Hmmmm something cold is coming.

Just a day more for the much awaited Macworld Expo.

Macworld Conference & Expo is a trade show dedicated to the Apple Macintosh platform with conference tracks held annually in the United States, usually during the second week of January.

Ever since the existent of the iPod, the iBook, the Powerbook, the now the Intel Macs. Macworld Expo is one of the most anticipated event of the year. Giving excitement to Mac fanatics all over the world.

This year there have been speculations about some new and exciting products. Some says, its a new portable Macbook Pro, other says its a new 3G iPhone, or a bigger capacity iPhone. And I am here hoping they wont release a higher capacity iPod Touch for now, coz I just got mine months ago.

But this year its quite different. This year’s Macworld doesn’t just talk about what latest product will Apple Inc. be releasing this year. But there are also rumors about Steve Jobs stepping down as CEO. Say what? Actually I first heard about it this morning when I was talking with my colleague about the upcoming expo. I said, “Will you watch live feed Wednesday morning?”. He says, “No”. Then followed by “Steve Jobs is resigning”. HUH? What the hell. He says, “Let see Apple’s stocks fall.” Then he told me its just a joke but there are rumors. So I visit some famous community sites and blogs about Apple and read some articles.

According to a post from Dan of uneasysilence.com.

“We know that Apple has been secretly working to find a suitable replacement for Steve Jobs ever since he underwent a successful cancer operation in 2004.

…..

As you can see, the simple fact that the FONT is different on the banner - it indicates that Apple is changing.

Our official prediction for Macworld 2008: Steve Jobs will announce a phased retirement passing the reins of Apple to Phil Schiller or Jonathan Ive.“

This is really unexpected. But who knows rumors are just rumors. I hope its not true. But if its true good luck to Apple. Hope it would not drive them to the stone age.
