Well I really didn't like it mainly due to people not too familiar with the English language, people winging presentations, technical issues, and drunk people. But there were a couple of things announced that I think even non-Eve players here will spike interest. Most of the videos will be put on youtube and the vids will be re-posted on this.
1) They went over lighting and ambient occlusion in Incarna. Incarna is the expansion that let's you walk in the station. It was supposed to be released this year but it has been pushed back to "when it's done". It will be released before DUST 514 they said. It's just undergoing radical changes and wasn't shown that much at all. They did say that you can do business with shady people and perform illegal activities. It's also where you will own your own bar and talk to Dust 514 mercenary corps. One of the developers quickly glossed over it but said that combat in Incarna would not happen, at this time. If you die though without a pod, you die without getting cloned and are really dead. Not sure what the developer meant.

There is a fair bit of fan fiction that goes with pod pilots. There is an ancient alien race in Eve and they made pods. The extreme toll on the human body while flying kills ordinary people, the pod greatly enhances pilot performance, and you can live forever by being cloned. Everything in space is done wire by the wires in the back of your head and is simulated like the Matrix.
2) COSMOS is now "New Eden". It's almost a Facebook that ties right into Eve. It is where your forums are hosted, pics/vids, mail, calendar, more.
3) Dominion will come out on December 1st. Currently it's nigh impossible to control any part of the map in Eve and is subject to major alliances you hear on Kotaku. The only real way to get into lawless space is to be a renter corp which pay a due to live in the space like a union fee. Dominion will change how you gain control of space and we will probably see friends turn into enemies and see a fair bit of drama.
3) Fleet formation in Dominion. Currently a giant ball of ships fly around and never in the fleet formation you are used to seeing in Eve trailers.
4) Planets will have a overhaul and stars. Stars will just looks better, planets will appear larger and have city lights on dark parts of the planet. There will be dynamic cloud formation, water planets, etc.
5) It will be possible to use up to 3 monitors to play Eve, 6 in the future.
6) DUST 514 was the main part of the show unfortunately. They mentioned that you buy the game, then pay more for additional things like special guns, etc. Really it sounded entirely sketchy, gameplay bland, it looked sucky. :bonce:
7) They introduced the Tech 3 ship cruiser class in Apocrypha with worm holes. They are planning to push out Tech 3 Frigates and Battleships.
8) Epic missions came out as well with Apocrypha and I enjoyed the level 1 arc. The level 4 arc came out and I think it's still buggy but I can't even get my standing up to do them. Regardless they are making pirate arc's with Dominion.
9) They went over it very quickly but they showed a face of a Jovian pilot (looked like a Incarna model to me). Well it sounded like far into the future they will declare war on Eve or maybe we can play their race in the future.
10) In Dominion, Motherships are called Super Capitals and use fighter bombers. These little guys do massive damage on other ships. Titans are getting heavily nerfed. CCP originally thought that there would be 3 in the game ever and using the Dooms Day device would be a measure of last resort. Well now we have more than 25 Titans in-game. They did a overkill on one alliance and used the device 25 times. The device is an area of affect weapon and will destroy entire fleets including pods. So now in Dominion you can only fire on one target that you want to kill.
11) You can mine comets.
As for me, I'm in a renter corp and doing pretty darn good. I have so much money that I can pay for Eve with in-game money easily. Gordonfreeman911 can ironically do the same thing. I will have to see what will happen after Dominion but if the crap hits the fan, I will aim to be a pirate.
