MacDailyNews and iPodDailyNews will feature live coverage of Apple’s “The Beat Goes On” special event. Live updates will be available via a special text-only “lite” page here:
http://www.macdailynews.com/070905_special_event.html
Shortly before the presentation, the MacDailyNews and iPodDailyNews home pages will redirect to the special event coverage page in order to help minimize server load. Shortly after the presentation, the sites will return as normal.
As with Macworld Expo, WWDC keynotes, and other special events in the recent past, Apple will not be providing a real-time webcast or satellite broadcast. It is expected that Apple will post a QuickTime video of the event on their web site later in the day on September 5, 2007 as the company does usually.
See you Wednesday, September 5th at 10:00am PDT / 1:00pm EDT / 5:00pm GMT.

CHORUS:
The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da
Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
History has turned the page, uh huh
The mini skirts the current thing, uh huh
Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh
Chorus
The grocery store’s the super mart, uh huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
And men still keep on marching off to war
Electrically they keep a baseball score
Chorus
Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
The cars keep going faster all the time
Bums still cry “hey buddy, have you got a dime”
Chorus
One of the most advanced technology companies in the world, and they still can’t stream their announcements? Come on, big Steve-o, let us in on the party…
they use to stream their announcements but its such a huge demand on their servers now…
Any word on Leopard? Like when in October?

Falling bodies tumble ‘cross the floor [Well I’m a tumbler!]

MDN,
Thanks for the links to all of the other live coverage pages!
The reek of desperation is flowing from the northwest U.S.
“Hours before Apple Inc. is expected to introduce new iPods at a special event in San Francisco, rival Microsoft Corp. has announced that it is dropping the retail price of its 30GB Zune music player to $200.
Electronista points to a posting on Microsoft’s Zune Insider blog making note of the $50 cost reduction:
‘It’s part of the normal product lifecycle, something we’ve had on the books for months,’ wrote Microsoft’s Cesar Menendez. ‘We just got some research back and customer satisfaction with the 30GB device is really high (around 94 percent) and we expect even more consumers will now want to discover the Zune experience at the new lower price.’
The price drop comes shortly after Mindy Mount, the corporate vice president and CFO of Microsoft’s entertainment and device division, said that she grades the Zune a “B-” in its current state, noting that the player is doing well, saleswise, for “a product out in less than a year and a half,” but that the company is still developing the brand and trying to expand its identity.”

I wonder if there are any lines at Apple Stores right now, preceding the event?
AppleStore? Queue?
We should first have some here in Europe…
And I don’t refer to UK and Italy, but Germany, France, Switzerland…
Anyway, let’s get ourselves surprised today
Thanks for putting up the GMT time MDN. That’s a very thoughtful and much appreciated contribution. From past experience, Engadget is the place to be for these events.
The beat goes on – Mac market share continues to increase.
The results of my observational study:
I am currently sitting in Mugshots coffee shop and out of 5 laptops 4 are Macs.
Not randomized and controlled but certainly a HUGE difference from even a year ago!
The beat goes on……..
Correction:
All 5 are Mac laptops. (The dude behind me has some funky skin on a 12 inch PowerBook)
“some funky skin on a 12 inch PowerBook”
Also known as an iRash.
“Be then a stooge.”
I heard that Microsoft wanted to get a step up on Apple
So they are releasing the “Zune-Grateful Dead” version.
It has nothing to do with the band….
I saw the ghost of Al Capone with a MacBook.
“the ghost of Al Capone with a MacBook”
I wonder if he’s bothered upgrading to the latest version of TurboTax?
I heard that the ghost of Frank Nitti uses an Acer Ferrari.
Apple Store is offline!!
These silly live events are getting tiresome, trite, and cliché. Apple should just have Steve Jobs in videos on the website.
Actually they use to stream their events, and scooping the main stream media outlets which complained as to why they would bother covering it when anyone could go watch it as it happened. So they pulled doing live coverage to make sure the media would still bother showing up instead of just watching it streaming

@ TT
I heard it was The Damned (also nothing to do with the band)
Apple Store is don’t…. go figure….
Thanks for posting the other available sources of the feed, MDN simply is not up to the task for this, and don’t blame it on server traffic either, you should have known better.
“MDN Magic Word”, TRYING. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
Ringtones cost just as much as the song? LAME. The friggin’ new iPod better be platinum plated after that turd…
