New tips argue to have confirmed that new MacBook Pros will drop AMD GPUs in favor of Nvidia graphics. Apple’s existing 15-inch and 17-inch models incorporate AMD’s Radeon HD 6750M and 6770M graphics processors, while the 13-inch MacBook Pro sports integrated Intel graphics.

Electronic Arts, creators of the popular music game, have notified Rock Band fans that the title will be shut down on May 31st. The news first came from the website RockBandAide, which suggested that the tunes in the game were licensed for a certain period of time, which is about to end. Another possible explanation is that Electronic Arts want to shut down the servers needed to run the game – the company’s routine for the multiplayer component of old console games.

Although Rock Band will be officially pulled in less than a month, EA keeps offering the iPhone version on the App Store, with no mention that the game will soon cost nothing. The company also sells a sequel called Rock Band Reloaded, which isn’t known for sure to have a time limit.
