Apple Store error reveals 8-core Mac Pro?
TUAW reader Drew sent us a juicy tip: the UK online Apple Store is listing an 8-way Mac Pro under the search results for "mac pro." It reads "Now quad-core and 8-core processing power," however, if you click on the link it takes you to the standard Quad core page.
Given that the quad-core Intel chips have been available for a while now (and even installed in the Mac Pro by some enterprising souls), it was only a matter of time until this happened officially. Nonetheless, this looks like good evidence that a new Mac Pro is coming soon, and it wouldn't be the first time a website screw-up has revealed an upcoming Apple product.
Update 7:13p EDT: The UK Apple Store is currently in "Be Right Back" mode... presumably to correct the unintended information release.

Apple TV has all the time been announced in Europe and has been listed at the Apple Stores as Shipping Late March (or something like that) since the Keynote just like in the US store.
It's sick how obsessed we are with Apple. I find myself going to Apple's online store all the time waiting for them to slip. That's what makes us so great though lol.
