In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, Apple CEO Tim Cook has announced that the Cupertino company is planning to bring some of its Mac production back to the United States in 2013.

LacCie has today added a new Thunderbolt equipped-model to its popular d2 series of external drives. Like the company’s existing d2 Quadra drive, the new model also features USB 3.0, and is available with either a 3TB or 4TB 7200rpm hard drive.
With Apple’s new iMac now shipping, the all-new all-in-one has received its customary teardown from the guys over at iFixit. Just like Apple’s recent MacBooks, the new iMac is difficult to get into, and difficult to repair. What’s more, it bears no resemblance to its predecessors on the inside.
Just as Apple promised earlier this week, its all-new iMacs have today gone on sale. You can order the 21-inch model via the company’s online store, with a dispatch time of 1-3 business days. And if you can’t wait that long, you should also be able to pick one up at your local Apple retail store. The 27-inch model is also available to order online, but as expected, it will take 2-3 weeks to ship.
It’s finally here! The all-new iTunes 11, which boasts a dramatically simplified design and deeper iCloud integration, is now available to download for Mac and PC.

When Apple unveiled the new iMac at last month’s media event in San Jose, it promised that the 21-inch model would be available in November.
