Apple Music Event: Steve Jobs in Attendance

Topic:

The title just about says it all. A Bloomberg reporter has spotted Mr. Jobs and his trademark turtleneck entering the rear of the building prior to the event.

We've been wondering for weeks whether or not Steve was going to show up at the big event this year. Now we know that he will, which most likely means that he'll be delivering the keynote address this year. I can't imagine Steve sitting around and letting someone else have all the fun when he's actually in attendance.

Steve Jobs: Back at Work, Snubbing CES.

Topic:

We've got some news that Apple's founder and often creative impetus, Steve Jobs, has been sighted doing his day-to-day work at the Apple campus for the first time since his return. Apple's stock jumped 2.52 a share at the news. A photograph of Jobs was snapped, confirming that Apple's founder is finally back in the saddle.

From what we understand, these days Jobs has been primarily concerned with putting the finishing touches on Apple's new iTablet, expected out either this Holiday seasion or early 2010. He's been a busy man, which might explain why he's ignored Gary Shapiro's requests for him to attend the 2010 CES conference.

Apple says MacWorld 2009 is last for them and Steve Jobs will not hold Keynote

Topic:

Apple announced today that the MacWorld Expo 2009 is the last show the company is exhibiting.
Additionally Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, will deliver the opening keynote for this year’s Macworld Conference & Expo, and it will be Apple’s last keynote at the show. So cancel your trip to MacWorld right now, there will be no Steve Jobs show.
Apple cites as reasons for the move that trade-shows are not important for the company anymore to reach customers. Apple says that 3.5 million people visit an Apple Store each week and the Apple site reaches more than a hundred million customers.
I am saying this all along that Trade-shows are a dying species. Since you can these days have high quality video webcasts companies can pull off a show that cost way less than a trade show participation. To continue to reach customers and partners on a personal level, companies are better off arranging special events. Read more
