- Steve Jobs won’t show up for Macworld 2009 in January and Apple will stop attending. Someone thought it was really sad, so sad that it seems like Apple canceled Christmas. People are trying to figure out if it’s because Steve Jobs is walking death around Cupertino. Frankly, the easiest answer is just that preparing for Macworld put an enormous strain on Apple — especially considering they have a two week vacation called the Exodus just 5 days prior to the big show. Let’s rejoice in this because, really, what this means is that old media is dead. Long live new media!
- A survey of venture capitalists indicates that markets will look good again soon. In 2010. Yay! Other people think it’s going be much longer, that we’ll get into a complete depression as well. Be optimistic, maybe things will be better by January.
- CNet — now CBS — relaunched TV.com. Michael Arrington thinks it looks like a rip of Hulu. Arrington also thought Hulu sucked and called it ClownCo. Remember that.
- Yahoo says they’ll delete user data after 3 months after visiting their home page or using search. Google currently has a 9 month retention time for user data while Microsoft is promising holding on to that data for just 6 months. If you never knew this before, then it’s too late to care now about looking up porn.
