The bottom line: I'm not impressed. Mena and Ben wasn't here yesterday, were 15 minute late for their keynote presentation and didn't really tell anything new (apart from the banjo story that was entertaining, but more appropriate in another context). May be there are some serious reasons behind it, but it looks like the attitude.
For me it's quite connected with yesterday's discussion about developers not listening to their users :)
