 It's Wednesday, December 18th, 2013. I'm Dieter Bohm, The Verge's only GMO-free host. This is 90 seconds on The Verge. It's been a long time coming. Apple's brand new Mac Pro will finally go on sale this Thursday. The company has completely redesigned the desktop. It's now a small black cylinder, less than 7 inches in diameter. Despite the size, Apple claims it's still the most powerful Mac ever made. That attention to detail and design won't come cheap, though. The new Mac Pro starts at $3,000. Delta is taking a stand to make sure the skies are a little quieter. The company's CEO, Richard Anderson, has made it clear that his airline won't be allowing in-flight calls, saying they are, quote, a disruption to the travel experience. This comes in response to the FCC considering changing its policy to allow cell phone use in the air, but this has since drawn criticism from travelers and airline employees alike. At last, I can get some sleep on long flights. And finally, Stig Larsson may have only written three books in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series prior to his death in 2004, but that doesn't mean the series has to end. The Swedish publisher of the Millennium trilogy has reportedly hired a new author to continue the series. The novel will feature the same characters from the original books, but with a completely new plot. Larsson had begun writing a fourth book, but the new series will not use any of that work. And that's it for today's top stories. Coming up tomorrow, we reveal a trailer for Dieter, an intimate look into my 2012 election night. Spoiler alert, it's just playing WoW and eating handicapped hot fries.
