Macworld
What if they gave a Macworld expo and Apple didn't come? That's the central question surrounding the event that opened Thursday in San Francisco without the company that created its reason for existence. This is the first time in 25 years that Apple has not supported or participated in Macworld, and the company has indicated that it prefers to focus on its Apple stores and not be bound by Macworld schedules for product rollouts.The expo runs through Saturday, while the conference began on Tuesday.The World Without AppleThe expo's kickoff has often been a speech with new product introductions by Apple CEO and cofounder Steve Jobs, but this year New York Times technology columnist and book author David Pogue gave the keynote presentation.His presentation was packed with technology jokes and skits. One skit was a takeoff on Frank Capra's classic movie, It's a Wonderful Life, in which the Jobs character wondered what would have transpired if he had never cofounded Apple. Star Trek's LeVar Burton stepped into the Jobs role and witnessed a world where nearly all the computers ran DOS Version 22.0. Ironically, of course, the expo was imagining what its world will be like without Jobs or Apple.In this year's incarnation of that world, there are plenty of new products -- many of them aimed at the iPhone and iPod -- but few major announcements. According to news reports, there were only half as many exhibitors as last year. About 30,000 people were registered, which is comparable to last year's attendance but not as good as three times that number in some previous years. 'A Very Different Kind of Event'New applications attracting attention include the Inrix Traffic Pro, which enables an iPhone owner to watch real-time traffic reports and have access to traffic cameras. A new service, called...
Is VMware Buying Red Hat?
Because of its slow growth - a factor of the freebie open source business model - Red Hat has become fodder for Wall Street acquisition speculation, BusinessWeek says, and offers VMware as a possible suitor. Such an acquisition would give VMware the operating system it's lacking, make its products cheaper and make it a more viable competitor against Microsoft - or so the theory goes.BusinessWeek claims to have heard from "some industry executives" that VMware is looking for an operating system and says ousted VMware CEO Diane Greene "had set up meetings with Red Hat in part to position VMware as friendly to open source and possibly as a prelude to a buyout discussion."Red Hat also needs the virtualization halo for growth.read more
