Technicality, but there may be some areas that do not observe daylight savings time (like Arizona).

To everyone with problems with the exact hour:
Just look at the homepage of macrumors. The remaining hours and minutes are shown. Calculate from there, then you're always right.
Example:
When I write this message, it's 2 o'clock in the night in West Europe.
At the homepage, it says only 17 hours left.
So 2.00h + 17.00h = 19.00h. Meaning at 7 o'clock in the evening in my time zone, I have to start watching at Apple's site. Calculate it for your own.
Have fun!
Great, I never noticed the remaining hours were shown there, thanks!
So... I'm just kinda thinkin' the fact that they are doing this... Makes me think big news is coming... news i've been waiting 3 years to hear.
Made my day. lol.
No, Apple just learned how to stream live video. Good for them. The rest of the world have been doing this for years.

Nah if anything it's good for us since we don't get invited to these standalone media events.

I also think that this is done in order to show of their HTTP Live Streaming thingie for the first time and demonstrate that it is able to serve streams to a huge amount of viewers... This will probably be used to stream movies from iTunes or on the new iTV soon. And that's prolly what that datacenter they built is all about.

Jeez. It's so simple people.
Use the clock widget and set it to Cupertino.
When the clock says 10AM it's time. You can easily calculate it right now.

Then why won't the stream work on 10.4 Macs with Safari 4? It seems to me that h.264 and HTML5 isn't the only problem, maybe there are also some HD playback limitations and DRM.
Umm, it's pretty simple, it requires the latest version of QuickTime since it has new streaming capabilities that Apple wants to use. If they made it compatible with older QuickTime it would likely cause the stream to crash.
Retirement
Steve will annonce brand new products,! iTV,new iPods, streaming, 7" iPad, iLife, the end of Mac OSX and then he'll get personal and say that he's devoted his life to Apple and the consumers of his life changing products. He'll say that this is the roadmap that he invasioned all these years and that the team he's leaving in charge know the rest of the roadmap and will carry Apple the rest of the journey. He'll cry and then close curtain.

Which particular piece of speculation is everyone so excited about? I must be missing something.
Some people are excited that Apple have finally mastered the way to stream live video (wrong reason - old news really) but most are probably excited to be able to finally see his majesty Steve Jobs live
Ofcourse you should blame Apple, they are the ones doing it.
This thread is baffling.
apple did it until 2004. But they couldn't do it because their were too many viewers. It's not like some Android Event when only a few nerds are viewing id.
