MacWorld is here!
San Francisco is filling up with geeks for MacWorld, the annual convention for people whose faith in an attractive and market-lagging computer system kept the company alive long enough to invent the iPod. Fifty thousand are expected to attend, so don’t try to park.
And whatever you do, don’t do what Gizmodo did at CES — troll the show floor with a TV B Gone, which is for sale at Under One Roof, 549 Castro Street, and Wild Card, 3979 17th St. at Castro St..
Netflix took advantage of the babble by announcing, two days ahead of the conference, that it would begin delivering movies online, stealing some thunder from the expected announcement Tuesday that iTunes will do the same.
Forecasts of product announcements include a thin, light notebook computer, a tablet Mac, and of course the very famous Steve Jobs.
What’s worse than a Mac geek? An inaccurate, jaded hipster.
