This just shows you how slow the current generation of Mac Pros are if it takes this long to encode a video.

But the individual URLs of the images are different. How does that apply here

Good question. xD Whatever the cause, I wouldn't be surprised if it has to relate to dastardly ISPs. -_-;;

I like the fact that they included HERO in the title. My hero, Sir Steve Jobs.

Maybe the new iPhone is called the HTC Hero? Hmm.

Exciting stuff though! That's probably the preview image for the Apple Events QuickTime page! Must be coming soon! EDIT: Wait a sec, that's the old preview image from the last event. It must be a placeholder for the new one though, since it's under /wwdc10.

I LOVE that song And that movie!

Who dosen't? Billy Joel as a streetwise pooch. Cheech as a Chihuahua. Midler as a poodle. With a soundtrack featuring them and Huey Lewis. What's not to like?

Nothing's easier than unplugging it and try it again.

Well they had better post the dang video soon because I have decided I WILL NOT go to the bathroom until it does show.

I have good bladder control and I'm going to push myself to the limit until the video is posted.

If you had an iPad you could take it with you like me lol

This I so sware!!!!!!!!

This makes ME want to swear...

They took 30 minutes to upload two tiny pics. By that rate (AT&T 3G imo) it will take another 300 hours to upload the video ;D

After remaining spoiler free all day Im talking to my boy, planning out our trip to bonnaroo and he says, "Did you hear about apple a..." and I said "Kenny if you say another word ima f*&K you up!!!" and then he just said a number . . . I just hung up.

PS. My keynotechecker is working fine.

Is this a lame attempt at sneaking in a spoiler?

Tracker is back up

Pictures are up

ALL WE NEED IS THE VIDEO TO BE UP!

Come on

So.. they took about 8 hours to upload 100kb of gifs, so make that 10 GB for all the various kinds of video... hmmmmmmm

If you had ann ioad you could take it with you like me lol

If someone fetched the image and it was a placeholder (which it appears as though it was; Apple uploaded the iPhone OS 4.0 announcement image as a placeholder), it'll still continue to dish that out even though Apple have replaced it with the real WWDC one.

Proxying was a great idea back in the day (read: 1995-2000ish) but with so much dynamic content and broadband now, it's cost savings are so small, it's just an annoyance to customers (like this).

Ahhhh!
I think I'll go pee in preparation, since it looks like any min now.

[celticpride678]

Apple names most of their pictures beginning with "hero"

What are you guys talking about? What is "the tracker"?

Steve Jobs Shenanigans. Nuff said.

Maybe they're not encoding it on Mac Pros, but on whatever they announced today, even if it's not hardware? If they were encoding a video in, say, just a piece of software without anything to run it on, that would cause a delay.

Heheh iPad. Thats what happens when you type on it quickly one handed - typos
