Video is just on the page in Safari. No way to link to it. Download it. Pause it or fast forward it.
I got through the lion part of the video, made a mistake and closed the page, and went back and the video restarted at the beginning.No way to skip all that and go back to where I left off. Would have to watch the ENTIRE thing again. WTF is that?
Wow. Only Snow Leopard folks can see the vid? Not even just Leopard? Weak. Guess I watch it when I get home on the super Mac.
Was there absolutely no mention of any hardware?
Woz should be the successor Apple keynote/presentation spokesman.
I love Woz. I think he's great, a real inspiration, but he'd be a horrible presenter for an Apple keynote. "Today, we're announcing NFC for iPhone which means you can pay for things with your iPhone... and that reminds me of that time I had a sheet of 2 dollar bills printed out. Let me re-tell that story...."
Supposedly, via the new "purchases" tab in iTunes 10.3, you can re-download all of your past purchases. So, I started with a system that had a nearly-fresh install of Windows 7 (I installed it just last week), updated to iTunes 10.3. I authorized my computer, and I found the new "purchases" entry in the Music Store. But I can't figure out how to re-download for free everything that I purchased in the past. I can see all of my past purchases by looking at my account (there is still an option to view past purchases), but I can't see how to re-download all of them, like Apple says you now can.
I watched on the iPad without any problems
that was fast! i like to download it instead of stream it though
Me to, how can i download it to a file?
They might talk about new hardware later in the conference. I don't think they have finalised the design for the next iPhone due to the fact they are not sure about availability of parts. I am sure they have a primary design they hope to bring out and several fallback designs.
They may also have some lesser hardware they will be releasing, but they don't want to dilute the keynote message.
I've always been an Apple fan, but never an Apple fanboy. I've always had respect for Steve as probably *the* greatest business mind of our time, and certainly the most charismatic leader of industry, but today I developed a new respect for him. While I hope that my instincts are misplaced, to me the man I saw on stage during the opening speech of this keynote was a man that had already reconciled the fact within himself that his time on this earth had come to an end. I realise I am in danger of coming off as an alarmist and reading too much into things here, but to me even Phil Schiller looks like he is putting on a brave face. I think I even noticed his voice cracking on a couple of occasions. I can't help but think that his demeanour is closely linked to Steve's appearance and manner. I have yet to reach Scott Forstall so I can't speak to how he acts during the keynote, but so far I'm left feeling incredibly uneasy by this whole presentation.
I truly want to be wrong, but if I am even close in my suspicions, then his appearance at this keynote was both noble and courageous. I don't want to speculate too far into the future, so I shall just say that I wish you well Steve - you changed the world.
