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

I wonder if there is an alternative link to download it from, one that isn't streaming. I want to watch it offline at work :)

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.

I disagree. Americans tend to over-lengthen their clapping rituals more than most, to the point of it just being annoying and uncomfortable for the person involved. I see it all the time.

This just went on FAR too long, 30 seconds, great, what seemed like 2 or 3 minutes? Dear god no. Served no purpose, the message and sentiment was clear after half that time.

You could tell Jobs (and most people) just want to get on with it, hence his multiple 'thank you....''s where he seemed very keen to start the presentation. The room would have probably continued brainlessly clapping for another few minutes if SJ hadn't told them to shut up with his body language.

Nope don't think there is! I've tried the link on the quicktime apple events page all day long from 9.30am UK time and even until now (2pm) it keeps saying Disconnected.
 
1) iTunes doesn't download the podcast: it stops right at the beginning saying done. And yes, I deleted my downloads folder in the iTunes Music folder.

2) the direct link doesn't work, it only downloads 1.6 MB and stops there (the file is corrupt)

3) the QuickTime stream is a joke, for every second of play there are 5 of buffering, even at 320

Are you guys having better luck?

Never had a problem in the past downloading these keynotes, in fact I can download the WWDC 09 one from iTunes right now at full speed if I want to.

I'm from Italy
 
Underwhelming

Where are those new and exciting products? I'm getting a little tired of this bunting that Apple has been doing as of late.
 
I think they may have removed the podcast, there link is here which no longer works. See for yourself, it won't open in Quicktime or anything else :/

There are only two other events that I can remember this happening at:

The Return of Steve Jobs in 1997

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEHNrqPkefI#t=04m47s

Jobs accepts the permanent CEO position in 2000

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgHtKFuY3bE
 
Steve Jobs said he hoped we could all be as generous as his liver donor. For U.S. residents, choose your state at donatelife.net to learn how to sign up in your state. If you live in California like me (and Steve), go to Donate Life California.

Tell your friends to buy a Mac and to sign up for organ donation! :)
 
"This clip shows him walking on stage at today's event:"

No he was levitating across the stage. Were you awake during the presentation?
 
Yeah I tried to download it from Apple too. I managed to download few megs and after that download was cut short everytime :(

I had to search alternative source and torrents saved the day once again.
 
Worst Keynote Ever

I know, it's hard to beat the iPod HiFi announcement, but this one...

...I'm still asking myself who the hell has written Phil Schiller's speech. That guy does not only have the charisma of a rotten apple but also is full of BS. Touting the iPod touch as gaming device is o.K. for me, but really daring to compare it to the DS Lite and the PSP - gee, you have to be full of ***** to do that.

And I started wondering: Haven't Apple learnt anything from the console wars?

It is plainly not about the features, the gfx or the processor power. It's about the games, stupid. As for any reference, check out this generation of console wars - the weakest of them all has won hands down (the Wii).

So wake me up, when Apple has sold 27 million iPod touches in Japan (count for DS Lite) or 12 million (count for PSP).

Anyone in for an online petition to throw Phil Schiller of the board?
 
At last !!! Finally managed to download the keynote. I've uploaded it to rapidshare so anyone who wants the links, just send me a pm since I think I'm not allowed to do this public
 
So far no luck with viewing the damn "Special Event"…

When I try Apple's links, Quicktime keeps returning an error:

A network error has occured
This computer's Internet connection appears to be online. (-66559)​

And with iTunes podcasts the download stops with an ! after a few MBs.

Any idea what could be the problem?

So here is a lesson, don't be stingy and donate your organs, it could save an important person's life (steve jobs):D seriously ppl, be generous


anyways, can't wait for the future.

Did you know that if you and another person are laying on a bed dying, and you are an organ doner and the other isnt, and you have a 25% chance to live and the other has a 60% they will go for the other person first. That's why I'm not an organ doner. I do commend people who are because that is very generous and kind-hearted but if I have a family and kids at that point I need to think about them before I think about the person next to me.

Itunes 9 breaks the clicking on the green + button to switch to mini-player feature. Apparently this was a deliberate break by Apple. Discussion here:

Hold down the option button then click the green button, presto!

That's not true. And it's the number one myth of organ donation. :rolleyes:

Myth: If emergency room doctors know you're an organ donor, they won't work as hard to save you.

Fact: If you are sick or injured and admitted to the hospital, the number one priority is to save your life. Organ donation can only be considered after brain death has been declared by a physician. Many states have adopted legislation allowing individuals to legally designate their wish to be a donor should brain death occur, although in many states Organ Procurement Organizations also require consent from the donor's family.
