And that's a pity. Because while some might miss the excitement of an Apple keynote and others might rue the potential loss of a rallying point for the Mac community, one of the things that I'll mourn is the lost opportunity to see a warehouse's worth of products under one convention center roof (well, two roofs, if you differentiate between Moscone's North and South halls). And I'm not just talking about the latest and greatest products--I'm also talking about the wacky, offbeat, and just plain weird things you see at an Expo. Keep your eyes peeled at Expo, and you'll see products that can turn your iPhone into a musical instrument, grown men tearing up at the latest hardware announcement (or lack of one), and the latest in vegan iPod covers.

Is there a connection between peaches and bunnies that I'm somehow missing? I ask because tech-publisher settled on a clever--if not readily apparent--way of making its mark on Expo: the company handed out free bunny ears.
