Steve Jobs Skips MacWorld and Bill Gates Skips CES

[Apoptosis]

Is 2009 going to be a year of change in the tech industry? First Bill Gates won't be doing a keynote at CES and now I just read an article saying that Steve Jobs is skipping MacWorld... Pretty Crazy, but they also said that Apple is pulling out of MacWorld. Why would Bill and Steve get out of the spot light??

Apple's true believers are being put to the test. Late Tuesday the company announced that Steve Jobs will not be giving the keynote address at the annual Macworld Conference and Expo. Apple also said that Phil Schiller, its top marketing guy, will be giving the keynote this coming year, and that this will be the last Macworld in which Apple will participate.

i understand Bill, but Steve skipping just doesn't make sense unless he has something very important to attend
