The Daily Dot:
Where Google I/O keynotes of years past have included huge reveals like the Chromebook notebook line and Nexus tablet, this year’s event was different…but that didn’t stop it from being crazy in its own right.
It’s not really the “only thing you need to read” but it might just be one of the most amusing things you read about today’s Google I/O keynote.
My favorite part was the literal Rube Goldberg machine on stage. Quite the anti-Apple.
My favourite part? “Have we arrived on Google island yet?”
Aside from that….. Google is dooooomed. But sadly, it may be.
What was with people wandering all over the place during the keynote? It was like a 3 day Hindu wedding. So now I’ve seen lots of boring Googley management types whose names I’ve forgotten showing me things that I don’t want. So awesome.
My favorite tweet of the day: https://twitter.com/BenedictEvans/status/481844463178764288
Right?! I thought maybe the stage was between the bar and the restrooms.
I didn’t expect hardware so wasn’t concerned there but, as I tweeted, they clearly need to get off the teleprompter. Looking down and away from the camera is very distracting to the crowd.
They also need to rehearse way more. I don’t sweat the tech failures, it happens [even to Apple], but give me a cohesive presentation.
Could you imagine the “boos” that would resonate through the auditorium if anyone from Apple said “leveraged turnkey solutions” during a keynote?
No-wonder there were so many people wandering around.
No dev would ever boo at an Apple event for fear of backlash. lol
They’ve said some things devs haven’t liked in the past and they just sat their and took it.
