Apple's much awaited Mac Pro started shipping a few weeks ago and we just received our review unit. This is the 12-core processor version with 32GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. It comes in a simple black box with a few flyers, black Apple stickers and a power cord.

LG's G Flex, which the company claims is the world's first flexible and curved smartphone,  drew a lot of attention and while still considered a cutting edge (read: expensive) product, this 6-inch curved OLED sportin' smartphone show uss what one version of the future of our mobile devices could be like. Let's see if we can see any bumps on that curved display.
