- kokada 1y agoNot really a fair comparison since this was probably alpha-quality software, and the build they used was very likely build for that specific demonstration (that ok, went badly). Like the (in)famous first iPhone presentation where Steve Jobs had multiple iPhones and needed to exactly time when to change between them otherwise they would crash.
- fransje26 1y ago> Not really a fair comparison If you are going to live-demo your latest software to the world, you better make sure that the very limited functionality you are going to showcase actually works. Especially since you get to choose the interaction, and know all the conditions and hardware beforehand.
