I'll probably be mostly in the IRC channel, but I'll definitely be hopping from site to site for news. :)

Site hopping. Then QT Stream: here (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/wwdc03/) (BOOKMARK IT). Then here to discuss and either b*tch or gush. Or both.

From the poll i see that there is much more demand for a webcast then a satelite!
If so why aren't they streaming it???

Apparently akamai's streaming servers cost a lot more than their 'static' video-on-demand servers, which could play into it. It could also just be that this is a developers' conference, so the aim isn't meant to be towards the average user, and the delayed stream is just a concession because of the potential ramifications of the announcement. :)

I will be in the IRC channel mostly. I will also be going from site to site and watching the keynote whenever it is available on Apple's site.

I'm with the vast minority of 2.38%. Because I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet. My reasons are ones that I won't go into.

Come on, where was the "Satellite Feed, IRC, and Web Sites, including both reloading chaosmint and macrumors 60 times per second" option?

(arn: just kidding about the macrumors and chaosmint thingy)

I kept up here on the forum and apple.com during the day. Last evening my wife and I enjoyed watching the Keynote together via Quicktime. Both of us really impressed!

So why satelite it???

macrumors.com, chaosmint.com, and macnn.com, I also frequently checked apple.com

later that night I viewed the keynote on quicktime.
