Live virtual coverage of MacWorld today, only at colianni.net/aj !

Just for giggles I thought I might post little observations and clever comments about the proceedings at MacWorld SF. Which, as noted by Rob at Mac Net Journal (an excellent site), this may very well be the last MacWorld ever! Apple has been making indications of moving away from the bi-yearly giant trade show event for a while.

What’s on the agend for today? New iApps? Updates? New Macs? Firewire2? New iPod? The AppleTivo Super Device! (with the G16 engine)

40 minutes and counting…
