I don't feel like getting up at 6 am, so I'll watch the QuickTime version a bit later on.

Yep, I'm going to be _at_ the keynote. I hope we get a free something like last year. :)

I'm going to be watching the speech on my lunch break at work - the time difference works out perfectly for me! Hopefully the feeds are good quality!

I'll probably be at the Tysons Apple Store theatre like I was last year and the year before that :D

I'll be getting up at 3:30AM to watch the quicktime stream. Hopefully my dad will let me use the broad band connection, otherwise I'll have to use my slow 56k modem like last year.

you better be good.

I'll be driving down to Apple Canada, they beam it down and show it in the Apple Seminars screen room.
And we got free food last year. Shweet. My friend and I had brought our laptops and we got connected via Airport. So we got all excited because we thought we would uncover some super-secret Apple plan, but we ended up getting nothing, cause we had connected to the network of the neighboring company :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Apple's network was password-protected, and i don't think they knew anything anyway, because they were as surprised and excited as the whole crowd.

i'll either watch it live at 1am or go to bed and wake up to watch it. It will be hard for me to not click on macrumors first thing in the morning. I want to go straight to the video stream and pretend its live.

Either by the stream, or I might go to the on of the Boston are stores for it. But I'm lazy, and it's at 12PM local time... I'd have to catch an early-ish train...

I'm a little surprised that so many people intend to watch it live via Quicktime Stream !

I can't even watch the last keynote from the Apple site, since their streaming servers can't feed the data fast enough, and after a 2 minute dia show I give up :(

How could the Apple servers feed all the clients if there's actually a live keynote, wouldn't they totally break down ?

Or does Apple put up some extra "keynote-streaming servers", for that matter ?

I got a 768 kbit connection, so I shouldn't be too slow to stream ?!

Wish I could be there or at least see follow online, but I'll be travelling between job sites. Can they stream over radio?

Who's going to be at the Apple store Valley Fair (Santa Clara/San Jose)?

I hate that mall (all malls for that matter), but the only redeeming thing about it is the Apple store. At least I have an excuse to go to the mall with my gf! :D

I want to watch it live, but I don't know if my class schduelle will let me do so:( :mad: Oh well. I'll be able to look at this site, and then watch the quicktime stream when I get home.

I'll grab peaks at the text commentary during breaks at work.
We used to watch the live QT stream, but that was under different management.

There seems to be some techical difficulty, wasn't able to connect! I have had the same problem with previous live stream events via QuickTime for a Keynote.

It is the reason why my plan to to visit my Local Apple Store at the CambridgeSide Galleria. I also had a good time when it was offered at corporate headquarters here in Boston.

Be there or be Bill's love child.

I'll be up front, in the media section, wearing a bright orange baseball cap.
