Crummy Macworld Expo photos

So Apple has posted a small gallery of quality photos from Macworld Expo, but who needs those when you can look at the crummy photos from my cell phone in unnecessarily chronological order! Oh, sure, it couldn't send or receive phone calls, but the camera 'abilities' worked fine.


This is the first photo I took, after I took a seat for the keynote. 'But Eddie,' you say, 'look at all those empty seats up there!' Yeah, if you sit up there, you're closer to somebody's head being in your way. Just outside of this shot is the giant video screen where I could watch the action up close while at the same time seeing Jobs in the distance.


Maxtor (a company that makes computer hard drives, in case you didn't know that) set up a number of displays throughout the Expo illustrating the amount of loss you'll experience when your computer's hard drive fails or your laptop is stolen. Fun AND scary!


Hey, I wonder what's in there? Oh, right, the iPhone. That's as close as you could get to one. It turns slowly and mocks all who desire it. In case you can't tell, I'm using a phone to take a picture of people taking pictures of a phone with their phones.


The honest-to-goodness tablet Macintosh. Made by Axiotron and OWC, it won a Best in Show award from Macworld magazine. Only $2,280.


I have never seen an ad like this before. Must've taken quite a while to apply to the vertical side of every step.


4X digital zoom should never be considered a "feature" of a camera. This is at the recording of the diggnation podcast episode 80. Kevin is on the right and Alex is on the left. Apparently some people were shocked that they actually drank beer and cursed during the show. Um, yeah, that's like asking Michael Jackson to perform and being shocked that he grabbed his crotch.


The zombie army awaits orders and spiritual guidance from the iPhone. "Pay no attention to the man at the corner of the stage!"


Even by Thursday, crowds around the display iPhones show no signs of abating. The woman in black is an Apple employee. Both Apple and Adobe's employees all dress like ninjas.


Remember how Maxtor had a clever way to remind you to keep your important files backed up? Well, this company just wants to be more direct: "Did you lose all your porn?! We can help you recover it!"


This was the first time Google had a booth at Macworld Expo. The images at the top of the booth are not banners, they are video screens. Of course, when you're worth that many billions of dollars, you can do that kind of thing.


Canon had this cool display of their underwater camera housings in action.


A closer look. Hey, I thought it was cool! A kid walked by and remarked to his dad, "There's no fishies."
