Vint Cerf at Google

Just back from Google HQ in London, where Vint Cerf was speaking to a random selection of Oxbridge and London academics (and other hangers-on, like me). Perhaps more about his talk tomorrow, but one of the more notable things to me, as a Women@CL attendee, was the audience behaviour. It was between 90 and 95% male, I'd say. No laptops out at all (rare indeed), and I didn't see any men taking notes in any form; but of the women I could see, every one except the Google employees took notes, in small books or on scraps of paper.
