Winter’s greetings and Happy New Year!

Hope everyone in the Northeast has been able to keep warm! It’s been a crazy couple of weeks for us with all the snow that has accumulated as well as how cold it has been. It would be nice to have a Mac Pro next to me with that Thermal Core to keep cozy and blaze away on some Adobe Master Suite…

I watched a teardown of the Mac Pro recently on ifixit.com and it was amazing how this machine is built. To think that the creative minds of Apple were working on this great design here in the US and then even manufactured it in the states is great stuff. It should be a message to companies all over as well as Apple itself that we can make it work here.

Enough with my Mac Pro day dreaming. We have an awesome newsletter for you today to help you warm up and possibly get out of that tech rut. Great reads on both iOS and RAIDS, as well as a more personal article from Kyle. Hopefully you learn something new — though don’t hold back if you have other tricks or tips for us!

Have a great week and let’s have a great 2014!
