apple cancels Christmas!
by Justin Horn on Dec 16th, 2008 @ 5:54 pmIf you haven’t heard yet, then I guess I will have to be the bearer of bad news… apple has cancelled Christmas. Ok, WTF am I talking about? Well apple announced today that this will be the last year at macworld and Jobs will not be the one delivering the final keynote:
CUPERTINO, California—December 16, 2008—Apple® today announced that this year is the last year the company will exhibit at Macworld Expo. Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, will deliver the opening keynote for this year’s Macworld Conference & Expo, and it will be Apple’s last keynote at the show. The keynote address will be held at Moscone West on Tuesday, January 6, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. Macworld will be held at San Francisco’s Moscone Center January 5-9, 2009.
Within a few hours of this announcement someone has put up this funny website called Apple Canceled Christmas which is basically a paraody of the apple offical annoucement:
CUPERTINO, California—December 16, 2008—Apple® today announced that this is the last year for Christmas. Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing spoke at a joint press conference held with Santa Claus at the North Pole, where he announced: “Apple has been honored to work with the North Pole the last several years to make Christmas possible, however, we have decided together that this is the last year for Christmas.”
Well let’s hope this paraody doesn’t turn out to be true for apple stock holders. The stock has dropped over 5 points after hours dipping below 90 after a close around 95. At 5:55EST it has recovered a bit above 92.
OUCH!
