Apple... no more macworld?

from:

I'll just sum the article. No more official Apple presence at MacWorld. I thought it was interesting... Their press conference here was HUGE. I'm definitely not Apple's biggest fan (or even a fan at all), but it was something I looked forward to. Apple is considered an "uber pioneer" (and yes that is an official term) in the technology field, and what they announce or do greatly effects the other companies (see any phone that has a large touchscreen in the past 2 years). Eh, from what I gathered, they'll probably just have their own press conference. However, it still seems as though this will effect something in the world of technology... If they show their new technology at a different time during the year, then this will probably affect the release dates of other companies competing with apple...no? We will see how this all pans out...

Hope you all saw Terminator yesterday! It was awesome, and made me love Cameron even more...*sigh*. And I just drank Tazo Organic Green tea... with a pomagrante. (That tazo site is possibly the best. flash site. ever.... btw) I'll be busy tomorrow... getting home 8:30ish... but i'll still try to leave time to blog.

Oh! And show some love here. Shaun's been getting some cool\helpful videos out...

seems as though they will still be giving keynotes, just not at macworld (which doesn't make sence because it showcases everything 'i') (sorry about the 'i' kevin). As long as they do the quarterly keynote with their major announcements, the "uber pioneer[ing]" should remain (I hope).

Not saying their pioneering will change, just saying that the time of new announcements will probably affect competing companies... and will probably change the technology world in some way.
