I hope the Apple TV channel appears soon. Last time, I realized about 15 minutes before the keynote that I need to update my Apple TV, and then the update took about an hour, probably due to server overload.
Got a tip for us?

Working from home Thursday this week due to staffing, but I will be back before 5pm, with beer in hand, and a phone call to a pizza place not far away.
7pm would be better though, so I have extra time to get the lube ready.
Wait... What?!
That pizza and beer isn't going to sit will with HealthKit.

Perhaps.. just perhaps, the rumors and "leaks" are not accurate this time

It's quite logical really. Only so many people can be on the stream before it crashes, so Apple needs to limit the audience somehow. Given that there's an upper limit to people who can view it, how would you select your audience if you were in that position? Limit it to people on your services because that's your core audience. Id rather exclude PC users who are "meh" on my brand in order ensure that the true fans are satisfied. Trying to satisfy everyone satisfies no one.
Businesses purposefully limit their audience all the time so that their resources aren't overwhelmed. Think Nigerian prince schemes made to sound ridiculous as a way to exclude anyone even remotely internet savvy from wasting the scammer's time. It's related to the economic concept called Adverse Selection.
It's not even so much of a joke for me. Apple could just put up the ordering page right now, and I would order the 4.7" iPhone 6 in space grey with 64 Gig without even checking any of the features, because from all the rumors so far, I know that I want it. Any additional features that it might have are just icing on the cake. And I do suspect that Apple still has some iOS 8 tricks up their sleeve specifically targeted towards the iPhone 6. It's usually the case. So there's probably more to like than what we know so far.
And no, I am not one of the 0.5% who will be upset if it turns out that the lines will really be there, and the camera will really protrude.
I don't know why people are saying apple has hyped it up.... they gave sent invitations and show a count down on thier page. Hardly massive hype.
The hype seems to come from places like mac rumors.
I am already readying myself for 'the flood of 'dissapointing' and 'underwhelming' comments.

Hi,
I don't post on here often but the hype is well and truly with me in the UK. Just hope work goes quick tomorrow so get to see event just after I finish work
I am working from home so by 6pm Uk time, I will have fired up the ATV with a beer in one hand and pizza in the other
From my computer, the Apple clock is now a few seconds faster.
I feel like an idiot for only now figuring it out... Tomorrow Apple is rolling out the iRipInTheTimeSpaceContinuim. Tomorrow they roll out time travel. And their web site is the beta.
It's staring us right in the face.
Is this event seem like an unusually big deal for Apple? It seems like it, I dont know Apple history to a T but I dont remember this much preparation and attention given to an event.
I don't think Apple has ever redirected a website with such huge traffic to a keynote.
I just hope that all the hype is worth it and they will announce more than just the 4.7" IPhone to be ready for release next week.
"Live video from our special event will be right here. And so will a whole lot more."
A whole lot more what? What?? The product line-up after the event? Documents proving who really killed Kennedy? The alien autopsy protocols from Area 51? A message from Jimmy Hoffa? The original handwritten constitution of West Dakota? A video of Phil Schiller swimming up Niagara Falls?
What? What could live up to this hype? A *********g whole lot more of what? For *******'s sake, Apple! If you guys disappoint me tomorrow, I will never be excited for anything ever again (or at least not for the next couple of days or so).

Isn't it usually two hours, or close to it? I believe last years was about an hour and a half, and the keynote for the iPhone 5 was about 1:55.
As I noted before, and I will say it again...
My genitals are ready
You do realize this is an iWatch not an iRing.
But if it fits you... dayum!
Just had to comment here as I'm a big fan of yours, Icculus. (I've read the book…)
Can't wait to see what the white building next to the Flint Center is actually for.
Please read the whole thread.
I'd rather not, just to respond to one post.
Was that some joke or something? Just trying to provide factually relevant information.
