This year's Macworld has been called the worst in years because of the absence of Steve Jobs, and while I can't agree with that, I will say I did mourn the lack of Steve this year.
To salve the pain, here's a video of our man back in the pre-mock-turtleneck era, long-haired and quoting Bob Dylan. That famous line is relevant right now — for better or worse, Steve, the times, they are a changin'.

I got up bright and early yesterday morning to wait in line for the David Pogue panel at Macworld, and was pleasantly surprised to find that this wouldn't be like the other forums I've seen before — this was the David Pogue Show! Set up like a late night talk show set, David welcomed a few tech-savvy guests you may (or may not) recognize, one of them being Matt Harding.
Matt is the dancing man you (and 17 million others) have seen on YouTube, going from country to country, dancing the same little jig at each location.

Need a break from all the Apple stuff? Before there were iPhone addicts, the original handheld attention-robber was the BlackBerry. Nicknamed CrackBerry for its similarity to the dangerous drug, those of us with the affliction were affected almost as badly as addicts to its namesake (though we kept our looks).

San Francisco is alive with the sounds of Macworld, and the new learn to play feature for Garageband wants to add even more beautiful music. Check out my quick video of it, with the lovely Sara Bareilles giving a piano lesson.

I for one, cannot wait to get my hands on this; I've got a 10-year-old guitar sitting unplayed in my closet.

Wow, I cannot believe that I missed an Apple product unveiling during the keynote speech at Macworld yesterday. I guess between the new iPhoto and iMovie announcements and the big 17-inch MacBook Pro reveal, I got so carried away that I didn't pay attention to this revolutionary new product — the MacBook wheel. So simple, so powerful, so user-friendly — Who knew that everything could be only a few hundred clicks away!

Learning to be a better photographer when you're out of school, you usually just have to pick things up as you go along. Having someone guide you and learning by experimentation is awesome, but sometimes you can have an aha moment when you hear someone explain something from the ground up. In this video, it's aperture, and what it means — you'll also hear about F-stop, depth of field, and how they affect your photos.

On Wednesday eve, when most of you were probably ringing in the New Year with champagne and noisemakers, YouTube was showcasing 24 of their highest-rated and most memorable videos of 2008. If you've got some time to spare, it's quite entertaining to see the videos that made the cut. In the meantime, here are four of my favorite to hold you over!

It's as if Nintendo was all about making geeky fools of its cute spokesboys, as they did with a very young Paul Rudd. Here, they gave the full-on Poindexter treatment to a couple of young lads discovering The Legend of Zelda for the first time ("Nice graphics!" they exclaim).

The geekiness of the How I Met Your Mother crew never ceases to amaze me. The Christmas break gave me ample opportunity to watch old seasons of the show and I came upon one of the most fabulous, relatable scenes — relatable if you're as obsessed with TiVo as I am.

That end threat, BTW — I make that one too.
