ZDNet bring up a really good point: where the heck is iWork '12? For the last few versions Apple has simply been adding features in an ad-hoc fashion to iWork 09, tacking on extras like support for features introduced with Lion, such as Versions and Auto-Save. Arguably iWork '12 isn't something that's explicitly required as the current version works just fine, but eventually we'll get to the point where an upgrade is needed. Perhaps we'll even see a Final Cut Pro X-style reboot, as suggested by ZDNet.

Yet another question this morning, this time from GigaOM, who ask the question of what's next for Apple after the MacBook Air. The thing about the MacBook Air is that it is such a great machine — so great that Intel have tried to copy it with their Ultrabook scheme — all this for a machine that was ridiculed at launch for not having an optical drive.

The New York Times has a really interesting report on how one particular Californian company is getting involved in schools. Apple is hosting inspirational conferences with teachers in order for them to experience their latest products, and most of all, educate the educators about the benefits of Apple technology in schools.

Steve Jobs has been nominated for Time Person of the Year. Other nominees include a US Senator candidate, a Tunisian fruit vendor that kicked off the Arab Spring, and the "angry people". If Steve does receive the title, then he will be the first person to do so posthumously.
