Very excited. I still don't understand why they don't do a live stream, does anyone have an explanation for this?
Too many people trying to watch it at once and too much of a strain in the servers.

They did it a few years ago where only people with Apple devices could watch it but theirs too many apple devices out there now.
 
Please, please, please make iTunes faster! I beach ball more than I listen to music. I've got massive music and book libraries and its getting more absurd every day!
