Your Macbook camera could be spying on you, and you wouldn’t even know! Do you feel like someone is watching you?

Microsoft is running out of the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2. Mike is part of the problem. Look at him with his shiny new Microsoft Surface. So, is that a good problem to have, or is it manufactured?

The new Mac Pro’s are being made in Murrica! MURRRRICCCCAAAAAA! Check out the article on SF Gate.
