Apple faithful gather for Macworld

In case you hadn't heard, apparently Apple is having some sort of shindig in San Francisco this week. Or so Reuters reports:

For the Mac faithful this time of year is a special one: The always lively annual Macworld conference that Apple Computer Inc. and co-founder Steve Jobs host in San Francisco.

Web sites concerning all things Apple abound with rumors and speculation that swirl weeks before the event and Jobs' keynote, to be delivered on Tuesday.

This time around, analysts say their money is on a revamped line of notebook PCs that is sorely needed, more deals with media companies for a larger mix of content on the recently announced video iPod and possibly, but less likely, a new flash-memory-based iPod.

It's gotta be hard continually beating expectations, as Apple does. I completely understand why they begged out of the summer Macworld. But the high pitched hype that happens when each Macworld rolls around is simply insane. There's just nothing like it in the PC world.
