Red Mac Pro $977,000

Apple's Jony Ive helped raise $26.2 million at Sotheby's for Bono's Project (RED).





Eventually somebody is going to come up with color case replacements for the MacPro, and one of those colors will be red.

Product (RED) Mac Pro auction brings in $977,000; gold EarPods sold for $461,000


The nearly $1 million dollar winning bid makes the Mac Pro the most expensive desktop PC ever built or sold, a wide margin ahead of novelty machines created by Japan's Zeus Computer, built from platinum and gold, with moldings embedded with diamonds and priced up toward $750,000.





Blonds have more clout.

Interesting power-female dynamic here with Couric, an ABC star news anchor; Marissa Mayer, Yahoo's CEO; and Laurene Powell Jobs, ABC/Disney's largest shareholder. Although Powell Jobs likely had nothing directly to do with the Couric/Yahoo deal, it still leaves open interesting possibilities in the Apple-Yahoo-ABC/Disney Silicon Valley Universe.

Samsung could also buy Adobe, if Apple fails to buy it, and will then own all the best creative tools and the internet porn industry. 

Don't laugh, Flash is what keeps Adobe alive, and Samsung needs it.
