The only site I've found that is doing any updating is Engadget (Macworld seems to be doing nothing, that ustream went silent, and CNet is being very slow to update):
http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/04/apples-lets-talk-iphone-keynote-liveblog/?sort=newest&refresh=60

And you have to keep refreshing it, it does not auto refresh. But at least it's getting updates.

The keynote seems to be beginning with sales reports. Typical!

Hope Tim is going to hand over to Steve at some point

Feels like i'm watching a documentary about China.

This is ****ing painful! I thought this was "lets talk iPhone", not "lets talk about our slave labor".

starting off with Lion (and Macbooks)

1:09 pm "For the first time ever we offered Lion as a digital download only. This is incredible. The results have been staggering. We have downloaded over 6m copies of Lion. This is 80% more than Snow Leopard."

Thanks, it looks like I'll be watching those two for updates.

I probably will watch the video later, I wanna see how Tim Cook actually comes across.

This is meant to be an iPhone event, 11 mins waffling on about non iPhone stuff, get on with it Tim

Is this your first Apple keynote? This is what happens EVERY time.

I guess this is the 'Let's not talk iPhone' portion of the 'Let's talk iPhone' event.

This comment by Tim is comical:
1:09PM We're comparing to Windows 7 -- it took 20 weeks to reach 10 percent of the Windows install base. It took Lion two weeks.

For Lion the 10% was a few million. For Windows it was 100 million. Yea, Lion sure buried Windows.

Why do they always start out with a circle jerk and pats on their backs?

Am just in an excited and impatient mood more so than previous ones

Well, it appears that there is not much to talk about, is it?

And *sigh*. It's supposed to live update and I still have to refresh.

Ah well.

It's conditioning the masses..
Drink up the kool aid.

This...
I almost spit my drink out when I saw this.
They're actually trying to make that comparison?
Is Tim on crack or what?
Lion will never see 450 million copies sold... ever.

Yeah, I caught that too.

Not sure why they would make a huge event press release for an iPhone 4S when they KNOW it will just setup a HUGE letdown.

Not a good way to start the future with a new CEO.

Somehow after the last few days OTT speculations regarding the virtual assistant, today feels anti-climactic.
