'It's Only Rock and Roll' Event Video Now Available

I just finished watching, and I have to say it was fairly moving. Good to see him back although let's admit it, he looks really old now. I guess I hate seeing him like that because it reminds me that I'm getting old as well 🙁

The green button that has switched to the mini player in every version of itunes no long does this. It only zooms the window. Kind of like how the windows version works. The only way to get the mini player now is to select it in the view menu or use the keyboard shortcut for it.

Not cool. There is no reason that just because we have feature parity with the windows version should it should work just like the windows version in every way.

Oh and home sharing seems to break regular sharing. Or maybe I don't have enough machines to see if the original sharing feature still works.

Where's the hi-def stream?

They always post it days later, probably to even out the pressure on their download servers a bit. There are currently two very very ugly streaming versions available. I hope the 800meg podcast version is at least around standard def...
 
He's back

Well, I stand corrected. I thought for sure that Steve would wait to retake the stage until the tablet announcement.

Gotta say, he might have looked frail, but he did have a firm "I'm back, the Cook thing is over now" type of tone, didn't he? 🙂

Jobs said since he had been away there were several projects at Apple that needed … then he stopped. Pogue said he asked him, “rescuing?” And Jobs said, well “polishing.”

Can you imagine the rant Steve must have gone on when he got back and saw that standards had dropped by even a hair? "I CAN'T LEAVE FOR A MINUTE WITHOUT YOU BOZOS SCREWING THINGS UP!!" 😀 I tremble to think what things will be like after he's not there to be Chief Quality Control Officer.

Am I the only one that had almost no problems downloading everything?😉 I got iTunes and 3.1 really quickly considering the pressure. I wish there was a higher def keynote vid, 480 is a bit small. I think he seemed much more energetic than before, especially during the Macbook event last fall. I like the way he does the speeches. Oh, and btw I really love the new iTunes GUI.
 
Did anyone notice how in past keynote addresses, Steve Jobs did not wear a belt, but in this one he did? Hopefully he will gain that weight back.
 
How soon is "soon"?

"We'll see you soon." How soon?

If the camera (and GPS?) on the iPod touch was/were delayed due to problems in production as has been rumored, do you guys think they could come out with another touch update within the next few months? Would they just wait until this time next year? I don't buy that they kept the camera (and GPS?) out to keep costs low. The nano has one and it's pretty cheap. How much would it add to the cost? 10%? Probably less than that. And it would be a killer feature. They'd sell tons more. I don't think they're deliberately gimping it to up-sell people to the iPhone either. So... When's the next update going to be? Is that the "soon" in "We'll see you soon"?

On the GPS, it'd be a killer feature too, but I have no clue how likely it would be. Does anyone know enough about the internals of the iPhone and of the touch to enlighten me on the likeliness of it?
 
It keeps saying 'Disconnected' for me when i try to watch it! Anyone else having this problem? And why does it come up with an error message (.. is not a file that Quicktime understands) when i click the 320 option on the Event's page?
 
me too

There sure was a lot of clapping for him at the beginning.

That seems to happen a lot in the US. People clapping for things like this, FAAAAAAR too long and just making the person on stage uncomfortable. It only seems to happen in America, we get it, you can stop clapping now.

Steve clearly wanted to start the event after 30 seconds or so, not listen to 3 minutes of brainless applause.

so wheres the tablet. after 4 years of waiting it looks like we are still going to be waiting.

Keep the fingers crossed for January! That being said though, Apple has never said that they're releasing a tablet. Just because the rumour mill hypes something up, doesn't mean it's ready for release or even a real product.

This event was hardly worth the mass media attention it received.

I don't think Apple can really take the blame for this though. The media work themselves up into a frenzy, and then act disappointed when the products they were hoping for aren't announced. In fairness, Apple only put out an invitation about a week ago, and made no announcements suggesting it was going to be a huge event.
 
One thing I'm not clear on - is the camera in the new nano ONLY for video, or will it take still shots as well? It's sounding like it's only for video.

Well, I'm not sure where you studied up on American clapping, but you're inaccurate. This WAS a long clap, it was a way for the crowd to show respect and appreciation. When the crowd didn't begin to break after 10 seconds of clapping, it just showed "Hey Man, we're REALLY glad to see you back" and he looked overwhelmed. Not unappreciative.
 
anyone else unable to watch the video?

I downloaded the podcast, the direct stream link and the other link on MR front page, but all the videos stop at around 30 seconds or so, whilst the clapping is still going on.

My system opened the QT files in QT7 by default (surprised me i thought the new version was default) so manually tried in the new one as well. still the same. 🙁
