Our congratulations go out to Chris Breen, a fixture in the world of Apple journalism over the past few decades at both Macworld and MacUser. Breen made the word official on his personal blog, saying “Just a note to say that I’ve left Macworld to work for a Cupertino-based technology company you may be familiar with.”
Breen’s departure comes after parent company IDG laid off a number of employees in September of 2014, shuttering the 30-year-old Macworld magazine and leaving a much smaller staff in place at its home on the web.
With his move to Apple — where his new position is unknown — Breen is giving up his life as a well-known writer, podcaster, and musician:

“As part of this change I’ll be leaving the public stage as Chris Breen Technology Guy (though I may still pop up as Chris Breen Musician Guy at a saloon near you). When the mood strikes I’ll continue writing here about topics unrelated to technology, compose the occasional podcast theme, post beach pictures on Flickr, and spout the usual nonsense on Twitter (where you can unfollow me @BodyofBreen). Otherwise, until further notice, my technology writing/speaking/radio/video/podcasting days are at an end.”
Thanks, Chris, for all of the amazing work you did for Apple users over the years. May your best years be ahead of you!
