Yup, and I believe that will be huge. Siri has really matured lately, and her next generation capabilities are right around the corner!
Siri on AppleWatch is amazing... For whatever reason works demonstrably better !
It isn't Quicktime, it is Apple's pseudo proprietary streaming protocol that they use.
" ... Apple uses HTTP Live Streaming technology (HLS) that is part of QuickTime, Safari, OS X, and iOS. It's a protocol implemented by Apple and suggested as a standard, but it's not one that many other companies have used widely ... "

The Edge browser gives in and and supports HLS. This doesn't work on other browsers on OS X either. ( iOS you have no choice but to use Safari or Safari's core engine with a slightly different interface on top)
There are a several clients ... not few that are in broad usage or well the cability well known.

Thanks for the link and info. I didn't know it was so difficult for PC users to live stream Apple events.
Yeah, we can't think about anything but Syria. Good to know. Let's see. What can I do about Syria? Nothing? Oh, ok. Guess my life can proceed about things I can control and that actually affect me imminently.
This has probably already been posted, but here's another of Siri's responses to the question, "Hey Siri, give us a hint."
Hilarious!!! I love Apple's sense of humor!

Most people know the event is happening but the real question should be does anyone other than Apple evangelists actually care about these events anymore?
The events were all right in their day but come on people things move on and there's precious little left to whoop and holler about anymore. I would personally prefer 30 minutes in the dentist chair than sit through another Apple event.

Can someone post some more Siri screenshots? The thread doesn't have enough
No mention about the iPad Pro? Interesting.
Will be interesting to see what they've done with the Apple TV, but I'll laugh if they don't announce a new Apple TV.

Speak for yourself, but actually a lot of people care about this event. More than ever have or ever will care about the likes of Microsoft's or Samsung's events. If you need any dental treatment (most people in the UK do) give me a pm, I have no qualifications, but I own a poor drill etc.Most people know the event is happening but the real question should be does anyone other than Apple evangelists actually care about these events anymore?

Please let's not resort to mindlessly copying years old Android features.. Lets hope we get something really innovative and original for a change..
