Yeah. Massive fuckups on the live web stream. Same on AppleTV (not that it would be different, but I did check ).

Working here. I got a long video and now Cook is onstage.

Unfortunately I'm also getting Chinese and Japanese audio tracks as well.

edit: Haha, it just skipped back 10 minutes to footage of the crowd.

And now the test pattern. Giving up on this, I'll just watch a recording later on.

Made it up till Cook showing the original iMac and then it rewound. Now back at the copyright notice.

Okay, getting the feed but getting a translator talking over Cook. What the hell is this?

Now I have a Chinese translator speaking over Tim. WTF Apple.

They have never been able to do a good job streaming... ever.

There may not be enough bandwidth in the universe to cover the interest in this thing. But then it should fail gracefully.

Yep, this is pretty awful. I get there are a lot of people watching - but they should have planned accordingly. Over all an awful experience so far between the translator and the constant breaking.

...and calling/e-mailing/texting ex-girlfriends on the off-chance they'll invite you over for some "old time's sake" no-strings couch gymnastics...

Any bets on whether they're unveiling a 'TV' (cable) replacement video streaming system today?

Because that would be too ironic.

the simultaneous audio feeds have nothing to do with bandwidth and it was clearly an issue 10-15 mins before game time and nothing was done about it.

Embarrassing.

I feel like a dick because I've told a bunch of friends and family to check it out. Now they're all emailing me "what's so cool about this? There's some chick talking over the guy, the video keeps going to blank, etc.".

I've had to explain about four times now "I promise it's usually not like this; I don't know what's happening today".

But, yeah...some heads will roll in the A/V crew afterwards. This is worse than a junior high talent show, from a production standpoint.

Back up, but complete with multi-language overlays.

It's a FEATURE!

Are the guys in the truck completely high? Or did they bring in the interns to handle the streaming? Don't they test and check all this kind of stuff out beforehand? I've never seen such a high-profile goof-up like this. 25 minutes in, the stupid translation audio is still going...insane.

i just don't see how they can't cut the translation audio. It makes no sense to me.

I can’t even get apple.com to load now. Access denied. Stunning.

I think the simultaneous interpreter is being picked up by a mic pointed at the crowd. Should never have happened regardless.

… engrossed in such factional acts as dreaming different dreams.

I'm amazed they haven't just bailed on the translations. No way the international reach is worth pissing everyone off.

they will do damage control and make some ridiculous announcement about how many millions of people attempted to watch and how many petabytes of data they were trying to stream

Presumably this is being handled by Akamai or the like, though. Heads will roll, if said heads aren’t currently booking one-way tickets to Angola.

On my computer, it's working correctly... but I only discovered that because I'd giving up on watching it on my iPad and was going to start reading the blogs. I'm scared to try watching it again on my iPad in case having two devices on one NAT connection messes something up.

When I was a kid, people who did wrong were punished, restricted, and forbidden. Now, when someone does wrong, all of the rest of us are punished, restricted, and forbidden... and the one who did the wrong is counselled and "understood" and fed ice cream.
