Finally got through the keynote. Some thoughts:
- God that guitar hero demo was absolutely painful to watch when the guy started air guitaring. With E3 coming up next week I'm often reminded of just how much of a train wreck it can be when you give a game developer a mic. The jokes are just torture.
- I don't care that Apple is slow to roll out features because those features are often crafted very well. I just don't like when they talk about these features like we've never seen them before. It's great to say that facetime works better than anything you've used before and has incredible features, but don't tell me we've entered an age where we can finally video chat.
- Steve was surprisingly funny. He seemed like he was really having fun. Perhaps he's still drunk on the money he's going to get through iAds.
- I want NetFlix in Canada so.damn.badly.
- I missed that the 4.0 upgrade comes on June 21st. That's pretty cool.
- Johnny Ive is awesome. Apple's superlatives are obnoxious, but when they come from him they are wicked.
