Lulwut? That sentence pretty much summed up the entire MS Keynote… I didn’t even know such a thing existed.

As an aside, it’s interesting to note that all the presentations (Palm, Microsoft) are all doing “Keynote” presentations.

They do know that Keynote is an Apple product right?

Or is Keynote just the industry name for presentation? 😀

Uh-oh – it’s those guys from Improv Everywhere, who brought you the Frozen Grand Central and Food Court Musical, back again!

…and, I don’t know why the title of this post is “NYC Commuters Beware!”… I don’t live in the US, and certainly won’t be riding the subway anytime soon.
