Randy Newman Joins Steve Jobs at Macworld Keynote, No Jay-Z Appearance

I didn't expect a record label announcement from an Apple/Jay-Z combo at this year's Macworld Expo.  I don't think Apple would make Jay-Z a president because they don't need to give away titles to get people on board and corporate presidents are typically focused on operations which doesn't seem to be Jay-Z's forte.

I wouldn't have been surprised by a marketing type deal but, according to Duncan Riley at TechCrunch, looks like they got Randy Newman for star power to close the show.

I was also checking Gizmodo's live blog manned by Jason Chen.  Those guys are boring in real time without some kind of prank to work with.

And Jason Chen doesn't know anything about Randy Newman.  All he knows is Toy Story.  What an idiot.

Randy Newman's a devastating critic of American society when he chooses to be so whatever he was singing, it seems to have gone over the Gizmodo brain trust like so many wispy clouds.

I just checked back for Duncan Riley's closing coverage at Techcrunch.  That guy is a fool.

Update:
Duncan Riley pulled some stuff from the post but my statement stands based on his history of stupid statements.
