Apple says goodbye to Macworld
MacObsession — ... Apple Expo in Paris, then NAB. For Mac fans who have been religiously looking forward to announcements every January, this is certainly the end of an era. The timing is certainly very odd; Apple is at a high now in terms of mindshare and market share. That said, Apple is a very different company from what it was just a few years ago. 25% of their business now comes from a whole new category : mobile phones. Perhaps we will see Apple at CES and CTIA instead? [ via Ars Technica ]
