Macworld Expo, the annual tech exposition of for the rabid Mac sect, won't see his Holiness Steve Jobs grace the stage come January. Apple announced today that next year is the last time the company will exhibit at Macworld Expo. Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior VP of Worldwide Product Marketing, will deliver the opening keynote at this year’s Macworld Conference & Expo, which will be Apple’s last keynote at the popular expo. According to Apple . the company "is reaching more people in more ways than ever before, so like many companies, trade shows have become a very minor part of how Apple reaches its customers." Speaking of reaching more people in more ways, Apple recently announced plans to sell the iPhone at garish retail chain Wal-Mart.

Obligatory "is Steve Jobs not doing well" comment, just to get it out of the way...

Big bummer. MacWorld always brings lots of geek tourists to San Fran, and it's fun to see all the new products being introduced by all the different companies. Without Apple's participation, MacWorld is sure to curl up and die.

What exactly is the point on MacWorld anyway?

What? No more Stevenotes? What the hell am I supposed to manic-ly refresh in my browser all morning?

Crap, now how will I find out about shiny new products I can't afford and don't really want?
