It's the beginning of the year and it's time for Macworld 2008, which going to start off next week.

This annual convention will not only showcase the latest technologies revolving Apple but also provides a platform for developers, geeks, and customers to discuss, assimilate, and exchange ideas.

Why is this important, you might ask.

First, I believe in community upbringing. It completes the innovation cycle. It's a driving force. It's a purpose. It matters. Afterall, collecting data is the first step toward wisdom, but sharing data is the first step toward community.

So why is community so important, you might ask.

In any platforms, to truly develop seamless technology or innovation, the product must be tested. I'm not talking about open source or other bull-crap, but the testing which is the most critical stage of development, involves developers. Independent developers. It's like writing a book, and giving it to other writers to proofread. In other words, developers and customers provide 360 degree feedback.

I don't know where I'm going here. This is getting incoherent. But the point stays, community is important, goddammit!
