I'm probably dense and forgetting the relevant reasons but...
If Apple's organizing a "major event", then why the hell did they decide to not do it at MacWorld?
The reasons I seem to remember being given was that Apple was basically tired of living up to hype and coming out with disappointed/angry fanbois who held Apple to their delusion of grandeur and now this?
I suppose it may just have been coincidental that they were ready to show it off at around same time but...
