@felix9: Can't wait to hear more.

/facepalm Oops. Yeah, it was WebGL, not WebKit.

A Short Translation from Bullshit to English of Selected Portions of the Google Chrome Blink Developer FAQ http://prng.net/blink-faq.html Doesn't it also seem to coincidental that the news that IE11 has WebKit support on it just came out before this announcement?

Gratz!  About time we see your face, lol.  I haven't watched it yet ... will try to today. 

@evildictaitor: Ok, so you want a huge # of people, but that does not equal quality of content, and considering that all the sessions are now online, they are able to reach orders of magnitude more people with the information they require.  If it wasn't for the rain at //build/2012 it would have been perfect, IMO. 

In any case, I haven't seen any official numbers for this years conference posted anywhere.  Does anyone know how many tickets are being sold this time?

@evildictaitor:  What are you talking about man, they had all kinds of events for Windows 8 where they demoed everything and then the Surface launch and Build and all the events after it are full of sessions with videos you can watch online that cover all that material.  What kind of event do you want?  How big are you talking?

And companies also lose out, because if I remember right, conferences like these can go towards a Gold partnership.

I don't think that's true anymore, and it only applied to the Worldwide Partner Conference.

@Ian2:  Yeah, perhaps I can update ... my phone does detect an update if I check manually.  However, the WIFI still isn't working here.

@MasterPie:  My unit wasn't updating, but a colleague just sent instructions on how to get my firmware to update (apparently developer or unlocked phones can't get ROM updates without a bit of hacking).  I will be trying it later today (for some reason the WIFI connection isn't working at the office right now).

I finally fixed my 920; I had to disassemble it and clean the proximity sensor contacts.  At first, it didn't seem to help, but a bit of pressure in the top left corner and the contacts are working great.  I may have to add some electrical tape to keep the pressure up on the contacts, but for now, it's fine.  There was a lot of dust in there.

I used this video as guidance to disassemble the phone:  http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Disassembling+Nokia+Lumia+920/12122/1.
