Must say, the shocker today was Apple’s blunt withdrawal from the whole Macworld trade show, Jobsnote and all.
This seems fishy. Of course, I found this out reading Twitter mid-day. Strange time for news, BTW.
Ryan Block and Dylan Tweney and Lisa Hempel all commented rather quickly. Then Dan Terdiman was out fishing for commentary from the likes of Timmmi Pratt.
I would guess Steve’s health has lots to do with it. Since when did Apple think it was overexposed? Please.
Have a feeling they will launch their own, Apple managed event. And make an iPhone event to own the mobile conversation in addition.
What do you all think?
Will miss the days of palpable excitement amongst the throngs of the faithful. When the geek run proud! Just glad we had the ability to prank the whole thing with klowns like we did the year the iPod was launched, and Santas other years. Salon covered our klowny antics to a tee, too. Flambeau the Klown was clasically quoted saying, “Clowns are to Macs as Santas are to Microsoft.” Fucking brilliant in a bent and twisted kind of way.
We came up with a bunch of faux slogans and put them on buttons to hand out. One was “I hub u”, since this was the year Jobs came up with the marketing term “digital hub”, which is exactly what the iTunes has come to be.
Whooo-wee! Now those were righteous crimes!
