Hi all,
Let me clarify since this flame war started with my blog post. In
fact, I was the one who stood up and asked the guy why you show a
windows/mac specific technology. It seems some of the fellow listers and
blog posters are alleging that I did some thing wrong.
There were many "BIG" activists in the hall. When I asked the question
, I was not knowing that the speaker was one of the main organizers of the
event. ( And now I see the reason why no one else asked questions).
I am posting a new blog entry on current fashion.

I think lot of money was wasted for publicity and other nonsense talks.
The exhibition was much better with lot of things on the display.
