DEMO Observations

Paul Kedrosky has some interesting observations, some more snarky than others.  I agree with most.  I especially like this one:

It's fine to have opinions, but keep them to yourself. On sitting down I immediately began ranting about Treo, operating systems, and wireless devices to a fellow from Sony sitting beside me who I asked to "Please kill my Treo". Three people in the row in front of me turned around: They were senior marketing sorts from Treo, and we had a short and somewhat strained conversation.

That's good advice.  I have stepped in it more than once myself at conferences like these by trashing some company or technology without fully understanding who everyone was around me.
