    "Please Install Silverlight to view this content"

    They'll never learn.

    I wish Google would add time zone conversions to their search. I had to resort to WA[1] to find out what time is the event in Europe.

    Syncing music from iTunes to Windows Phone now. That's a nice way to help break the iPhone lock in.

    You'd think a launch would be geared to play to the widest audience. Disappointing that the presentation requires Silverlight to view. Wasn't Silverlight EOLed?

    I'm surprised they didn't cancel to keep from competing with the hurricane.

    On the other hand, there's not much other news than the hurricane, so it might be a smart move.

    Am I really watching a Silverlight video in Google Chrome? How the hell is this working?!

    Barely visible choice of white letters on yellow background (at least for me, it could be that live is better)

    They are demoing the phone operating system on an HTC device.

    Yay for Nokia locking themselves into this OS and not even getting that small token of appreciation.
