MacWorld
Guess Who? Macworld Edition
For today's Macworld history trivia, I'm focusing on the splashiness that Apple sometimes seeks to showcase its new products.
In 2005, when Steve Jobs introduced the first iPod Shuffle, which musician hammed it up onstage with Steve?
Tech Trivia: MacWorld Edition, iPod Origins
In celebration of this week's MacWorld event (and last year of Apple participation), I'm reminiscing pretty hardcore. Today's trivia question concerns the most legendary of Steve Jobs announcements. When the first iPod was revealed in 2001, how much did the 5GB version cost?
Do You Think Apple Will Be the Same Without Steve Jobs?
As MacWorld inches closer and closer, I can't help but have a little fear of what will become of the Apple I know and love once Steve Jobs retires. Although Apple insists that he is ready to hand over the torch to a new set of leaders, the rumor remains that his health is the reason for the changeover and subsequent disappearing act from MacWorld.
What do you think — Will Apple be the same without Steve Jobs as the leader and face of the company, or is the fear just all in our heads?
Tech Trivia: MacWorld Edition
In light of the news that Apple is pulling out of MacWorld after 2009, I have a bit of trivia for you: What was the first year that Steve Jobs gave his keynote address at MacWorld?
Apple Pulls Out of Macworld: Do You Care?
Yesterday some shocking Apple news was announced that had the entire geek-filled blogosphere up in arms; Macworld 2009 would be Apple's very last Macworld. I was seriously stunned when I heard the news, but another Sugar peep summed it up best by saying, "That's like Santa announcing it's his last Christmas." Steve Jobs won't even be delivering the opening keynote this year, it'll be Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, which is going to be very strange, especially if he wears a black mock turtleneck and jeans.
Macworld 2008: What Can We Expect From Apple?
We're already gearing up for Macworld '08, wondering what surprises Steve Jobs will have hiding up his sleeve this time around. With all the craziness surrounding the iPhone last year, I'm not expecting any major, life-altering announcements this year, although you just never know with Jobs. According to MacRumors, a new 3G iPhone is expected to hit store shelves by May or June, which I'm sure we'll get a sneak peek of at Macworld.
Macworld: Taking Out iPhoto’s Trash
The June Macworld features a Mac 911 section Q and A on dealing with iPhoto’s trash and unless you are the biggest Mac geek ever (cough macgirl) I highly suggest you check it out.
Apple TV Is Running 'A Few Weeks Late'
So the rumor that Apple had postponed the shipment date of Apple TV was 100 percent true. Apple announced it would ship Apple TV ($299) in February, but now expects it to go in mid-March. "Wrapping up Apple TV is taking a few weeks longer than we projected," spokeswoman Lynn Fox told Reuters.
People Going Ga-Ga Over The iPhone
Oooo-la-la, behold the all mighty iPhone. This is what we saw at Macworld, hundreds of people crowding around the shiny glass case which showcased the luxurious iPhone. We were wondering just how many alarms would go off if someone broke the glass, which we were tempted to do out of curiosity- now if only we could have gotten our hands on it!
Conan O'Brien's Fake iPhone Commercial
Funnyman Conan O'Brien and his crew created a hilarious faux iPhone commercial detailing some of the extra uses of the new iPhone from Apple, including: camera, movie player, remote control, bottle opener, blow dryer, lip gloss, condiment dispenser, cheese grater, treadmill, children's thermometer...the list goes on...and gets funnier.
Conan has always been one of my late night favorites - and a serious contender for Geek of the Week - so I was tickled pink to see this video. Here's to many more...and Steve Jobs, can you think about the hair dryer feature...a girl could use a thing like that.
