All good things must come to an end -- even Apple's famous MacWorld keynotes. While there's talk that MacWorld may somehow be merged into CES, we'd like to think that even without Apple's official attendance, MacWorld can continue on for the loyal fan base of vendors and visitors. But enough of the sad talk. We hit up MacWorld 2009 and came away impressed by what we saw. Click through to take ...

var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/Apple_intros_17_MacBook_Pro'; Apple just confirmed the totally expected yet eagerly anticipated unibody 17-inch MacBook Pro. They're calling it the world's thinnest and lightest 17-inch laptop. It features a 1900 x 1200 LED backlit display, with a 700:1 contrast ratio, wider color gamut and a glorious $50 matte option. Most of the specs are otherwise ...

var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/Apple_announces_iWork_com_beta'; Well, it looks like Apple is competing with Google in more ways than one, with the company today announcing a beta version of the Google Docs-like iWork.com. The web-based app will apparently be tightly integrated with the OS-bound iWork app, and let you easily share documents with contacts who can add notes and make ...

It seems like the signs are pointing to a refresh of the Mac mini when this year's Macworld rolls around. According to a press release by SeeFile, their new (version 4.6) Web server software can be purchased bundled with a Mac mini server with 1 terabyte of storage -- which is odd enough, since the largest internal drive that ships with the thing is 120GB. And how about the release itself, ...

digg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/Apple_announces_final_MacWorld_no_Steve_Jobs_keynote'; Watch this space folks -- it's the end of an era. Apple yesterday issued a press release stating that this coming MacWorld in January will be its last, and Steve Jobs won't be on hand to say goodbye. Instead, Phil Schiller will be heading up the proceedings, thus marking a quiet end to a conference that's ...

Although Apple just posted some ridiculous quarterly numbers, it doesn't seem like it's going to escape the current economic conditions in the US unscathed -- like pretty much everyone else, monthly sales are down in Cupertino, according to the NPD Group. The drop is only one percent total, but it's against a two percent rise in overall PC sales, which could indicate that Apple's premium pricing ...

Apple fans are usually easy to spot. Maybe it's the trendy glasses or the messenger bag with the iconic Apple logo stitched on the side. Maybe its the way they cradle their iPhone gently. Maybe it's how they laugh at you every time you mumble something about your PC crashing. This has led to certain ... stereotypes being applied to Mac users, stereotypes largely reinforced by Apple's own ...

With all the rumors flying about an Apple subnotebook, and new Apple TVs, we're sure most of you didn't have your money on an Apple NAS (Network Attached Storage) box, but that's exactly what we got in the form of Apple's Time Capsule. Time Capsule is a companion piece for Time Machine, the automated back up system built in to OS X. The box essentially combines a hard drive and an Airport ...

Honestly we're a bit shocked it took as long as it did for someone to post a "photo" of the alleged, but unconfirmed, ultra-portable MacBook. The inclusion of a wide rumored "multi-touch" touch-pad is also a nice inclusion in this likely digitally-altered image. There is little evidence to substantiate the photo's validity. It was posted on a MacRumor message board, by a first-time poster with ...
