Yeah, it's a major bummer for everyone. But, lets hope they post it up right after the live Keynote is over. ;)

why would apple not stream this? its so stupid. they know 100,000+ tune in and watch everytime they stream a keynote. I would hope it will at least be availible to view after its over and edited. i'm so bummed its not being streamed :(


Looking back to last year's WWDC, it appears that even though a QT Stream was not available until after the Keynote, Apple actually announced prior to the event that there *would actually be* a stream.

This time around they haven't even done that. Here's hoping one will be available though...

That's a good point, but they'd still better post one not too long after it. Yeah also I was asking myself that question as well.

To wait for the post webcast after the live event? Or to read the text live?

I don't know it's a tough one.

I am super exicted to watch this thanks macrumors!!

Counting down the hours and minutes

Yeah, but watch what? You mean read. You wont be watching anything until Apple (hopefully) posts a post quicktime webcast of the event. We're all crossing our fingers. There's going to be a lot of dissapointed Mac fans out there if Apple doesn't.

Ya, I don't really understand this either. Mabey to sell more tickets to the WWDC kind of like local tv blackouts with sports teams..they are more than 1500 bucks afterall...

Maby someone at the event with an iSight could stream the event live for us...Any takers?

They have to edit out all the cuss words from Steve when he hooks up digital cameras and other devices to Tiger.

An other thought as to why there is no stream: Could it be that Tiger is still in its early stages of development and Apple therefore doesn't want to show it off publicly yet? So perhaps, Apple we'll only show pieces of the keynote.

Yeah many people have suggested this, but if it is true, why wouldn't they just post it last minute when everyone already has their tickets?? Like NOW??
 
Ahhhh, the suspence :). Am gonna be glued to this screen all night at this rate!
 
Not that I was alive for it, but you know when the Beatles first appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and the whole country like shut down for a few minutes?

Well I'm guessing that productivity at all our respective work places is taking a serious hit for the next few hours. Ah well, what ya gonna do?

:)
 
I'm almost certain apple will put the stream up.. theres no point doing it just yet, and i seem to recall that often they don't do it untill the last minute. at least it'll definately be up afterwards for us all to watch.

Just out of curiosity, has anything ever been released or updated with immediate shipping?? (At least has this happened in recent years?) :confused:


ps- We've passed zero barrier. Just try to log on to the Apple Store, or check an order- it can't be done. :eek:

As far as I can tell, about 400 users were disconnected, and then the remaining ones were as well. I can't connect either. This was all preceded with a "hope this doesn't cause too much trouble" statement :)

Come back to me MacRumors IRC! :D
 
Banned - Do i smell funny?

Just downlaoded the MacRumors client, thought I'd give it a shot, got into the IRC room for about 13 seconds, didn't do a damn thing and then got banned?

Can't log in anymore, oh well.

Didn't think I was THAT ugly!

lol, just thought I'd give a heads up
 
*SIGH*

Stupid port lockouts.:mad: I can't use any IRC software. Firewalls won't let me out on those ports. I guess I'll just have to hope that macrumors can handle the traffic and the main html pages are updated frequently.
