"Spoiler-Free" WWDC 2010 Thread

[Billy Boo Bob]

Almost 2000 posts! Now I can look at everything else! The blogs, the commentary, the youtube, the facebook, the drudge report, the apple site, everything! It's going to be a fun few days getting acquainted.

And trying to figure out where the money is going to come from so I can start shopping... Hmmm.... I don't really need to eat, now do I???

Definitely. I was having withdrawal from my usual tech/media sources. Now I can go into the rest of the forums. Let's see how many naysayers and disappointed viewers there are (there shouldn't be, but we all know there will be). Either way, I'm pleased with what I know thus far and think most of the "spoiler-free" crowd will be as well. Hope that isn't somehow misconstrued as a spoiler! It was fun being anxious and impatient with everyone in this thread though--as fun as could be i suppose. We kind of got loopy there for a while as user by user lost hope and decided to sleep, no? And almost 2000 posts has got to be a new record for a thread on Mac Rumors about nothing (the wait, not the result ).

FTR: The resolution improved tremendously for me 20 minutes in. Though I thought this may have been due to wifi on my ipad (of course), but who knows. Hope you all who wake to watch this enjoy. Even knowing what we knew, it was still a good keynote (and funny, even with aforementioned tech issues).

I have a feeling that it has to do with the initial hit on their outgoing bandwidth having lightened up a lot now. I seem to remember going back to some older keynotes long after they were done, and the streamed version was very clear and watchable (for SD).

This might have some to do with the wait for the HD version to be published, too. If everyone that went ahead and watched the SD one at the start were watching the HD version at the same time, it would have probably been quite ugly.

[Edit]
Assuming it's coming from the same bandwidth pipe, I went ahead and checked out a bit of the April HD video... It's still pretty choppy and blotchy. Quite the mess. Now I'm thinking more and more that they're waiting for the current bandwidth usage to settle down a bit before publishing the HD version. If they ran it now (or before now) there would be a lot of screaming about how bad it looks. Guess it's tomorrow for me. I can wait for the HD. ZZZZzzzz....

Oh man... Until now I didn't know if I was going to be pleased with the keynote. Thanks.

Actually, I'm looking forward to what little there probably is about the Dev stuff (you know... the "D" in "WWDC")... I guess for those attending it's fine that there's little mention of the tech side in the keynote since there's all kinds of workshops where you can get down and dirty with the code monkeys.

Way crappy quality. I'm sure the hd version is out there somewhere but somebody at Apple screwed up a link.

 

[cihag]

let me get this right:
The vid went online at 1:30 am???
Thats like 14 h after the keynote...

Voidness!

Brilliant work: Thank-you once again

Can't believe they took so long; I think they've all but killed it for September

 

[MrMacintoshBlog]

Dang, what a mess the links are not even working for me :/

 

[Lyrrad]

I guess there's no actual download link yet, but just streaming?

 

[raeingoth]

Well, this link works for HD and it seems to be a placeholder, as it's still for the iPhone OS 4.0 event, but oddly truncated and at < 1 hour?

http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jun/1006ad9g4hjk/1006127iojapsoiujdv_hd_ref.mov

I suppose we'll eventually get the HD version from this link, as it's the same format as the other videos.

I don't know if I should be happy it's up now, or upset that it went online 11 minutes after I went to bed.

Still - finally!

 

[MrMacintoshBlog]

This sucks...

Is any one else clicking and having the stream say "Disconnected" ?

Mine is fine.

 

[MrMacintoshBlog]

Thanks i guess ill have to wait for the download link. Maybe its because they block streaming at work :/

Note that the forum software truncates the url... It reads as:
http:// + stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jun/1006ad9g4hjk/1006127iojapsoiujdv_hd_ref.mov

And I agree... It probably will be the URL. I'm sure it's a matter of waiting for the initial hit on bandwidth to slow down (from zillions of folks watching the SD one). I watched a bit of the April HD one earlier and it was still pretty choppy and blotchy. My guess is that it will still be a few hours until all of the U.S. morning watchers have gone through the SD version.

Hi folks,

The video is now available in the iTunes store ... Apple Keynotes podcast stream.

http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/apple-keynotes/id275834665

No news on whether it's HD yet ... but it's 1.27Gb, so my guess is it is. Happy downloading!

Oli.

 

[Billy Boo Bob]

WOOHOO!!!!!

The podcast is UP.....

http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/apple-keynotes/id275834665

[D'Oh!] Beat me to it... Didn't see yours there. [/D'Oh!]

Anyone have the direct link to the iTunes download file? iTunes traffic is blocked off on the line I am using and I have no way of getting it other than off of a direct link to the video iTunes file.

Wow. I'm getting a d/l speed of 11+ Mb/sec... Usually my iTunes downloads top out at 3.5 or so. I don't need no stinking HD stream Not with that kind of download speed.

Good thing my nephew isn't here gaming at the moment. He would be screaming... I think I can truly say that my D/L rate is fully maxed out right now... Never seen that kind of speed here.

FYI, if you don't know... In iTunes downloads "tab", if you click on the "xxx.x MB of 1.27GB" part of the download info, it'll add your current speed to the info there. Must be hilited first.

 

[kamiboy]

Never you mind, found it:

[Billy Boo Bob]

Well, the podcast isn't an HD version, but it still looks pretty good at full screen on my iMac 24. This will do for now.

 

[MrMacintoshBlog]

Thanks for the download links guys.

And trying to figure out where the money is going to come from so I can start shopping... Hmmm.... I don't really need to eat, now do I???

sell your current apple products on ebay

 

[robogobo]

Let's do it again, shall we?
