Apple's Jan 27 Media Event - Spoiler-Free Thread

Come on!

This is killing me, no doubt when it is up the links going to get bombarded and lag like HELL!

It'll all be worth it!!

Thanks, I appreciate that :)

If anyone's interested in seeing how the page is going to look like once the stream is up, here's a screenshot showing the links to last September's event.

what were the different links to? Various resolutions or mirrors?

Oh, God! What the hell has this discussion come to... now we're having religious conversations...

well... I know many people who have the opinion that discussing about apple with their users always sounds like religious conversations. so we might be just in the right place to discuss about religions ;-)
 
sheesh. i'm going to need therapy after this.

disappointment comes when the link's too busy to use for another fifty hours or so.

Naw man...they're releasing a revolutionary new kind of personal fragrance called Eau de Matic (Steve's been dropping hints about it for years)! It uses sophisticated sensors in the docking cradle and software on the PC or Mac to formulate a fragrance uniquely suited to each person, then the actual dispenser unit uses technology derived from inkjet printers to accurately mix it from several base components on-the-fly. It'll turn the whole cosmetics industry on its head. I know I've been saying it for a few years now, but hell, if Apple can push out a you-know-what after all these years of rumours, this one's a shoo-in! :p

Just to confirm, the stream isn't up yet. I'm checking Apple's website manually in case there's a bug in my script. Also, keep in mind that the script is checking both the Quicktime stream and the iTunes podcast.

Can you have the script play a sound the moment it's there? That way, I can go to sleep until it wakes me with the long awaited link :)

Now you tell me... I've been refreshing that podcast like crazy for the past couple of hours! :)

I did mention that when I first posted the link to my script :)

Yes, they're different resolutions and apparently there's an audio stream. However, when Apple first posts the stream, it's only available in one resolution (or so I think). The script will post whatever links it'll find.

a very loud repeating alarm would be the way to go. that way, I could just use it as an alarm clock to wake me up as soon as the stream is online ;-)

Ah, that's a good idea. But I won't mess up with the script now, I fear I might break something. Maybe next time :)

Thanks Void for the link, we really do appreciate it. If you don't mind a fellow web dev asking....if you run live stats how many uniques are hitting that page for curiosity sake?
