Five months after Macworld shipped its last print magazine in September, senior editor and Mac guru Chris Breen on Tuesday announced he will soon leave the publication to take on an unannounced role at Apple.
Breen, a stalwart Apple journalist who found success at print publications MacUser and subsequently Macworld, revealed his decision to leave the magazine in today's "Mac 911" column.
After decades of offering advice to Apple users in the pages of MacUser and then Macworld, I'm making a career change and heading off to a fruit-flavored tech company sandwiched between Santa Clara and Sunnyvale.
The former senior editor also took to his personal website to thank those who helped him during his time as a journalist.
While at Macworld, Breen produced a substantial number of "how to" articles, product reviews and columns, many of which revolved around Apple's Mac ecosystem. He was also responsible for the publication's podcast and weekly video series.
Breen's move marks yet another Apple hire from the blogger and Apple-centric publication pool, the most recent being AnandTech's Anand Shimpi, who joined the company last August.

What Re they doing @ Apple? Maybe some good how to guides for iCloud, iPhoto?
Did we every figure out what Anand Lal Shimpi is doing at Apple? This is now two former tech writers that are headed to Cupertino. Have there been any others?

Anand's more than a tech writer though, he has a CE degree.
Love the sound of his voice.

I'm not downplaying Anand's abilities. But for over 15 years he was in the technology publishing industry. And Chris Breen has over 30 years as a writer and editor in the tech world. I was just wondering what Apple is doing with these people and their particular set of skills. :)
