I've never been near a broadband modem during a Stevenote before, but maybe I won't have to if I can pop in at the Regent Street store on my way home from Uni next Tuesday. Does Apple relay Stevenotes to its bigger stores and play them on a big screen or anything? Or is that just a bit too geeky?

In a weird, twisted sort of way, this doesn't bother me. Why? Because I'll be at work and it will be a total struggle to actually follow/pay attention. Usually it's really mellow and quiet and I can do things like this, but, with my luck, on Tuesday we'd have some big spur-of-the-moment "gotta have it TODAY!" project, with phone meetings, a trip to the printer, etc.
I'll keep a text feed browser open and then just visit Apple's site afterwards. And, from the comfort of home in cozy clothes and an icy adult beverage, I'll watch the replay that evening. No problem. Hell, it's so big and hyped, most of us would never get on anyway, I'm betting. I always have bad luck at that. |

Yeah, but I really like Steve's quirks and little unscripted remarks.
"I don't know what it does, it predicts branches" "This is what we do" Stuff like that makes me smile. So it goes. |

I don't care. I will know what the new products will be after it. Then I'll watch the webcast when it is released. Just like last time.

Mac news site www.macintouch.com is saying that they have received an email from someone that claims to know that Apple will not be offering a sattelite or live Quicktime broadcast of the MWSF keynote. However, upon reading that I called up the Apple Store in McLean Virginia to ask if they would be showing the Keynote within the store. The man told me that he did not have confirmation of anything yet, and while he's been checking the internal website for information on it, he says he probably won't find out until this weekend.
I guess if this happens I'll be bummed, but I could always do the text-update thing from themacobserver. __________________ "We are reviewing some 9,000 recent UNHCR referrals from Syria.

Right on schedule...
This rumor always surfaces. Sometimes its true, sometimes not. Personally, I hope that we get a live stream followed by an h264 loop with a newly released QT plugin. |

Have you not been to Regent Street yet?!?! Christ, I live in Liverpool and I was there on opening day! :P
http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/regen...t/theatre.html Those seats are quite comfy, but you best give them a ring - if it is being shown it might be busy. OK, I have given up keeping this sig up to date. Lets just say I'm the guy that installs every latest version as soon as its available! |

Yeah I read it... some other rumour site got an email from some guys, girlfriends, aunt Soozies dog, that the stream will not be shown. You then further make this first bit of info sound even less credible by saying that a Direct Apple employee does not have a confirmed answer...
You could have just said "I called a local Apple store and they dont have a confirmed answer. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see." Instead of the brain dead copy and paste action! You on pay per click commision from macintouch? OK, I have given up keeping this sig up to date. Lets just say I'm the guy that installs every latest version as soon as its available! |

I'd love to actually, erm, SEE the event live via satellite. Watching text update on a web page just doesn't cut it.

So I guess the question now is... what does this usually mean?
What has happened in past expos where there was no webcast? Where they usually some of the more low key shows with only minor speed bumps? I can't remember... Are any of the rumored products coming out? Only one maybe? |

I hope we now before Tuesday, I'm not skipping work just for text updates. Is this Steve's way of punishing us for the rumours? Damn you Steve Jobs! DAMN YOU!

For some events I can understand the lack of a steaming option, but not for a Macworld event. That's just stupid IMO. It's an opportunity to get all kinds of extra users and potential users to listen in and be a part of the whole Apple feel-good thing.
It's almost like they're punishing people for not paying an arm and a leg to attend. Weak. Didn't they skip one of the Macworld's last year? And I think the WWDC the year before was not streamed either. ...into the light of a dark black night. |

I for one use money that I would use on a trip to the US to buys things so I think it's ok the stop people in the US seeing it, (What do you mean you can't attend!! It's just next door!!) they should stream it to everywhere else in the World!! I would guess that if it is broadcast we can expect more cool stuff.. If it isn't then a lot of the stuff we have speculated about will be no shows.

WWDC has almost never been streamed live, which is understandable since it's targeted at developers and not the general public. The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

Uhh..did any of this years CES keynotes have live streams?
I would like to see it live, like I saw Nintendo's keynot at E3 last year, but it's cool, I'll just go to the front page and see what's on there just like I did with the iMac G5... |

After reading this :
"You know, there has been this concern in some previous years too and every year there has ended up being a live webcast. I suppose its possible, but I seriously doubt it. During almost every keynote, Jobs starts out with, "Welcome to MacWorld, we have XX thousand people attending, and another XXX thousand people watching this keynote throughout the world on the web." I'm not too worried... |
