It sure seems like Steve Jobs is sick. I just heard Valleywag's Owen Thomas on KGO Radio talking about that.

Before this gets out of control, Jim Goldman has sources in Apple telling him its purely political, that Jobs health has nothing to do with this http://www.cnbc.com/id...

Shit again - generation e, y, x, ... bless him... I'm sure he will come out with something that we don't know up to now!

Apple wouldn't make their decision to pull out of future MacWorld expos based on Jobs's health. If his health is why he's not giving this keynote then the two matters are unrelated, and that seems like a big coincidence. More likely they couldn't meet an internal deadline and decided not to pre-announce, and Jobs decided it was time to stop trying to meet an external schedule, and the straw broke Apple's Expo-attending back.

Another possibility, whatever they were going to announce aint ready.

If it's not his health, then he must be worried that the Violet Blue person will come near him again. EEE eee ee!

If Macworld consistently provides a big boom to your sales every year and the investors/stockholders love it, would you press forward with another Macworld in today's economy knowing that it won't be as successful, or would you end it until favorable economic conditions return? Maybe this "move" to end Macworld is all about retaining the confidence of the stockholders.

Obviously people in the know knew about this for a long, long time. Why do you think Adobe pulled out of MWSF?
