ADDENDUM: The Macalope, while not shy about profanity, doesn’t usually point it directly at a silly pundit, but in this case he’s going to make an exception for this: Yea, he gets a little harsh there at the end but it makes for an entertaining read.

Macworld 2009 Keynote coverage summary
So, I’m seeing lots of mixed feelings about Macworld. Some are super excited about the software, others think software stinks and they just wanted their hardware updates. I’m in the middle.

Apple’s last Macworld: Going out with a “big BANG” or moving on?
I’ve seen quite a few remarks this morning on twitter and other feeds that keep restating that they thought Apple was going to go out with a big bang – but they didn’t. I don’t specifically have an opinion, but I want to at least throw another train of thought out there. The whole mindset [...]

Get a LoD of this: What can Brown do for you?
Today’s Link of the Day is a special delivery: UPS guy hail-mary’s a package into the garage. Funny that this should be posted today, because just a few days ago I was hearing stories from a coworker about UPS saying that they couldn’t find her house (for a very straightforward city address) and then following [...]
