Keynotes: part press conference part play. This years keynotes were dramatic and if there was a common theme running in them this year it is this: we are making stuff up. Not faking it, but making products, services, and plans for which there is no real, solid revenue acquisition model yet. Far from working on things that make no sense, the keynotes highlighted each companies sandbox and the possibilities our head-long leap into technology can bring us. These possibilities are not so much about a killer product, but a killer revolution, each aimed at disrupting how we live, work or play. It is an exciting time in technology.

GM is really struggling and one would expect that being offered a keynote address would come with some big announcements.
