Written on August 24, 2009 by Dave Greenbaum and 8 people have commented

A Macworld Expo without Apple is like ordering a decaf, non-fat latte – what’s the point? This is old news, right? Not really. For many, this time of year is when the discussion about going to Macworld begins. IDG has already started some of its marketing push. Will Macworld 2010 [...]

Apple may have cut official ties with Macworld Expo, but that doesn’t mean the show is closing for good, as some originally thought.

Pre-Macworld 2009 Thoughts and Rumors

Written on January 05, 2009 by Tom Reestman and 7 people have commented

The good news is that with the keynote almost upon us, the Mac community has switched primarily from crying about Jobs not giving the keynote to instead focusing on the usual rumors and speculation. This is as it should be.

Of course, another big difference is that I didn’t get into the keynote this year. There’s always a disconnect between [...]
