I'm so excited. This is going to be a truly amazing event. I'm off to the shops soon to stock up on goodies for a viewing party I'm hosting. Anyone else hosting one today?

Wowee, that's dedication! I hope you all have a really great time! :)
 
To be fair, or not, the live streams from Apple that actually worked without a glitch are exceptions. Most of the time there's always an issue with watching these things live. So I'm not putting my hopes up. The mandarin dubbing was not a big issue last time, the stream constantly breaking was.
 
Me too, because Apple certainly will not repeat that disaster a second time. They are definitely able to top themselves!

This time, the livecast will be dubbed in Swahili and Ancient Greek, simultaneously. Also, the slides presented during the event will be upside down, and the faces of the presenting Apple executives will be overlaid with funny pictures of cats and random celebrities. At random intervals, rabid rats will be released onto the stage, and the "One more thing" final announcement will be the news that Carrot Top's new movie will be available for free on iTunes and will immediately be uploaded to every iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple TV, Mac and Newton.

if it is run by iOS 8.02, you may not be far off.
 
Give us a new Apple TV please with a app store.

I really believe the future of the :apple:TV lies in some kind of App Store. They can't continue just adding random channels to the home screen. Eventually there needs to be a coherent API and developer base who can make channels for just about anything and present them on an App Store. This would also let far more TV networks provide apps on the :apple:TV.
 
You're bonkers. Wait 5 hours and you'll likely see something faster, new, with a new design for the same price or less.

Bonkers I say, BONKERS.

No kidding. I'm pretty much over iPad's, never been a fan of AIO's like the iMac, but I do want an updated mini. I've been vacillating between an updated mini and a Surface Pro3. I don't need either one but my wife says I can have one or the other. I would prefer an updated mini so I can sell my MBA but still keep a vestige of OSX in my house. Without a mini update I'll hold on to my MBA and get a SP3.

In a little over 5 hours I will have my answer. I've waited this long, what's a few hours.

The viewing party is a great idea - to bad I have too be at an important meeting that I can't skip.

Microsoft used to host viewing/event parties - I remember back in the days when I got an invite (and attended) a Microsoft hosted Windows 95 event party.
 
You can't be serious.

Why? You can still watch a keynote if there's Mandarin dubbing. The english was still audible. But you can't watch a keynote if it's breaking every 30 seconds and you have to rebuffer and reload for 2 minutes to get it working again.

Now are you serious?
 
It's not a dream... its a reality....

Let's hope the stream doesn't act up like last time...

Users can hear a dub over the English ? I can too, but to be, its not exactly clear..

It's like two people talking an and say "oh ya, i know what he said"


No u can't :)
 
I'll miss it because of work! Hopefully there will be a spoiler free link to the finished keynote once it's on Apple's website.
 
I'm going to invite a Chinese friend to watch the event so if they don't provide a live translation like last time I'll be able to get it from him :cool:

If you have twitter you'll get tons of messages regarding the event, so don't open any social network app if you want to avoid any spoiler
 
Here's to hoping they announce something about Apple TV. I doubt it though

I doubt it too, I just hope we don't have to wait another 4 years for another new category. I'm not saying I want an abundance of new products, I just don't want to wait until 2018/2019 for a major Apple TV overhaul.
 
I would like to buy a Mac Mini and another Apple TV, so selfishly want a tech refresh in those areas :)
 
SIGH

This "we'll be back" nonsense on the Apple Store web site is really annoying when you want to order something (totally unrelated to whatever they're announcing), and they're pretending to be incompetent at managing the introduction of new SKUs on a retail web site like this.

They add, remove, and reprice items on their site every single day. There's no need to take the damn web site down for hours while people in time zones to the east of them wait for Tim to roll out of bed, drink his bespoke free-trade organic coffee, and make his way to the auditorium to announce a few new products, giving the go-ahead to put the new store up as he finally goes to lunch.

I just want to order a replacement for my dead Airport! Is that too much to ask?

amazon or best buy?
 
How the **** :)

How do I get a signature? ...

Hope tonight will bring something about AppleTV like local app's ... It needs it bad. Else the competition will run of with most of the users in small countries like Denmark, where all Android TV Boxes have all local apps - Here Apple TV has Netflix and YouTube and some fillers like a Korean App. Are they kidding me? Korean? :-O :-D
 
The online Apple Store is down. Can orders still be placed via telephone? Just got my eligibility restored today and would like to order the iPhone 6. Thanks.
 
If the store is down that means something will be available for sale today or at least pre-order?
