Yeah but the problem is half the time Siri requires you to tap the screen. Ask for directions, and it will ask you to chose from a list of locations by tapping on it. It also drives me nuts how it won't read me the screen contents sometimes--especially when doing simple data lookups form search engines, it should know to read the results (like what the weather is etc.) if you've got a BlueTooth headset connected (and maybe travelling fast!)...since your'e obviously driving.

The proverbial "brogrammer" is the only type of programmer your average valley C-level Dunning-Kruger sufferer can relate to.

I use LinkedIn like I used to use Plaxo--for an up to date contact list. Whenever I get someone's business card, I add them on LinkedIn and throw the card away. I don't see what the big deal is. I set the email prefs so LI never emails me ever, so it doesn't bug me. I will say I've accidentally sent out a lot of invites to random strangers because if you browse the "the people you may know" list on the iPad you can easily accidentally tap a profile instead of swiping to scroll which sends an invite out.

The biggest thing there was Oculus Rift by a longshot. 2.5 hour wait to try it for a few minutes. Granted, GDC is not a consumer focused show, but I've never seen a crowd like that for something at GDC before.
