Mobile Phones at WWDC
Im probably being really picky, but mobile phones at WWDC are starting to annoy me. At the beginning of every session they make an announcement along the lines of:
“For the benefit of all sessions members, please ensure all devices that create sound including laptops, mobile phones , etc are turned on silent”
Yet…. every single session ive been in today there has been at least 1 person whose mobile phone has started ringing during the session.
Sure i know some of these people might be busy people, and need to take important calls, but sheesh, mute it for the session and let it go to voice mail or somthing.
*sigh*
You can forgive someone for not turning their phone off – maybe they were busy talking to somone, maybe they didn’t hear the message, maybe they just plain forgot. But if your phone rings during a session, why answer it? Why not turn it off at that point? I don’t understand some people. To sum up: I find it annoying too
I don’t believe there is a phone in existence now days that doesn’t have a “Pleasure Mode”. If it’s that important to know a call is coming in, switch to silent and shove it down your pants. That’s what i do.
