You may find some of this quite interesting: Mac
Publishing LLC (Macworld Magazine, MacCentral, etc.) today
released its "Macworld Best of Show Awards," and the company
didn't even have a booth at the Expo this year...
We actually find the above more surprising than some of
the choices (more on them in just a moment). According to
ThinkSecret:
"Despite their immense presence at recent shows,
Mac Publishing LLC and its print (Macworld) and web
(MacCentral) outlets made virtually no appearance on the
show floor this year, instead residing in a small
conference room."
Hmm. And now on to the awards. The complete results are
here at Business
Wire, but here's what we noticed: OS X 10.1 (not yet
available) is a winner, along with the mid-range QuickSilver
Power Macintosh (866MHz). The former can't be had until
September and isn't even finished, but still wins. The
latter can be ordered now and is an excellent bargain,
however. The other items are all good products and fairly
predictable: Asante FriendlyNet Wireless Ready Cable/DSL
Router, Canon D2400UF scanner, DiamondSoft Font Reserve
Server for OS X, IBM ViaVoice for OS X, Micromat Drive 10,
SmartDisk FireLite 5 GB FireWire Hard Drive, and these
three, which require a comment or two.
Xerox Phaser 860 -- no, it's not a Star Fleet
weapon, it's a printer. But you knew that already, yes?
Toon Boom -- an animation program, apparently,
designed for "animaters [sic] in the Mac
community. Well guys, we don't know how many "animaters"
there are in these parts. Is that anything like an
alligater? Or a hot potater??
Finally, Microsoft Office 2001 for OS X -- Oh please.
We saw the demo. This thing has over 800 DIALOG
WINDOWS... we wouldn't buy a copy of this unless it came
with an actual Bill Gates body part attached. We
don't care which. It's just that if it did, we'd urge
everyone to rush out and buy the software.
