And the first sign of a tradeshow’s death is when folks are allowed to start selling crap.

It’s all good though, we don’t need every single person and their mother claiming to be a techspert. Let’s give the reigns back to those who brought us to the place where we are, or were at the end of 2010, so we can actually get excited about NEW developments instead of watching them get the kaibosh because angry hipsters read about them before they come to market, tweet about them, and cause enough of an uproar to scare manufacturers into second-guessing themselves.

C’est la vie
