Apple, one the most successful technology companies of our time, can't figure out how to video live-stream an event.

Really bizarre.

Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Ubisoft, they all do it for E3 every year... yet Apple, with it's hundreds of billions of dollars, can't do it.

 

[GeekLawyer]

It's like Christmas comes twice this year.

(Or, counting actual Christmas, three times.)

 

[KSpider]

I feel like it has been 10 years since an apple live feed

 

[mac jones]

That building looks kinda low rent. Poor Apple must be hitting hard times

 

[OrangeSVTguy]

Don't know why I thought this was tomorrow lol.

Death of a Classic

Apple hasn't updated the iPod classic for a long time now. I am starting to believe that they might be killing it in an hour or two.

I hope there is a new iPad I have been holding out with my first gen.

A side note Apple had to release the iPhone 5 with the new lightning adapter before it could release anything else with one because it's become their flagship product. Now that the 5 is out the iPad Mini will not flop because of a different connector on it.

For any interested, come discuss in the IRC channel! irc.krono.net - #macrumors

prototype apparently last minute leak on 9to5mac looks oretty legit

 

[chrismarle]

Well I think it's normal that some of us complain about the lack of iMac refresh. Apple doesn't seems to care about it, sadly. Personally, I've been waiting one since last December or January. I won't pay the amount of cash that I am expecting to pay for 2011 hardware at a 2011 price in 2012.

Who said anything about them not figuring out how to live stream? The article says its the first time in 2 years since they've done one and I've watched many of the others before that.

Can't believe Apple with it's attention to detail is overlooking that the light bulbs in the C aren't working.

 

[ghostface147]

Why follow the live blog when I can stream it?

 

[RawBert]

This should be fun. Hopefully they'll live stream every event from now on.

 

[whitesand]

Can't wait!

Good that you have that expertise.

Let's hope Peewee Herman is not invited.

 

[AQUADock]

Why follow the live blog when I can stream it?

Because some people have slow capped internet.
