MacWorld New York Keynote 2002

[G4scott]

I have Road RUnner cable internet access, and it works fine for streaming the keynote. I just start the stream, and set it for full screen mode, bust out the popcorn, drinks, and my big foam finger that says "Apple is #1" This year, I might hook up my computer to the TV and listen with 5.1 surround sound... 😀

Okay, so maybe I don't have the big foam finger, but the rest is true... My only problem is that my new band director wants all of the officers, which includes me, to be at the band hall to get to know each other, and do stuff to get ready for the coming school year. This wouldn't be bad, if it wasn't half way through the keynote! I think I'll take my trusty iBook, though, and connect at school, assuming that the network is up (which it usually is during the summer) and our network nazi hasn't found a way to block streaming content...

Does anyone know how to set up a router/computer to work kind of like a proxy server, where I can set it up to use one port from the school (a proxy server), and have that port set back to port 80 when it gets to the server (which would be my computer) and sent out to the internet? It would be really cool, because I'd make a ten-thousand dollar computer that our school district bought basically worthless... Even though this last paragraph doesn't have anything to do with the keynote, any help would be appreciated...

So, will SJ be sporting a beard or not? Anyone placing bets?

I'm pissed!

Looks like Apple put the smackdown on people broadcasting the keynote:

Mac Enthusiasts;
_
I, like you, have been wondering why there was nothing on our site about the MacWorld schedule._ I've been bugging those in house every day, and getting told we plan to carry it, and are making arrangements.
_
I got the final word today._
_
I'm very sorry to tell you we are not carrying Steve Jobs Keynote from Mac World in New York on Wednesday. Apple will not allow us to air it live or in it's entirety. I was not given reasons, just told that._We will be doing stories on it during Tech Live._ I know that's not much, but right now it is all we have to offer.
_
We had assumed we'd be covering it as in the past, and I was told to let you know we planned to._ We DID try very hard to get this coverage for our Mac Enthusiasts._
_
I didn't want you all hunting around looking for the coverage, so am sending emails again to let you know.

I'm not sure if you're kidding.. but in case you aren't... you're misinformed. The keynote is at 9am EDT, which is indeed 6am PDT.

For people in areas of the world where time is taken seriously, and not toyed with as it is in most of the U.S. (i.e. the daylight savings time fiasco) "Eastern Time" is GMT-4 currently. Never mind that Eastern Time is supposed to be GMT-5... Don't ask why, you'll just think even less of Americans.

Are you in that section of Indiana that doesn't follow Daylight Savings? If so, Kewl!

I'm in Arizona, and we (just about the entire state) don't follow Daylight Savings either.

Also, I discovered that my Apple store IS opening at 6:00 am for the Keynote, so I'll be there! 😀

 

[IndyGopher]

Yes. The massive majority of Indiana does not do DST. A few counties in each corner of the state do their own thing... but since almost 25% of the entire state's population lives within 40 miles of Indianapolis, that doesn't account for many people.

Yes! Someone does care about time!

Cool, IndyGopher! I'm from Columbus! Indiana is definately a strange but cool state.

I am really looking forward to iTunes 3 (if it comes) and I hope it brings with it AAC MPEG-4 Audio! I want my 10GB (2000 songs) iPod into a 10GB (5000 songs) iPod!

Peace!

Whoops! Don't look at my sig file below, forgot to add by new iMac Flat Panel (Combo).
