“Arrow” has been renewed for Season 2. In addition to the The CW’s breakout hit, the network also announced early pickups for “The Vampire Diaries” and “Supernatural.”

“We said last year that one of our goals was to establish building blocks to grow on, and now with our new hit ‘Arrow’ and fan favorite ‘Supernatural’ on Wednesday night, and the continued success of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ on Thursday, we’ve been able to do that,” Mark Pedowitz, president of The CW, said in a statement. “Not only do ‘Arrow’, ‘Supernatural,’ and ‘The Vampire Diaries’ perform well on-air, they’re also extremely successful for us both digitally and socially. I’m thrilled to have all three shows returning to our schedule next season.”

Based on the DC Comics character “Green Arrow,” The CW’s “Arrow” has been one of the few hits of the 2012-2013 TV season. Starring Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, a rich playboy by day and mysterious vigilante by night, the series premiere currently holds the title of The CW’s most-watched show with 4.3 million viewers.

The Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference will host Apple CEO Tim Cook for the second year in a row. Apple updated its Investor webpage today to note the addition of the conference, which will be live streamed in an audio-only format starting tomorrow at approximately 10:15 am ET. At last year’s conference, Cook spoke about the tablet market and the company’s growth over the years.

Of course, it’s rare to have Cook speak at non-Apple events, and he only recently made his first television interview appearance after being at the CEO helm for over a year. Of course, this year’s talk at the Goldman Sachs conference could be a bit more interesting than last year’s appearance, considering that he’s been CEO for much longer this time around.

Obviously, we’re not expecting any product announcements during the session, but Cook may offer some insight into Apple and what products it has lined up for the future. He might not address all of the wild rumors going around, but he may be asked about them and could provide an answer that may stir up even more speculation.

Either way, Cook’s discussion should be fairly interesting, and this’ll be his first appearance since his television interview with NBC’s Brian Williams. That is, if you don’t count Apple’s quarterly earnings call last month, in which Cook rattled off numbers and statistics from the past quarter.
