MacWorld has gotten to be so big that Apple has had to dedicate a weeklong convention in Las Vegas for vendors to show off all their iPod and iPhone accessories. They called this MacWorld 2008 Pre-show “CES 2008″, and kicked it off with Bill Gates delivering an “SNL like” Digital Short. It was the best 5 minutes of Bill Gates ever, followed by a dozen or so hours of random Microsoft messaging.
Fortunately, I was able to avoid watching the Bill Gates keynote in the convention hall by watching it stream live at the Seagate BlogHaus hosted by PodTech.net. At the BlogHaus, I met the lovely and delightful Chola from Ask A Chola, who was just one of the many Mac-using bloggers who showed up this year.
My promise for bloggers attending CES 2009 BlogHaus next year: I’ll tone down my Apple cult ideology, if in fact, Steve Jobs does deliver the CES 2009 Keynote.
As for the MacWorld 2008 Keynote, We’ll just have to wait to see if Steve Jobs can top the iPhone.
