Reaction to Apple's Withdrawal from Macworld, Apple Expo Paris Cancelled

[rick3000]

It's a clear sign of imminent bankruptcy or Jobs' poor health. Have these been covered already?

Could you elaborate on how a company with $25 billion in the bank goes bankrupt?
(I didn't catch the sarcasm, lol)

The key to a continued life for Macworld may be to have the show change cities from now on. A new city each year. Northeast, southeast, midwest, south, or back on the west coast, it could draw in people who wouldn't previously have attended because it wasn't anywhere near their part of the country.

That's a really good idea!

Didn't you notice the sarcasm emoticon? He was just stating the reasons that people use everytime something odd happens (i.e. when Apple moves in a surprising direction that they do not expect or support). All for the sake of ridiculousness.

Thanks for explaining it. I'm not sure I had the energy to do it myself!

It's obvious. Apple pulled out of MWSF, because it's called Mac World, not iPhone World.

Don

Yup.
No more MAC specialist.
No more Apple Computers.
Safari for Windows, when is iLife coming?
No more MACworld.
No more Logic, Final Cut, Shake, theater training (been that way for a while), it's all about Mac Mail, shudder, I mean, MAIL, and how to add an attachment overshadowed only by two 80 year old married couples trying to figure out how to use iPhoto by a One to One trainer. Heck, about 90% of those Apple retail people only know iLife and that's it, PERIOD.

Apple caters to the CONsumer, again.

At least if they are going to do this and release a MACBOOK and MACBOOK PRO with the difference being very small now (same chassis), with a firewire, express slot and 2 more inches should NO longer be $700 more. That will be next.

Great decisions by Apple all around. This is what you call RESPONSIBILITY

This is what companies are supposed to do, before they've wasted all their money on archaic traditions and crap. No one needs an expo. They are "fun" for dorks, expensive for businesses. No money to be made. Its a waste of time.

Congrats to Apple for making a great decision and setting an example at a time when other businesses need an example set for how NOT to fail.
