I think that Apple should have a long lunch on the last day, closing the doors not before 2PM. Or reschedule the (to me, largely useless) Beer Bash for Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>My feelings about the conference are best expressed by the famous <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gary_Larson\">Gary Larson<\/a> cartoon <a href=\"http:\/\/ircamera.as.arizona.edu\/NatSci102\/images\/extbrainfull.htm\">&#8220;My brain is full&#8221;<\/a>.
