Apple Posts Quicktime Stream Of Event, Apple Store Down

[iMeowbot]

Just a thought, not sure of the url.

http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/sep_2006/event/

Is this a typical url for apple.

edgesuite.net huuuuUUMM?

Yes, that's totally normal for Apple. They had a decent-sized investment in that company (Akamai) at one time.

 

[macbwizard]

Yup, that's a legit address

Check out http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/aug_2006/event/index.html which is a link to the WWDC keynote.

A few digg comments have stated that edgesuite is owned by akamai who scales traffic for apple.

What are the improvements we will see with itunes 7.0? Will it just be compatibil;ity for movies?

 

[rotatinglock]

Just checking , thanks guys for the followup on that url.

Wait, what button do I click on my WiFiPod™ to make this stream play? I don't understand the new interface!

Just navigate to the top level and select "Connect". Scroll down to "Wireless" et voila!

well this event will have nothing to do with the macbook....

 

[Klut]

I hope Steve will talk about the MacBooks, talking about how well it has sold, and then say something like "which is why, we will uppgrade both MacBook and MacBook Pro"

That would be funky.

 

[carfac]

nevermind.

dude take a look at the main page on macrumors - it would have been pretty easy to find out that it starts at 1 eastern

 

[aswitcher]

At least this means we're almost DEFINATELY seeing new hardware... though that's not new. Are all the international stores down? (Might be a hint of whether Apple's got this deal worked out for many countries?)

Yeah, all down.

For anyone who keeps getting the error message in QT

"Not Found"

Just hit fast forward and it should display
"Live Broadcast-Paused"

 

[YoNeX]

Great, now the stream won't load because the servers will be hammered.

 

[n-abounds]

Well if Apple is introducing a Movie Store, I'd hope that they have enough bandwidth to host their own introduction event...

 

[Goldfinger]

For up to the minute (literally) updates http://www.macrumorslive.com/

BTW: Does anyone elses live feed say not found? I'm running windows...traitor, I know.

Same here. I'm on XP Pro.

If it does end up being streamed "live" can you imagine the struggle everyone will have attempting to log on and watch. The drop outs on a non-live Apple event after they're posted is bad enough!

Can you imagine the server farm they are bringing online to handle movie downloads right now? Racks and racks of Xservers. Maybe bringing Google's CEO on board is to get access to Google's new network. Perhaps Apple thinks they can now handel streaming an event of this magnitude live without the bottlenecks.

Hey everyone.

I'm in school right now. Does the MacRumorsLive.com work on cell phones? The only free time I get is at lunch when we can use our cell phones?

Thanks everyone.

Fixed! Hit fast forward!

 

[lewion]

Xp pro with quicktime 7 here
But i sure hope they do a MacBook update in the store
That would just make me drool

Really i would i dunno uhm i would become poor if i have to to get that MacBook but then again i have parents who will pay it for me because it was my birthday 3sept lol

 

[Yoursh]

Update: Macrumors main page switched over to Macrumorslive

 

[carfac]

Hey-

Probably s stupid question, but with all the members here... and, what, 300 apple stores, no one has seen what is in the back rooms or anything of the apple stores?

 

[guffman]

Same here. I'm on XP Pro.

sad

Can't imagine it would, since it's self-refreshing etc. Not totally sure, though. Why not try it now to see?
