Whoever owns the number 201-844-9120 would probably also disagree that there were no major glitches. Although that glitch is more with techcrunch video distribution team. These are really minor glitches for a product demonstration. Major glitches are when something with the product fails, like this one during a Windows 98 demonstration:

I'd bet it's the Uber driver trying to get in touch for the pick-up.

Great to see a "live" demonstration of a new technology, but there are some things that should be scripted to avoid this kind of thing.

Pretty sure that phone call was staged to make it look more live.
by no glitches they meant no Dear aunt, let's set so double the killer delete select all
