Anyone have a clue as to how you can download and save the stream to your computer? The old method that worked up thru MWSF 2005 no longer works…

Apple does it again… the impossible!

Thanks, Steve!

Usually, I get entertained watching the competition try to catch up, but now it is no longer a contest. In many ways I pity them. Will they ever learn to stop challenging Apple?

I think I need some more Apple stock.

I can’t view the stream….takes me to the right page, click on the link and it launches Quicktime but never plays. Other streams work fine.

On the phone product:
It’s nice to see companies which are arguably the best in their fields working together on a product.

And yea, sure, it only holds 100 songs, but you can bet this is because they need growth – the next model will hold 250 (or maybe 1000 even). Plus they don’t want to cannibalize sales for the iPods.

Surely the best news is that they’re not forcing consumers to spend stupid amounts of money on getting songs into the phone, as had previously been suggested (you know $3 a song and so on.)

The version I saw was censored. In particular, the lyrics to ‘Gold Digger’ have been changed a bit. Still, I give credit to Apple for not changing their mind about Kanye West performing on their show; a lot of Republicans do not like people who criticize George Bush, especially someone who does it on live television.

is it just me or do those other CEOs look like douche-bags when they try and hype their products? It really makes one appreciate how good Steve is at his job.

There can be only one.

/surprised they let Kanye back on TV so soon
//Apple evidently does care about black people
Why was Kanye West on the Launch?

I thought it was a MUSIC EVENT,
not some no talent running his mouth over a canned rhythm track.

If it’s about the music somebody missed.
Musicians either play an instrument, sing or do both.
Rap is NOT music.

Did you just emerge from under a rock? I would like to welcome you to the year 2005.

“Rap is NOT music.”

Pretty close to the truth … the best that can be said is that Rap resembles drum-beats due to its use of rhythm. But even the best
Rap pales into comparison with moderately good rock, pop, jazz and
classical music. Hard to compete with musical melody (and lyrics). I suppose one can view Rap as a minimalistic extreme … some of the best Rap seems quite good but I’m rarely in the mood for even that!

I guess music is like painting to some extent, some of the modern abstract stuff is technically quite good and a major achievement but
pale into comparison with more realistic paintings; I really want to
make the point that to me the most artistry relies on a balance between realism and abstractness … but I think I’m talking off the cuff
too much … suffering bicycle-fatigue right now … saving a few shekels off filling my car with petrol!

I’m sure it could be related to the fact that a balance of order and disorder produces a more natural music (or painting) which we as humans are generally more in tune (!!) with … Rap has too much order
(or sometimes disorder in terms of white noise!) to be generally enjoyable most of the time … much classical music tends to easy to listen too much of the time …

MW is amount as in the above Spiel may not amount to much …

Is anyone else having trouble with this QT stream?

It’s complete BS…RS…all types of S.

Completely unwatchable.

I am always confused why Apple doesn’t give us something we can download and then run from our Macs.

Not good enough!

Yeah, what the heck is the deal with the feed. The quicktimes of the events were more watchable in the pre-H264 days. When it comes thru for a few seconds it is beautiful quality but then it freezes and pixelates out.

Maybe the akamai server is maxxed out? I tried watching the WWDC keynote and it was the same. I don’t think the problem is at my end cuz I am on a PowerMac dual 2.7 gig unit with 100 Mbps down fiber optic connection (albeit in Japan).

Maybe they are being too ambitious on the size/quality. I can watch the 2004 Paris Expo Stream with no problem and it seems to be in a bit smaller format:

C’mon Apple! Get your act together on this. A lot of new potential Apple users may go to watch this and get a bad impression. It would be better to have slightly lower quality but a solid stream.

Congratulations Kayne West, someone needs to tell the truth about racist Bush and his Republication arsehole friends who don’t like nasty things said about them.

Tough shit guys, it’s a FREE WORLD and we can say what you are – a bunch of greedy, ugly, racist, disgusting human beings.

If you want to come and talk about it, then I’m all ears.

Fuck Kanye West up his stupid ass! Kanye and these so-called black leaders are the true racists.
