Where is the best place to see MWSF?

Hey, Steve,

Thanks for the cushy seat, but is that an iPod mini in your pocket, or are you getting ready to announce the next big thing?

The next BIG THING, iPod BIGGY. 😉 🙂

Apple did a live webcast via satellite to its local Apple Stores last year. So I am expecting a repeat performance. Trying to see it on the Internet has been very disappointing and frustrating.

Man.. I've even watched the keynotes on a 128kbps ISDN... at about 800x600, and the quality is good enough! luckily I'm on 512kbps now.

I am going to guess this was not a LIVE feed. And was watched at some godly hour.

Even at the default stream window size I get drop offs and slow downs and I have a 5Mb line and an average 4Mb down speed rate.

Sorry I do not believe you are watching it at 800x600 on a 128-512kbps line. 🙄

ROTF, if idiots can creep they way on to the Oscar Stage, this is very possible. 🙂

Please don't do that, anyone, I can imagine the headlines 🙄

hmm..i generally dont get a problem - i just watched the 300k feed of the special event just now and it worked ok - obviously it's hardly in high demand atm, but still 😉 (btw, when the guy above said that he was watching at 800x600, he probably meant resizing the little 100x100 window you get with the 100k stream and dealing with heavy pixellation)

Although I imagine the MW feed will be in high demand on tuesday, i hope akamai manage to sort out any issues which slow the stream down :s

btw, does anyone know what time the stream is likely to go online? I hope it's not much longer than 2-3 hours after the event, cos i dont know how long I will be able to hold off going to apple.com 😱
