A great piece from the Guardian today by former and longtime Apple employee Chuq von Rospach about his 17 years working in Cupertino. A rational explanation for Apple leaving Macworld: The fact is, MacWorld causes all sorts of problems for Apple’s workers, and is an expensive proposition for the company to be ready for.

Check out this comic, which should be a fun blast from the past for anyone who remembers using Mac OS System 6. Poor granny, she doesn’t even get to play solitaire (or Mahjong). That must be why people flocked to Windows during the late 80’s and early 90’s. Now that I think about it, OS […]
