Apple Announces Its Last Year at Macworld
(via John Gruber)
This will be Apple’s last year at Macworld, and Phil Schiller is delivering the keynote instead of Steve Jobs.
This is bad news, and is the most clear sign yet that Steve Jobs’ retirement is probably coming within 0-2 years. The company will survive, but I think it’ll be a rocky transition both internally and externally.
It’s too close to Chrismas. Time to stop making people 2nd guess holiday purchases because they think the world will change 2 weeks later.
