I could post the source code if there's enough demand for it. I just don't want everyone to laugh at my sloppy coding :p

well, you can send it to my email address if you want to. I'll even put the mirror online here too (not with 1s refresh of course), so your server doesnt have to swallow all the traffic alone ;-)

its: true at false dot ch :)
 
But Avatar's story sucked more. If there wasn't good graphics then no one would watch it; And for good reason. The way I describe Avatar is this:

It's like the studio's thought "Hey! Why don't we make a tech demo into a full length feature film! And while we're at it let's put in something environmental against Dubya!"

And while I agree with the environmental statement I don't need to be told it every single second in a film!

King Mook Mook

And about the keynote I thought of a quote from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory that applies to the wait.

The suspense is terrible... I hope it will last! :p

I had a feeling Avatar was way too hyped. I remember on IMDb it had a rating of 8.7 something and it wasn't even released in the cinemas. Whoever the hype machine was, it did a pretty damn good job.
 
CNN 20 minute delay...

Yes, it seems as though it does work. I can't get the video it from Australia though, so I don't know if they offer it on demand. Because even with a 20 minute delay, though, it will have ended. But the link works, and the video player pops up, it just tells me I'm not allowed to watch it...

Have you tried installing the plugin?
 
I'm back

... after 2 sweaty sessions of spinning and treadmill running... Glad to be back and see the forum in full swing. Thanks for the script Voidness.

From what I read I'm glad that it is 930pm over here. No work collagues talking about the new iwhatever. I'm safe in my appartment, isolated from the world. Girlfriend is away... I am as safe as you can get.

Kudos!
 
well said.

my girlfriend doesnt even know what a keynote is and doesnt care about apple at all (yeah, blasphemy, I know.. hehe). but what is making me crazy is that I cant visit any news site as I'm damn news addicted and usualy check any kind of news over and over again when I'm bored and dont know what to do.

gonna watch "blood diamond" now... will take about two hours, so maybe I'm lucky and will be able to see the stream then ;-)
 
Avatar is a beautifully simple and visually stunning story. I've seen it twice and I love it. There's no hype here, just pure cinema magic that allows you to "dream" - something quite rare nowadays!
 
UGHHH... My roommate just walked into my bedroom threatening to spill the beans. Everybody... lock your doors and blast your music. It's not safe out there!!!!

BTW, Here's the mix I created to listen to during the wait. Try and guess the theme:
Around the Bend, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour
What I'm Looking For, Brendan Benson
Jerk It OUt, Caesars,
Bruises, Chairlift,
Music Is My HOt HOt Sex, CSS
The Audience IS Listening Theme Song, Cut Chemist
1234, Feist
Exodus Honey, Honeycut
Dance Tonight, Paul McCartney
Who's Gonna Sing, The Prototypes
You, Me and the Bourgeoisie, The Submarines
Shut Up And Let Me Go, The Ting Tings
Love Train, Wolfmother
New Soul, Yael Naim


p.s.
The iTunes store is probably not safe. So don't try and look up any of these songs.
 
Crap

I woke up a few minutes ago, and I came directly to this thread to just check if the keynote was up. NOW I'M STUCK. I'm too nervous to know if I should spoil it or not. TRAPPED!

how much time you think we have?

omg what a coincidence, I all have all of those! I wonder why :p

What do you think's gonna be today's song?
 
Hmmm… so far mostly* spoiler-free!

Going to have to go and watch something I've recorded on the PVR - if I stay in front of my Mac i'm sure to click on some innocuous site by habit eg. BBC News, Yahoo!, etc. (I've almost clicked on MacRumors in the favourites bar so many times already!).

Have just instructed Mail to check every 5 minutes for new emails, so I'll see the notification message from MR when I pop my head back into the study.
Hopefully it'll be up before midnight (UK)… it's not just the waiting for the video, it's the fact that you then have to stay up to watch it! (anyone know how long the event was?)

Good luck to everyone else who's participating!

*didn't manage to avoid a spyshot submitted to MR earlier today : (

Enough time for me to finish working on my résumé and watch The Shawshank Redemption on Blu-ray - both of which I am about to do ahah.

Ooo... Good idea. Hmmm, I think the most prominent Indie band they haven't used yet is Vampire Weekend. So that'd be my guess. Something off their new album.
 
Hello from Holland here!! Pff come on with that keynote. In September it takes Apple 5 hours to put the keynote online. Hopefully its a little bit faster this time (its about 10.02 pm over here)... Until to get the time killed Im gonna watch some 24. I not gonna turn the TV on, maybe there is something in the news about the last keynote, or check my Twitter, Facebook ands RSS!! Pff Im excited!
BTW: Thanks for the spoiler-free keynote checker!
 
good evening ladies and gents. glad to join you all again. in previous nights I awaited while my new born child was born. but tonight I await with you to see the new apple child.

thank you macrumours for running this again ( why did it ever go!!!)

hey all, this is my first Spoiler-Free event, really itching to find out what's been going on, but I keep telling myself to wait!


Trust me, it's worth it. I always advise young people to 'just wait', because nothing can compare to experiencing it with a codec you love. (H.264)
 
@DyingSun Portugal here to:D

Lucky guys. My wife is from Portugal. Her family moved to the US when she was a child. Hopefully we can visit with our son someday. I'd love to try some real pasteis de nata from Belem.
 
You guys all have that widget that shows if the Apple Online Store is open, right?
I'm asking because we (someone who can actually code.. voidness?:rolleyes:) could do something similar to notice us when these keynotes are up.. what do you think?
