As much a warning as a reminder, artist and performer Matthew Barney's Drawing Restraint retrospective at SFMOMA is entering its final throws.

ALL PRO, NO CONS
Apple finally completed its Intel transition this week introducing the Mac Pro, its new top-tier tower. Fully-featured and not bad to look at either, the standard option runs for a competitive $2,500. And while they were busy adding desktop power, Apple cut the mouse's tail releasing the Wireless Mighty Mouse. Armed with Bluetooth, it retains it ingenious finger ball, perfect for scrolling all the blogs documents you read each day. Go to www.apple.com/store
DEEP DOWN & DIRTY
While Pete Doherty was becoming a household name by dating Kate Moss and giving Charles Bronson a run for his Death Wish money, former roommate and fellow Libertine Carl Barât held firm and formed the band Dirty Pretty Things.

• Curbed's Eater has great shots of L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon, opening, albeit softly, this week at New York City's Four Seasons Hotel. • The site may not be in English, but Bright has the first photos we've seen of Levi's RedWire DLX jeans, with integrated iPod ribbon. The €200 price tag is doable, but don't leave your iPod in the pocket when you wash them, no matter how distracted you are by the looker in the laundromat... • Keep your eyes open for the Fall Fashion issue of CITY, at your local newsstands.
