Philip Schiller, Apple&rsquo;s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, will deliver the opening keynote for this year&rsquo;s Macworld Conference &amp; Expo, and it will be Apple&rsquo;s last keynote at the show. (Wow&#8230;if this came from anywhere other than Apple&#39;s own PR site, I&#39;d think it was a hoax.)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wired.com\/wiredscience\/2008\/12\/magmaobservator.html\" title=\"Drillers Accidentally Create First Live Magma Observatory\">Drillers Accidentally Create First Live Magma Observatory<\/a>: Drillers accidentally hit a pocket of molten rock underneath a working geothermal energy field in Hawaii, a lucky break for geologists that could allow them to map the geological plumbing that created everything we know as land. The unprecedented discovery could act as a &quot;magma observatory,&quot; allowing scientists to test their theories about how processes transformed the molten rock below Earth&#39;s surface into the rocky crust that humans live on today.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/io9.com\/5111076\/crow-reboot-will-end-in-eyelinery-tears\" title=\"The Crow Reboot: Crow Reboot Will End In Eyelinery Tears\">The Crow Reboot: Crow Reboot Will End In Eyelinery Tears<\/a>: Oh, this is just bad: the guy who directed <em>The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen<\/em> wants to &quot;reboot&quot; <em>The Crow<\/em>, and, &quot;whereas Proyas&#39; original was gloriously gothic and stylized, the new movie will be realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style.&quot; (sigh) Why are there so few good remakes of bad movies out there, and so many <em>bad<\/em> remakes of <em>good<\/em> movies?
