Apple to Introduce 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display in October, Report Says

The purported next-generation 13-inch MacBook would have a screen resolution of 2560 pixels by 1600 pixels, and feature MacBook Air-like qualities.

Apple may introduce its second MacBook Pro with Retina display as early as October, according to one analyst.

The purported next-generation 13-inch MacBook would have a screen resolution of of 2560 pixels by 1600 pixels, such as no optical drive and the use of flash storage instead of a hard drive. The new laptop would also have a third-generation Ivy Bridge Core processor clocked at more than 2 GHz, would lack discrete graphics, and be around 0.71 inches thick, KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo told Appleinsider.

Although this is the word of just one analyst, Kuo correctly predicted that Apple would discontinue the 17-inch MacBook Pro; however, Kuo also asserted that Apple was replacing the MacBook Pro lineup with a new laptop series, which so far the company hasn't done.

Hackers outwit online banking identity security systems


After logging in to the bank's real site, account holders are being tricked by the offer of training in a new "upgraded security system".

Money is then moved out of the account but this is hidden from the user.

Experts say customers should follow banks' official advice, use up-to-date anti-virus software and be vigilant.

Devices like PINSentry from Barclays and SecureKey from HSBC - which look a lot like calculators - ask users to insert a card or a code to create a unique key at each login, valid for around 30 seconds, that cannot be used again.

This brought a new level of online banking security against password theft.

The additional line of defence provided security even if a user's computer along with any password information was hacked, and they still offer the best level of protection available against online banking fraud.

While these chip and pin devices make the hackers' job more difficult, the hackers themselves have raised their game.

A test witnessed as part of a BBC Click investigation suggests even those with up-to-date anti-virus software could be at risk.

There is no specific risk to any one individual bank.
