Come to the event in Haifa tomorrow (today) (if you registered in advance), should be much more technical and less marketing oriented. FWIW, I had fun today, and even got some hacking done during some of the not quite interesting enough lectures. > Especially disappointing was Moshe Bar's lecture.

Mr. Bar's lecture was disjointed, full of misunderstandings, half truths and self serving propoganda. I can only be thankful he didn't lecture about anything technical! > 5.

Again, the Haifa event has been slated from the beginning as technical, while the TAU event has been slated as "marketing/introductory" oriented. Hope to see you in Haifa! -- Muli Ben-Yehuda my opinions may seem crazy. But they all make sense.
