The Empire Strikes Back!

My prediction:

(1) REVOLUTIONARY holographic OS and Apple iTV product;

(2) Complete revamp of iOS;

(3) new iPhone;

(4) new MacBook.

Apple will make Jobs proud.
 
My prediction. It will all be about the replacement for the Mac Pro. It will be shaped like a Rubik's Cube; It will be called the Continuum iTransfunctioner, and it will have the power to change the world, for good or for bad. It will also have the power to make you forget, where you left your car.
 
I didn't invent a time machine per se but I did invent a technique to make time pass by without noticing it, it's called taking a nap. :p

Sadly i still notice the passage of time whilst asleep, (I also cant sleep much, chronic insomnia)
 
(1) REVOLUTIONARY holographic OS and Apple :apple:TV product;

.

Does that mean its not really there, if so its been announced the last few WWDCs

Also i corrected your Apple TV naming from the British TV Channel to what i assumed you meant
 
Bandwidth is finite, so I ask you who should have access to the live stream?

People that have one of the millions of compatable "i" devices, or people that just want to tune in to troll in real time? :)

Take care of your base, and let the rest get their info from their favorite blog. Sounds fair to me.

But their base might be at work or away from their compatible devices. And some of their base likes to use Google Chrome more (which I definitely do not).
 
Just a thought. Maybe the livestream is only done when they have a kick ass product to launch / show off :)

On the other hand....maybe its only done when the products being launched are a bit naff, in the hope that it'll get them some free attention.

Then again maybe I'm talking crap and will be quiet now. :eek:
 
Fail Before They Start

If a tech company like Apple with 137 billion in cash reserves can't handle the load, who can?

I agree completely. Very many businesses as the one I work at doesn't have Macs and will not be able to stream it.

If they can't handle the additional load of Windows PC's to the live stream how the heck are they going to handle live streaming of music.

Google handles 100 times this every second on YouTube.

It just shows you that Apple is not ready for anything closely resembling Enterprise usage and is still limited to the Walls of Apple.

Fail at the highest levels of corporate mediocrity.
 
Come on, Apple, some of us are stuck using Windows at work. Throw us a bone. Guess I'll have to go grab and charge up the iPad to watch the keynote.

Google handles that amount of youtube traffic because it's their business.
 
BT haven't gone round hampshire yet? :eek:

Apparently the county council have signed a £13.8 million deal that by 2015 90% are supposed to have 20Mbps fibre at least, although that won't help me much because I'll be at uni most of the time.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if my village was in the 10% that was stuck with "at least 2Mbps" as that's what we've got at the mo. It's sold as 6Mbps with a minimum of 2, but we haven't had above 1.2 since february, and BT don't want to know.

One of the many reasons I intend not to live in the countryside for much of my future! :p
 
Apple-only live streaming huh...? This is a great opportunity for a site to make $ (ie ads in stream and on the streaming page) by re-broadcasting it to PC viewers... Illegal, yes, but so are most of the sharing sites scattered across the net.
 
"Don't you wish you had an Apple TV like me, Don't ya"

No. I wish they put it out on all computers like any other normal company.

Google puts Apple to shame with Apple's limited streaming capability.

How many people have Apple TV's at work and how many people have Macs at Work.

Apple can't handle the load because QuickTime is a relic video technology that should have been been replaced with HTML 5 years ago.

Apple bashes Adobe for Flash then pulls this crap with proprietary software and limits it just to Apple computers which are in about 2% of all businesses.

Epic Fail on Apple.
 
So? Google I/O was just a couple of weeks ago, which is also a developers conference, and they streamed every presentation, from keynote to developers workshops, to everybody who wanted to see.
Do you REALLY not understand? Not even if you try?
 
this is it...

after using a Mac professionally for twenty years, it comes to this. If Apple doesn't announce a new Mac Pro, I will be moving on to Linux / Windows machines. It's a sad thing to think about, but I need more horsepower and expandability than what even the top of the line iMac can offer. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, because I freakin' hate working in Linux / Windows...
