- 11:46 AM: electricpig This is quite a strange launch… there’s none of the presentations, speeches, or corporate waffle we’re used to. It’s actually quite nice! But given that there’s no minute-by-minute happenings, we’ll call this liveblog to a close. Thanks for watching. We’ll have fully-formed hands-ons and photo-fests shortly!
