I just don’t get all of the excitement over the MacWorld Expo Keynote, OK, so Apple does produce some great products but the fanboy hype around the event seems a little too much. Probably the most exciting thing was the speculation about Steve Jobs’ health. He’ll be okay though, “he’s like a god who knows what we want”.

Interesting to see that DRM is being removed from iTunes although Apple are going down fighting on this one offering us the chance to pay for upgrading (removing the restrictions on) the music which we’ve already paid to buy – ownership seems to be a woolly concept in digital media.

Much more fun than the actual keynote is this video from The Onion demonstrating the MacBook Wheel – it couldn’t be simpler!

• Apple’s iWork.com Disappoints – Not a Google Docs Competitor
• The Internet is Taking the Shine off of Apple

Update 2

I love this from XKCD:
