I understand your point, I have just done this long enough to know that it is unrealistic to think the conversation WON'T center on the keynote. (See, we are STILL talking about it!)

In short it is an internet connection via fiber optics. Compared to what the US is used to the speeds are very fast, but it has only been rolled out in certain areas.

You know, I am so mad, and here's why.
I just got my first iPod Touch a couple months ago, after just being able to afford it, so this is my first Apple Event that I was soooo excited about! And I didn't know anything at all about it, so for some reason, I thought it would be broadcast live by Apple on their website. Such an idiot!!!
So I skipped school for nothing...=/...

Apologies
I can see someone's been deleting comments from myself and 'miazma', so just wanted to say sorry, didn't mean to offend/start a war. We're all here for the same reason.
Peace

Hello everyone!
As I promised, I have a small surprise for you spoiler-free veterans.I bring you, the Spoiler-Free Keynote Checker*! It's a script I put together that'll automatically check Apple's website for the keynote stream, and it'll post a spoiler-free link directly on the page. It'll save us from frantically clicking the reload button for hours! The script checks both the Quicktime stream and the iTunes podcast.
Keep in mind this is still in beta, and I would appreciate your feedback.
* Patent Pending.
sounds good... i love the website... thanks for everything void!
aaaah. far away from what I have over here at home. 20Mbps, but still fast enough for my needs.
Thanks for the warning! The CNN app did the same thing to me, but I hit the home button before I could read what it said.
Anyone has some good ideas about "teasing yourself"?
That is, finding some information about the keynote which doesn't reveal anything in particular? Example of that would be a blurry keynote slide with some number and nothing more, so you could just speculate what that number means.
Or extremely blurry image of Jobs holding something. So you could imagine unicorns and stuff flying around that glorious piece of blurry somethingness.

as far as I'm concerned even confirming that Steve is on stage is a spolier. Talking about potentional names of possible products should be a no brainer - we don't want it. What should we do? Have a totally spoiler free thread and a 'mostly' spolier free thread? There should be a pop up box that appears before posting you have to click thru that asks ARE YOU GOING TO RUIN PEOPLES EVENING!
Void, gawd bless you. I'm now switching to your refreshing page before people start 'helpfully' posting other stuff!

What a wonderful surprise, Master Voidness!
(although I must confess I was expecting something to entertain us during the long wait
Here, free Tetris.

Go nuts. Haha.
If that proves too easy, you can always try first person tetris, its a bit of a mind flay until you get the hang of it.

Whohhooa, that is seriously freaking sweet!! That's the first time I've heard of that, so when I turned my first piece I was like,
!!! Haha, my brother in the next room asked me why I was laughing so hard!
That is pretty awesome!
Here's another game my friends and I have been playing, I think one of their best is 22 (before you click on it, I can't promise there won't be adds so either zoom in or look away!):

That's insane!
Actually I'm finding it hard to focus on anything else, other than staring at my iMac waiting for the thing to appear... oh dear, it's only 8PM GMT...
So void is now lazy? Having a script check the Apple site for him?
j/k void, thank you very much!
j/k void, thank you very much!
if it was open source I'd put it on my own server and let it refresh every second for personal use
