Options for coverage include:

b) If you have your own IRC Client, point it to irc.krono.net, #macrumors or irc.tecknohost.com, #macrumors
d) Web based client can be found at here (http://irc.tecknohost.com/)

Please choose only one option.

Web Coverage

MacRumors will be providing web based coverage. http://www.macrumors.com will redirect to the proper pages as the time approaches.

The WWDC keynote starts at 1pm Eastern time.

My Bi-annual time to "Geek-out" is here again!

[Freg3000]

Good, hopefully the IRC on the front page will attract more people. Last year hundreds of us were waiting for the details on Panther. As for the forums....

Most users ever online was 2652, 01-06-2004 at 03:14 PM.

Let's see if we are going to break that today.

Less than 3 hours!

[jimsowden]

Heres where the video will be when its up:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/wwdc04/

[SilentPanda]

I wonder if post Keynote today (or post-WWDC) if they will have a page up on their website detailing the new features. Didn't they have a Panther preview page up last year? I'll make up a URL:

http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger

[musicpyrite]

aahhh!!!!

This java thing in the browser is causing Safari to dick up! I've had to Force Quit it 3 times in the last 10 minutes!

Go macrumors!!

only 2 hours and 35 minutes!!!

We can brake the record, I know we can! (If only the Macrumors Forums server can handel it...

[NusuniAdmin]

I hope apple posts the quicktime stream of it in a few days like it normally does. If they don't then I will just be heartbroken :(

[klaus]

I can't seem to hide the quit messages from the server. If the coverage starts, i'll have to read between these quit messages all the time, not very handy.

I'm able to hide the join messages, but not the quits..

i'm using the web irc client.

yeah, I can see all the slashdot trolls pushing the 'refresh' button every 6 seconds saying: "down with the server!!!"

2 hours and 33 minutes!!

[mms]

They probabaly will have a stream, just like they always do. They're still not broadcasting to the Apple Stores, correct?

[MoparShaha]

I hope apple posts the quicktime stream of it in a few days like it normally does. If they don't then I will just be heartbroken :(A few days! It better be up in a few minutes! :D

[nsb3000]

I hope they post it tonight...I can't decided whether to read the Macrumors coverage, as it happens, or not look at anything until the stream is posted and watch that.

[~Shard~]

I'll be watching MacRumors.com intently then for the whole keynote! Can't wait!

[MacsRgr8]

2 hours 30 mins to go.....

[rastafari]

why would apple not stream this? its so stupid. they know 100,000+ tune in and watch everytime they stream a keynote. I would hope it will at least be availible to view after its over and edited. i'm so bummed its not being streamed :(

[musicpyrite]

wow! we just passed 2,000 active users, and im not getting the DoS message as much as i thought


arn! theres a bunch of idiots on the irc!

some of the things they are saying:

they are going to discontinue the powerbook
someone has a g5 powerbook
multiple people are complaing about not having processors made out of diamonds
people say there is going to be a video ipod
tiger will be x86 only
there will be virtual desktops in tiger (i like that idea, but its not gonna happen)

[Jmitch]

Yeah, it's a major bummer for everyone. But, lets hope they post it up right after the live Keynote is over. ;)

Looking back to last year's WWDC, it appears that even though a QT Stream was not available until after the Keynote, Apple actually announced prior to the event that there *would actually be* a stream.

This time around they haven't even done that. Here's hoping one will be available though...

That's a good point, but they'd still better post one not too long after it. Yeah also I was asking myself that question as well.

To wait for the post webcast after the live event? Or to read the text live?

I don't know it's a tough one.

[doutee]

I am super exicted to watch this thanks macrumors!!

Counting down the hours and minutes

[macnews]

Thank you Macrumors for keeping us up-to-date. Just hope the server can handle the load.

[Jmitch]

Yeah, but watch what? You mean read. You wont be watching anything until Apple (hopefully) posts a post quicktime webcast of the event. We're all crossing our fingers. There's going to be a lot of dissapointed Mac fans out there if Apple doesn't.

[rastafari]

says channel is full and I cannot join :(

Ya, I don't really understand this either. Mabey to sell more tickets to the WWDC kind of like local tv blackouts with sports teams..they are more than 1500 bucks afterall...

Maby someone at the event with an iSight could stream the event live for us...Any takers?

They have to edit out all the cuss words from Steve when he hooks up digital cameras and other devices to Tiger.

[Zaty]

An other thought as to why there is no stream: Could it be that Tiger is still in its early stages of development and Apple therefore doesn't want to show it off publicly yet? So perhaps, Apple we'll only show pieces of the keynote.

[Jmitch]

Yeah many people have suggested this, but if it is true, why wouldn't they just post it last minute when everyone already has their tickets?? Like NOW??

[netytan]

Ahhhh, the suspence :). Am gonna be glued to this screen all night at this rate!

[Soire]

Not that I was alive for it, but you know when the Beatles first appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and the whole country like shut down for a few minutes?

Well I'm guessing that productivity at all our respective work places is taking a serious hit for the next few hours. Ah well, what ya gonna do?

:)

[Zyote]

I'm almost certain apple will put the stream up.. theres no point doing it just yet, and i seem to recall that often they don't do it untill the last minute. at least it'll definately be up afterwards for us all to watch.

[netytan]

...Ah well, what ya gonna do?

LOL, fire your asses ;). about 1 hr 20 min to go by my calculations :D. Everyone hold onto your hats!

[Windowlicker]

Heres where the video will be when its up:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/wwdc04/

is it? I tried the link and got "page not found".

[Soire]

Just out of curiosity, has anything ever been released or updated with immediate shipping?? (At least has this happened in recent years?) :confused:


ps- We've passed zero barrier. Just try to log on to the Apple Store, or check an order- it can't be done. :o

[Zaty]

90 minutes to go, I'm so excited :)

As far as I can tell, about 400 users were disconnected, and then the remaining ones were as well. I can't connect either. This was all preceded with a "hope this doesn't cause too much trouble" statement :)

Come back to me MacRumors IRC! :D

[Buzzfish]

Just downlaoded the MacRumors client, thought I'd give it a shot, got into the IRC room for about 13 seconds, didn't do a damn thing and then got banned?

Can't log in anymore, oh well.

Didn't think I was THAT ugly!

lol, just thought I'd give a heads up

[network23]

*SIGH*

Stupid port lockouts.:mad: I can't use any IRC software. Firewalls won't let me out on those ports. I guess I'll just have to hope that macrumors can handle the traffic and the main html pages are updated frequently.

[CybrCyfr]

I have linked #macrumors on EFnet. This channel will be a one-way push from the irc.tecknohost.com channel. There is no channel limit...

Yeah, I got the same thing! Banned for reason: Die Bot. ?!
Is irc.krono.net pissed off that you're giving people mass access to your channel or something? What's going on?
Maybe you should move your channel to another server...

[Freg3000]

I just connected again at 11:38 EST.

[btrzcinski89]

Oh and I reocmmend Colloquy for an IRC client. Very iChat-ish.

[wdlove]
