Spoiler-Free iPhone 2012 Event

heads up

Don't go to the Apple home page. Its showing a picture and has a video of something that will ruin the spoiler free vibe.

not sure whats worse: waiting for the keynote to finish, or waiting for apple to upload the vid

Since waiting for the keynote to finish is part of the waiting for apple to upload, your question not only answers itself, but also stands alongside other non-sensical queries such as: "Who let the dogs out?" and uhm.. "How are they hanging?"

GMT but regardless of time zone it took 3hrs from start to online. It's not an exact science but I'd expect it to be online between 9 and 11 GMT :)

In which episode does he say this?
 
On the iPad, how would I go about finding the Keynote to download it? Is this via iTunes app or the Podcast app?

I would love to leave my iPad downloading the keynote as I leave to take my final, that way I can come back home, make some food and watch it in 1080p . :apple::p:p

problem for me is the apple homepage is preset as my browser home page.

My routine:
a) set iPhone to Flight Mode (starting with iOS6 this is not necessary anymore :p)
b) Disconnect all messenger programs such as Adium and Skype
c) (in case you get spoilery mails, I don't:) Close Mail/Sparrow/what have you
d) set Safari homepage to https://www.macrumors.com/2012/09/11/apple-september-12th-media-event-spoiler-free-video-stream/
or http://insightview.com/keynotechecker/
e) "New Tab opens" BLANK WINDOW!
f) Never open "Top Sites"... big banners on websites are often big enough to spoil in Top Sites
g) Check Apple's 1080p Keynotes Podcast all the time for updates (STEER CLEAR OF THE iTUNES STORE PAGE! Subscribe to that podcast beforehand!)
h) Don't use Twitter/Facebook/whatever
i) Steer clear of news sites (general) - Apple news, even during the event are HOT STUFF for them, they'll spill it as soon as they can!
j) Generally, limit your browsing only to the most spoiler-free sites imaginable.
k) Paranoia maybe, but definitely a thought to include: Adblock needs to run!
l) Watch some TV shows in iTunes (not on TV, TV stays off. TV is bad for you, mkay?) TV Shows let you interrupt them to do your checking routines, whilst movies just feel less exciting if you constantly pause them.

That's what I do.
(most of it)
Should keep you pretty spoiler-free.

Damn, I miss those live feeds from Apple.
Bring them back, ffs! :apple:

Tips:
1. Watch videos on Youtube, preferably old Apple keynotes to get in the mood. :)
2. Start a conversation in this thread.

Are you crazy? Steer clear of Youtube! :O
Download them beforehand if you wish, but boy, you don't want to touch Youtube with a 5' pole!
 
IIRC the last keynote they did (before this one) was posted within an hour after it ended, and people were surprised about how fast that was.

Fingers crossed.
