Macworld 2009

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

Just came back from Macworld. Quick thoughts:

More swag this year. Ended up with a shot glass from Iomega, a hackey sack from Turbo Tax, an energy drink, and lots more. Big theme this year: buttons. Everyone had buttons. Buttons sort of suck.

I sorted through all the bits of paper that were shoved in my face here’s what I’m checking out/want to learn more about:

  • Virtual box from Sun: Like VMware or Parellels but free
  • Wazabee: crazy 3-d TVs and laptops–no 3-d glasses required
  • iKlear: free samples rule
  • blurb: they make books for you, whether a photo book or a novel
  • TaxCut: Got the federal for free
  • Crashplan: The missing peg in my backup strategy is offsite. This or Back Blaze look interesting
  • Undercover: software that will track a missing/stolen laptop
  • Macworld and MacLife magazine: I used to subscribe to both. Sometimes I miss print media

This was the first year that I didn’t spend any significant time at Apple’s booth. Why? Well, I didn’t have much time, and there wasn’t much to see. I’m already getting iLife and iWork, so I’ll play with those at home. I have no interest in the 17″ Macbook Pro. And iTunes is already DRM free here at home. I hope Macworld can make it without Apple at the expo.

So Macworld didn’t suck, but nothing blew me away.
