When the new macbooks / macbook pros become available in the shops will the student discount apply from their launch or do apple not offer the discount for a while? Will the reduced price apple care still be available? I am in the UK and was wanting to buy a new mbp with the student discount and was wondering if I would have to wait for a time.
Thanks
 
live blog i believe, i wasn't aware anyone did live video from apple events

Damn. Just the way you said "live steam" got my hopes up. Ah well, it's nice to have 3 live blogs going at once until it gets interesting - various wordings of "audience wait to be seated" for 30 minutes. :D
 
UK Retail Stores

At least most of you guys only have to wait to Tues. Down here, down under, in New Zealand we have to wait to Weds morning, at some unearthly hour, to find out.

The launch at Apple HQ in the US is at 10am PST right. This would mean that its roughly 4-5pm UK GMT time. I can't see them unveiling the notebooks (Glasgow retail store) seen as they close at 6pm. They would probably just roll them out the next day. Either that or they will have the demo notebooks on the tables and say they can only sell them after a certain time (like they done with Leopard).

I was watching gizmodo's liveblog for September's ipod event, and it was great. Those guys have a great sense of humor too, for a bunch of massive nerds ;)
 
I agree, the Gizmodo coverage was great. Very entertaining and informative.

Haha "where is john mayer?" they made the garbage that was lets rock entertaining. But I still couldn't bother reading it all it was so craptastic.

Lets hope for the sake of Apple that they actually release something good. I bet SJs job is on the line.
 
Does anyone know how long after they post the keynote on the apple site??

Make a bookmark to the following URL

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv

That URL usually points to the newest uploaded Apple event (currently the September special event). I keep that bookmarked as I like to watch the keynotes "spoiler free" whenever possible.

yeah that gizmodo dude was hilarious. Certainly kept me entertained especially just before event started:cool:
 
I think I read somewhere that Gizmodo or Engadget (one of them) was doing a live stream. I dunno though.

Yeah, Engadget will be there. They will post on the day for the live feeds and you just click the post and it will show the live messages, no auto-reloading so get those fingers ready!

No one does live video streaming of Apple keynotes. You will be able to find some live audio streams, but they all suck goat ass. The source is usually some loud mouth-breather on a laptop and 90% of what you hear is the geek typing since the microphone used is the built-in laptop mic.

In the past, the education discount has always applied to new products, but then nothing is ever certain.
 
Folks, say there was a bluray option in the new 'puters - can anyone tell me if typically b' drives are back compatible with regular dvd and cd burning/playing.
Playing, yes. Burning, not the very low-end models ($100), but most of them ($140+) do.
 
Itinerary :

• Stocks are tanking due to evil Republicans. Don't worry - the Democrats have it all under control and are going to bail out more parties, I mean companies.

Now to the products...

• New Minis. They are better, because they have aluminum on the case.
• New Cinenema Displays. They are better because they have rounded aluminum on the casing.
• New Mac Books and Mac Book pros. They are better because they all have aluminum somewhere.
• New iMacs coming in December. They are better because they have aluminum on the casing.

• John Mayer.

• One more thing.... buy these products. Thank you.
