I’m watching a tech panel with the New York Times’ John Markoff moderating Lenovo, HTC, AT&T. Halfway through, he announces it’s off the record. But all sessions in the main buildilng are supposed to be on the record. After much difficulty over what’s on the record and not a few years ago, that’s the simple rule they came up with. I haven’t heard a thing that would shatter the world and I wonder who insisted on this. It’s ridiculous. And that horse is out of the barn anyway. Scoble is in the front row talking about how he broadcasts live on the internet. He could have been broadcasting the whole time. Too bad he wasn’t. That’d be the horse over the horizon.
