Well said. I want to know who screwed up the bandwidth allocation for this stream. Was this contracted out?
Got a tip for us?

Samsung is definitely the most ridiculous company in the world
incredible amount of money wasted for these stupid videos (4 this year already if i recall)
they should focus on doing less crappy products instead of doing some Apple bashing
LOL - why? I don't think it would matter much to some on here no matter what they did.
Good add
I think were all forgetting what Apple said years ago no one wanted a big screen phone ive seen a lot of you here mocked Samsung and others over their large screen phone,s now apple is making one and it seems like at least on these types of fanboy website that you all forgot and Apple is the first to make a large screen phone I will be getting the 6plus because it is something ive been waiting for for years but lets face it Apple is doing catch up here and its about time even if the specs are 2 years old the Galaxy note 4 is far advanced than the 6 in terms of specs. im sure the next iPhone will have all of the specs we see in the lg g3 or the note 4.

What problem?
Seriously, I watched the whole stream on my mac. Had to refresh about 3 times due to heavy traffic. NOT a problem. Took a total of 3 clicks, maybe 2 seconds.

Because these ads serve no point other than than getting made fun of. They've been losing money for a few qtrs. These campaigns are laughed at all.over the internet and clearly not working since their sales are going down not up.
You really hit the nail on the head Samsung.
Because the stream failing really made an impression on me whether or not to buy a new device :\
In all honesty no, it shouldn't have happened.
But the real joke here is that Samsung poke fun at something so petty? Part reason because they can't poke fun at any other hardware/software.
Take longer than 24 hours to make 6 ads too. They might be better next time.

Well...
your short term memory is failing. Apple did the Get a Mac ads that had the exact same tone as these ads.

Can confirm. Have a Note II and the pen stays docked 99.9999999999% of the time.
live stream debacle
Apple SHOULD be made fun of for that live stream debacle... that was awful.

Um, I'm pretty sure they guessed some of the iPhone 6 features ahead of time and had the ads already done. Maybe some minor editing to fix what they guessed wrong.
Well what I thought is that they are much more fun than middle-aged-stuff apple ads. These are good ads IMO
Actually I believe it was no one wanted a bigger screen phone that you couldn't use one handed
I would suspect that more people tuned in to watch Apple's iPhone 6 show, than all of Samsung's "wacky" keynotes combined.
Whilst Apple's stream was far from perfect, it was the content that mattered and IMO the delivery of that content was (and pretty much always is) masterful and Samsung would be better of spending money on learning how to do impressive keynotes, than putting together these childish ads.
The numbers at the end of the year/fiscal quarter won't lie, the i6 will still be the world's best selling smartphone.

no on both... and have been trying for the past couple of minutes to get the memory issue.. can't recreate it for some reason.
Did they get a highschool drama club to put these together? This looks like last-ditch marketing by Radio Shack.
