[Godzilla71]

watching the url link one now.

[thegoldenmackid]

Guess that truck outside wasn't so fast afterall.

[DaftUnion]

That podcast video is downloading ridiculously slow! It says it's gonna take 5 hours to download it on a cable line.

Hopefully later tonight/tomorrow morning it should go faster.

[.Andy]

Good to see him back up there. And he's not looking too bad which is even better to see :).

[DaftUnion]

Wow. Ok make that 8 hours now. Don't even bother with it for now.

[sananda]

That podcast video is downloading ridiculously slow! It says it's gonna take 5 hours to download it on a cable line.



Says 6 hours here.

[Jigsawjammer]

He did mention "new" products

[twoodcc]

thanks! i'm downloading the file now. better than streaming. i'll watch it tomorrow after it's done downloading

[Godzilla71]

I just clicked on the http://movies.apple.com/datapub/us/podcasts/apple_keynotes/sept2009_event.m4v link and it started right up. no DL waiting at all. :confused:
so maybe try that.

[arn]

Here's the QuickTime stream

[Pika]

WOW 1 He got a liver from a 20 years old boy who died in a car crash accident.

[Feng Shui]

He sounds tired, but definitely gained some weight, which is a good sign.

[Bad Paper]

He looks and sounds like death warmed over. just sayin

[SirOmega]

Steve seemed rather contrite during the first part - he perked up when he started talking about great new products though.

He does look a bit better too. It might be the white balance but he looked like he had got some sun. I don't know if thats from the immuno-supressive drugs people typically take after transplants (he could be more sensitive to sunlight).

[applealex]

downloading it soon. I have to get 3.1.1 soon

[Mac4Brains]

so wheres the tablet. after 4 years of waiting it looks like we are still going to be waiting.

[dudemac]

The green button that has switched to the mini player in every version of itunes no long does this. It only zooms the window. Kind of like how the windows version works. The only way to get the mini player now is to select it in the view menu or use the keyboard shortcut for it.

Not cool. There is no reason that just because we have feature parity with the windows version should it should work just like the windows version in every way.

Oh and home sharing seems to break regular sharing. Or maybe I don't have enough machines to see if the original sharing feature still works.

thedude

[jaw04005]

It’s sort of miraculous considering he had a transplant less than five months ago.

David Pogue was on CNBC today talking about his interview with Jobs. He said Jobs said since he had been away there were several projects at Apple that needed … then he stopped. Pogue said he asked him, “rescuing?” And Jobs said, well “polishing.”

He hinted that there would be additional announcements soon.

Or hold down “option” and click the green button. :D

TOh and home sharing seems to break regular sharing. Or maybe I don't have enough machines to see if the original sharing feature still works.

The original sharing feature still works fine. Blue shares are for sharing only (like before), and the new orange shares are for sharing and copying.

[toujames]

So here is a lesson, don't be stingy and donate your organs, it could save an important person's life (steve jobs):D seriously ppl, be generous


anyways, can't wait for the future.

[Stuart in Oz]

He looks healthier than before - definitely put on some weight. Also, remember, the camera always makes you look worse than you are.

I think his hoarse voice probably adds to the overall 'unwell' picture - but that could just be a sore throat, or having been talking all week in meetings.

Obviously he's not in the prime of fitness, but none of us would be after what he's been through the last five years.

Respect for the man - his drive to keep working is something.

[WannaGoMac]

Where's the hi-def stream?

[dudemac]

Or hold down “option” and click the green button. :D





Thanks for the tip :rolleyes:

thedude

[CFreymarc]

I never though I would say this but Steve looks like a shadow of his former self. I'd love to see what he is like in private meetings. Hope he still has that same productive temper he had in the past.

[klrobinson999]

I see that support for Twitter and FaceBook is there in the drop down of the albums on iTunes 9. I don't recall them making note of this in the presentation.

[pondosinatra]

I just finished watching, and I have to say it was fairly moving. Good to see him back although let's admit it, he looks really old now. I guess I hate seeing him like that because it reminds me that I'm getting old as well :(

[alexbates]

Glad to see Steve is doing good :) There sure was a lot of clapping for him at the beginning.

[queshy]

Anyone know the name of the song in the iPod nano ad?

yes and the new iTunes design looks really weird

[doctoree]

Where's the hi-def stream?

They always post it days later, probably to even out the pressure on their download servers a bit. There are currently two very very ugly streaming versions available. I hope the 800meg podcast version is at least around standard def...

[automan98]

This event was hardly worth the mass media attention it received.

[TheSlush]

Well, I stand corrected. I thought for sure that Steve would wait to retake the stage until the tablet announcement.

Gotta say, he might have looked frail, but he did have a firm "I'm back, the Cook thing is over now" type of tone, didn't he? :)

Jobs said since he had been away there were several projects at Apple that needed … then he stopped. Pogue said he asked him, “rescuing?” And Jobs said, well “polishing.”

Can you imagine the rant Steve must have gone on when he got back and saw that standards had dropped by even a hair? "I CAN'T LEAVE FOR A MINUTE WITHOUT YOU BOZOS SCREWING THINGS UP!!" :D I tremble to think what things will be like after he's not there to be Chief Quality Control Officer.

[iMaggot]

Glad to see Jobs :D , now let me DL iTunes 9.

[designgeek]

Am I the only one that had almost no problems downloading everything?;) I got iTunes and 3.1 really quickly considering the pressure. I wish there was a higher def keynote vid, 480 is a bit small. I think he seemed much more energetic than before, especially during the Macbook event last fall. I like the way he does the speeches. Oh, and btw I really love the new iTunes GUI.

[aznkid25]

Did anyone notice how in past keynote addresses, Steve Jobs did not wear a belt, but in this one he did? Hopefully he will gain that weight back.

[peterdevries]

30 hours remaining to download the video :eek:

[georgemann]

Here is my view of the sad "Event" (sorry too long to post here), I have been an Apple user for 25 years and will continue to do so, but I sure hope they don't get sidetracked too much on becoming a "gaming" company.

[DrFrankTM]

"We'll see you soon." How soon?

If the camera (and GPS?) on the iPod touch was/were delayed due to problems in production as has been rumored, do you guys think they could come out with another touch update within the next few months? Would they just wait until this time next year? I don't buy that they kept the camera (and GPS?) out to keep costs low. The nano has one and it's pretty cheap. How much would it add to the cost? 10%? Probably less than that. And it would be a killer feature. They'd sell tons more. I don't think they're deliberately gimping it to up-sell people to the iPhone either. So... When's the next update going to be? Is that the "soon" in "We'll see you soon"?

On the GPS, it'd be a killer feature too, but I have no clue how likely it would be. Does anyone know enough about the internals of the iPhone and of the touch to enlighten me on the likeliness of it?

[lpshean]

It keeps saying 'Disconnected' for me when i try to watch it! Anyone else having this problem? And why does it come up with an error message (.. is not a file that Quicktime understands) when i click the 320 option on the Event's page?

[peerapon]

seem that link on podcast missed too.

in podcast xml file still point to old link

but the link is already dead. about 15 mins ago.

[stevearm]

There sure was a lot of clapping for him at the beginning.

That seems to happen a lot in the US. People clapping for things like this, FAAAAAAR too long and just making the person on stage uncomfortable. It only seems to happen in America, we get it, you can stop clapping now.

Steve clearly wanted to start the event after 30 seconds or so, not listen to 3 minutes of brainless applause.

[Bjohnson33]

so wheres the tablet. after 4 years of waiting it looks like we are still going to be waiting.

Keep the fingers crossed for January! That being said though, Apple has never said that they're releasing a tablet. Just because the rumour mill hypes something up, doesn't mean it's ready for release or even a real product.

[Bjohnson33]

yes and the new iTunes design looks really weird

I think so too, but anything new looks weird. Give it a week or two and iTunes 8 will probably start looking old!

[Bjohnson33]

This event was hardly worth the mass media attention it received.

I don't think Apple can really take the blame for this though. The media work themselves up into a frenzy, and then act disappointed when the products they were hoping for aren't announced. In fairness, Apple only put out an invitation about a week ago, and made no announcements suggesting it was going to be a huge event.

[Bjohnson33]

One thing I'm not clear on - is the camera in the new nano ONLY for video, or will it take still shots as well? It's sounding like it's only for video.

[BillyBobBongo]

so wheres the tablet. after 4 years of waiting it looks like we are still going to be waiting.

Why would you even been expecting them to announce it!? It's an 'music' event. These events are purely to talk about iPods and iTunes.

Well, I'm not sure where you studied up on American clapping, but you're inaccurate. This WAS a long clap, it was a way for the crowd to show respect and appreciation. When the crowd didn't begin to break after 10 seconds of clapping, it just showed "Hey Man, we're REALLY glad to see you back" and he looked overwhelmed. Not unappreciative.

[ogee]

I downloaded the podcast, the direct stream link and the other link on MR front page, but all the videos stop at around 30 seconds or so, whilst the clapping is still going on.

My system opened the QT files in QT7 by default (surprised me i thought the new version was default) so manually tried in the new one as well. still the same. :(


Suggestions?

Damn the iTunes link won't work for me, anybody else having this issue?

[arkitect]

Same here… since this morning, no go.
UK as well.

[zali0n]

I wonder if there is an alternative link to download it from, one that isn't streaming. I want to watch it offline at work :)

I disagree. Americans tend to over-lengthen their clapping rituals more than most, to the point of it just being annoying and uncomfortable for the person involved. I see it all the time.

This just went on FAR too long, 30 seconds, great, what seemed like 2 or 3 minutes? Dear god no. Served no purpose, the message and sentiment was clear after half that time.

You could tell Jobs (and most people) just want to get on with it, hence his multiple 'thank you....''s where he seemed very keen to start the presentation. The room would have probably continued brainlessly clapping for another few minutes if SJ hadn't told them to shut up with his body language.

[lpshean]

Nope don't think there is! I've tried the link on the quicktime apple events page all day long from 9.30am UK time and even until now (2pm) it keeps saying Disconnected.

[guzhogi]

For those people complaining about Apple no longer supporting PPC users, Apple also posted a link for iTunes 8.2.1 for G3:

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipod_itunes/itunes821forg3.html

To be honest, I'm a little surprised Apple did this. Wouldn't they think G3s are "Too old" considering they can't even run Leopard. Some can run Tiger, though.

Now if they'd just release a version that runs on PPC 601 chips and OS 8.1.

[ken694]

1) iTunes doesn't download the podcast: it stops right at the beginning saying done. And yes, I deleted my downloads folder in the iTunes Music folder.

2) the direct link doesn't work, it only downloads 1.6 MB and stops there (the file is corrupt)

3) the QuickTime stream is a joke, for every second of play there are 5 of buffering, even at 320

Are you guys having better luck?

Never had a problem in the past downloading these keynotes, in fact I can download the WWDC 09 one from iTunes right now at full speed if I want to.

I'm from Italy

[Full of Win]

Underwhelming

Where are those new and exciting products? I'm getting a little tired of this bunting that Apple has been doing as of late.

[zali0n]

I think they may have removed the podcast, there link is here (http://movies.apple.com/datapub/us/podcasts/apple_keynotes/sept2009_event.m4v) which no longer works. See for yourself, it won't open in Quicktime or anything else :/

Google "american proxy" and enjoy your keynote

There are only two other events that I can remember this happening at:

The Return of Steve Jobs in 1997

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEHNrqPkefI#t=04m47s

Jobs accepts the permanent CEO position in 2000

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgHtKFuY3bE

[guzhogi]

Now if they'd just release a version that runs on PPC 601 chips and OS 8.1.

I was hoping more for 6502 on a Apple ][.

Steve Jobs said he hoped we could all be as generous as his liver donor. For U.S. residents, choose your state (http://www.donatelife.net/CommitToDonation/) at donatelife.net to learn how to sign up in your state. If you live in California like me (and Steve), go to Donate Life California (http://www.donateLIFEcalifornia.org/).

Tell your friends to buy a Mac and to sign up for organ donation! :)

Yeah I tried to download it from Apple too. I managed to download few megs and after that download was cut short everytime :(

I had to search alternative source and torrents saved the day once again.

[swagi]

I know, it's hard to beat the iPod HiFi announcement, but this one...

...I'm still asking myself who the hell has written Phil Schiller's speech. That guy does not only have the charisma of a rotten apple but also is full of BS. Touting the iPod touch as gaming device is o.K. for me, but really daring to compare it to the DS Lite and the PSP - gee, you have to be full of ***** to do that.

And I started wondering: Haven't Apple learnt anything from the console wars?

It is plainly not about the features, the gfx or the processor power. It's about the games, stupid. As for any reference, check out this generation of console wars - the weakest of them all has won hands down (the Wii).

So wake me up, when Apple has sold 27 million iPod touches in Japan (count for DS Lite) or 12 million (count for PSP).

Anyone in for an online petition to throw Phil Schiller of the board?

So far no luck with viewing the damn "Special Event"…

When I try Apple's links, Quicktime keeps returning an error:

A network error has occured
This computer's Internet connection appears to be online. (-66559)

And with iTunes podcasts the download stops with an ! after a few MBs.

Any idea what could be the problem?

So here is a lesson, don't be stingy and donate your organs, it could save an important person's life (steve jobs):D seriously ppl, be generous


anyways, can't wait for the future.

Did you know that if you and another person are laying on a bed dying, and you are an organ doner and the other isnt, and you have a 25% chance to live and the other has a 60% they will go for the other person first. That's why I'm not an organ doner. I do commend people who are because that is very generous and kind-hearted but if I have a family and kids at that point I need to think about them before I think about the person next to me.

That's not true. And it's the number one myth of organ donation. :rolleyes:

Myth: If emergency room doctors know you're an organ donor, they won't work as hard to save you.

Fact: If you are sick or injured and admitted to the hospital, the number one priority is to save your life. Organ donation can only be considered after brain death has been declared by a physician. Many states have adopted legislation allowing individuals to legally designate their wish to be a donor should brain death occur, although in many states Organ Procurement Organizations also require consent from the donor's family.
