Greetings from Small Dog!

Well, the dust has cleared from the crazy week that was WWDC and E3. For any tech fan, it turned out to be a thrilling week with tons of announcements and showcases. Apple made some big splashes announcing iOS 7, OS X (“Mavericks”), a new MacBook Air line and the completely redone Mac Pro.

It was exciting to find out that both the mobile OS and OS X were available in beta form as they were speaking. Several of us here have been able to get our hands on them, and they sure are promising. I have been using both and it’s going to be exciting to watch the betas develop as we move closer to their release dates.

We have a more in-depth look of WWDC in today’s issue. Shawn outlines how Apple not only made a distinct change in the design of the Mac Pro, but also in its manufacturing. Kyle speaks about his personal experience so far with the iOS 7 developers’ beta release, and last but not least, Jason has a detailed article on SMB2 and how OS X Mavericks now integrates it into its sharing protocols.

We’re also excited to announce that our annual eWaste Recycling Events for 2013 have been confirmed — see below for dates and details. Hope you enjoyed the tech feed for the week. We have much more to come, so stay tuned!
