting edge price for technology that was 1 to 2 generations behind what you could get from anyone else.
