I found myself becoming disinterested while watching the keynotes over the past couple of years. They present _so many_ things now. I disagree with author's opinion about the people on stage being on commission. I don't feel a sales pitch; I just can't be interested in the number of things they're trying to fit in to the keynotes these days. But hey, I'm sure there's a chunk of people interested in each topic -- maybe they should think about moving some things out of the keynote.
