Loose Ends: 1.06.09

Five things we learned today

- At Apple's Jobs-free Macworld, Phil Schiller went with a blue button-down and jeans. And, oh, yeah, he also introduced a new $2,800 MacBook and DRM-free iTunes. (Less official: This "Steve Jobs Lives" T-shirt.)
- Looking for something tasteful to put inside your pinup-girl wallet? Try Roberto Cavalli's new MasterCard.
- Of course, given the times, this might be more important news: Topshop's first U.S. store is now rumored to be opening on March 26.
- Slate just launched its annual Movie Club, wherein a handful of critics review the year in film over e-mail. (Early consensus: '08 kind of sucked.) Be warned, gents: For the first time, the club is written by ladies only.
- And finally, Alfred Shaheen died. The late designer helped popularize the Hawaiian shirt, thanks to colorful prints like the one sported by Elvis in Blue Hawaii.
