That is an additional cost to Apple this new policy will hopefully put an end to.<BR/><BR/>Apple has abandoned every other show around the World. This was simply the last one.TutTuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06010447133604167612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084088804065782305.post-11370701360781560902008-12-19T17:48:00.000-05:002008-12-19T17:48:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.dczwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101242871582488486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084088804065782305.post-37792091353211388212008-12-18T00:27:00.000-05:002008-12-18T00:27:00.000-05:00Well put.Many are noting that Apple has plenty of ...Well put.<BR/><BR/>Many are noting that Apple has plenty of money (of course they do because they spend it well) and how expensive can an iconic event like MWSF be?<BR/><BR/>But unlike an ad buy, trade shows take a real toll on employees (even if not at holiday time). In fact, it is the return on its people's time and effort that Apple has to maximize.<BR/><BR/>Apple is also blessed in that it can generate masive attention whenever it likes. Conversely, shipping products a month or two early is one of its weaknesses. Quality should generate the launch schedule. <BR/><BR/>I really believe that Apple is so well positioned these days that maintaining/improving quality over its broadening product lines is issue #1. Put another way, nothing is less "easy to use" than "defective."<BR/><BR/>btw the "no new features" mantra of Snow Leopard suggests that Apple shares the idea that their positioning is brilliant, and they just need to build the best products possible.(yet another) steeevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13480559164157970676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084088804065782305.post-1943529711900071072008-12-18T00:19:00.000-05:002008-12-18T00:19:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.(yet another) steeevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13480559164157970676noreply@blogger.com
