Apple WWDC 2006 Keynote Stream

I gotta ask:

What ever happened to "One More Thing"?

This keynote was kinda sad in a few ways, don't you think? I hope Apple is saving the coolest features still hidden at this point, like Steve pointet out... And Steve does look a bit ill...

Oded S.
 
What I'm doing is I used QT Pro and did File/Export and save as a Quicktime Movie. This way, it saves the file as it downloads and I can watch it tonight without the lag and jerkiness.
 
I just read the text transcript. I was sadly dissapointed that nothing I wanted got announced.
Even the things that I didn't really care about but would have been ultra cool to be mentioned didn't 🙁
 
"One more thing..." is (and should) only be used when Steve announces something very cool, and which would also be come kind of surprise.

Let's be honest.... the Mac Pro was not a surprise. Ok, the all-Quad config was, but the computer itself was not worth the "One more thing..." entrance, like the intro of the G5 in 2003 was.

Maybe a 42" Cinema Display, or Conroe iMac or Merom MacBook Pro could have been one...
 
Yeah the Keynote is down for me, it was very slow and choppy before, I got this message:

Oh well, I can wait...for now 😛 😀

If you get that to work, PutFile it or something....
 
Uh.. I need to d/l it

I need to figure out how to d/l it. I dont have internet at home yet and I would like to d/l it here at work and play it at home tonight.. anybody know how?
 
Just finished it with only a few hiccups.

Was disappointed in following the keynote via MR. Seeing the demos has me a bit excited now.

New iChat features look very cool and I don't chat.

Web Clip is very cool. I see uses for it at work already. Wish I used a Mac full time at work.

Spaces seems to be a very convenient way to get rid of clutter.

New Mail features might get me to finally adopt it and lose Entourage.

Time Machine was very cool.

Spotlight looks to be what we all wanted all along.

Oh well, we'll have to wait until Spring.
 
I've just watched the keynote video and Steve does look really ill to me..

He also didn't seem as prepared for the presentation as normal as he had to keep reading his notes.

Hope I'm wrong though..

Try reading the posts above yours??
 
It's probably because everyone is trying to watch it at the same time. I bet it would be better tomorrow. I was able to deal with the sound being off a bit. I can't wait to see what other features they will be including.

I third that 🙂

My feed has been stuck on the QT logo for over 20 mins now. Is it completely dead for other people too?

Yes. But I've been having streaming trouble for a couple months now.

I could not watch the whole thing due to it stopping.. but I saw 30 mins, and he only spoke for like 5 minutes, the rest was left to the other 3 people...Why ?
 
Remember that Steve had that brush with a "rare form" of pancreatic cancer 2 years ago. The 5 year survival rate for the more common form of pancreatic cancer is less than 5%. 🙁
 
Stream worked well for me - h.264 goodness all the way through - although it did stop a few times, pausing and restarting fixed that.

I changed my homepage to the Apple events last night, and forced myself not to look at any other web pages before I watched the whole stream. It would be like watching "the making of" a movie before watching the actual thing.
The surprises were much more exciting to watch the stream first 🙂
I'm actually really happy with what we saw, and that guy "Scott" who shared the feature demos with Steve was a very good speaker and presenter - perhaps Steve's sucessor? 😎
 
you would think by now they would have mastered the high demand keynote stream, but no, you'd be wrong. 🙄

How dare you suggest such a horrid thing 😱

But now that I think about it, I'll probably see Steve's death on CNN sometime in my lifetime. But let's at least hope he'll have a chance to retire first.
 
Good Things Come For Those Who Wait

The torrented MPEG-4 or H264 saved movies of the Keynotes that I have seen were captured using
screenshot-apps such as Snapz Pro. They usually weigh-in at approx. 160 MB for 90 minutes.

It usually takes a couple days for these to appear on Bit Torrent networks;
presumably the person doing the recording must wait for the stream traffic to
die down enough to get a clean, uninterrupted stream to work with.

At least that's my understanding of it...😎
