US assembly of Apple's new Mac Pro to be handled by Flextronics - report

US assembly of Apple's new Mac Pro to be handled by Flextronics - report: "The official Flextronics website reveals that the company already has facilities in a number of locations across the U.S., including Texas, California, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and both North and South Carolina. The report did not indicate which U.S.-based Flextronics facility will handle assembly of the new Mac Pro."


You can see why the highest priced, highest margin Mac would be a good candidate for stateside manufacturing.

MacTubes - Best YouTube Downloader for Mac

MacTubes - YouTube video Player and Downloader for the Mac.

I had been a fairly faithful user of keepvid.com, using it anytime clients sent me videos that would need to be edited into a reel or otherwise repurposed. But after the big Java security scare of 2012, keepvid never seems to work correctly. So I decided to do some googling and found MacTubes. Likely, it's a secret because the web page is mostly in Japanese, but the app itself works great.

It's a free download.
