Serious question about Applause during presentations...

Is the crowd genuinly applauding to reveales during the e3 conferences? or are they playing pre recorded sound fx to make viewers think the crowd is excited?

I ask this because who would honestly get excited and uproar about Internet Explorer?

Someone stated in the MS Conference thread that companies put people in the audience to applaud things just to avoid awkward silences

It would be mean not to applause. lol And it would be very arkward.

Yeah, it's kind of awkward when the presenter pauses and he just stares out blankly into the crowd and one person goes "woo!" and it just seems so weird. Like at Unisofts conference from last year they paused so many time because they thought they were gonna get laughs, but their jokes weren't funny so there was just a long pause.

I think Microsoft paid them to clap. There's no way that people would applaud if they aren't paid because their conference sucked so much. The audience simply witnessed the slow death of the Xbox 360.

Paid applausers, I guess.

Paid actors LOL some of you guys are complete idiots. RR360DD

I was obviously doing a bit of trolling...

Paid or not. That applause was more common courtesy and is almost akin to dead silence...The conference was THAT boring.
