Does anyone know if there will be a C-Band satellite feed? I have found the keynote on wild feeds before, though those are getting harder to come by.
 
I don't know what to do. I have waited up past midnight for the last couple of keynotes and they were not worth it but this one looks like it will be. It'll be hard not to peak at 6pm to see what happens. Surely if any keynote deserves live streaming, this one does.
 
What exactly is a spoiler free keynote thread?

When Steve jumps on the stage and presents the tablet, the thread just reads: Steve jumps the stage. (and doesn't mention the tablet, so as not to spoil the surprise for everyone) ?
 
As a newbie to the spoiler-free stream, how long does it usually take for the stream to be uploaded??
 
What exactly is a spoiler free keynote thread?

Its a thread which doesn't tell you what's been announced and just gives a link to the quicktime movie when its posted on Apple's website ;).

As a newbie to the spoiler-free stream, how long does it usually take for the stream to be uploaded??

AFAIK a few hours. I don't normally watch it though :eek:.
 
A few hours is an understatement... we've been looking at 7-8h on the last couple of events.

Luckily, this thread's always mad as hell and it helps the (slow) passing of time. :)

So, here we go... and I have a feeling that history will be made once again!
 
The problem with the "spoiler-free" link is the bottom page which lists the recent news/rumors.

Here is the screenshot of the problem with that page

Patience has always been a problem with me...even on my nearly 27th year, I'm still having issues with it...I've been waiting for the macbook pro 17" refresh many many months so fingers are crossed that we'll see it on wednesday. It's been a long wait for my first mac!

Watching the keynote instead of constantly updating to see the next screen shot, or clicking through apple.com for the past couple keynotes hasn't been as fun as when I used to watch the streamed video's..

Here's hoping that the link will be posted in this thread (a PM would be even cooler!) and that people posting in here will please respect not to state facts and info about the keynote (I'm sure there are PLENTY of other threads to do that in) - I wanna watch this thing without any prior knowledge other than the thousands of rumors that have been piling in.
 
Greetings

Greetings fellow veterans.

And welcome to any spoilerfree rooks.

Here's to hoping the video will come out before midnight CET.
 
Hi, everybody!

Great to be back for a new Keynote, and it looks very promising: a tantalizing invitation, many rumors but somehow not that much information, a lot of chance for surprises. It's looking good.

Anyhow, this will be a tricky one for me personally. The Keynote starts at 7pm my time, which means the stream mostly comes up around midnight, one o'clock. However, this time I'm attending a 'nerd'-themed party hosted by a lovely girl-geek, but with a lot of non-geeks. So in the best case, we'll watch it together unspoiled, in the worst case, I get all the info right after the announcements.

Anyway, I couldn't imagine anything more geeky than being giddy as a schoolboy about a product announcement and begging everyone to shut up about the new apple product(s)

So, that's my introduction to the thread. In closing I'd like to add a few Spoiler-free etiquette rules for the ones who are new here:
-No information about anything announced or who is announcing. (duh)
-No information on AAPL stock
-No reactions, however cryptic ("it's definitly (not) worth the wait", for example)
-No fake links. Seriously. I will come to where ever you live and shove your iPhone were even Google can't find it.

-as for how long the keynote was, that seems to be considered a non-spoiler, if only to give us a clue at how long it will take to get the stream up. But correct me if I'm wrong.
 
Hello everyone!

This must be the most exciting keynote since the iPhone announcement 3 years ago. As usual, I'll be here to post the link to the video stream. However this time I'm preparing a little surprise, in hopes that it'll make waiting for the link to come up a little easier. Hopefully it'll be done by then.

See you on Wednesday. :)
 
I love being Spoiler-Free! It reminds me of the days where I would watch the keynote live on my PowerMac 6100 :)

I can't wait, I feel like sleeping over the next 3 days!

PowerMac 6100. That was my first. $1800 in 1995. Yikes. I don't even think that included the 15" Apple monitor.

Well, whoever posts the link for the keynote.....Thank you in advance!

Can't wait for that!

Although, I'll probably won't be here in the critical hours after the keynote.

Thanks a lot!

Definitely looking forward to that surprise! :D

I concur. To summarize: simply anything that is known to the world after 10am PT that wasn't before is forbidden.

Also: the link must be a direct link to be opened in QuickTime Player, not a link to a webpage (which could contain spoilers).

I think I'll invite some (non-nerdy) people over to my house for a nice dinner (keynote starting time is 7pm here), so that I don't have to constantly keep my mind off the event.

Great to have you here again!
And I'm definitely looking forward to that surprise. I love surprises :)
Thanks for your braveness!
 
Yay, my first spoiler-free keynote, heck, my first post here.
What an incredible coincidence I don't have lectures on thursday (I live on another side of the world, so stream should be posted in the middle of the thursday's night) :)
