Apple posts Macworld 2008 keynote stream

post #1 of 30

Thread Starter 
Living up to its promise from its last-minute site update, Apple on Tuesday evening posted the streaming QuickTime feed of its Macworld San Francisco 2008 keynote speech by company chief Steve Jobs.

The announcement saw the release of the MacBook Air subnotebook, iTunes Movie Rentals with new Apple TV software with HD video support, and its new Time Capsule hybrid router and network backup device.

Apple also released the iPhone 1.1.3 update with a customizable home screen, triangulated positioning in Google Maps, and multi-recipient SMS text messaging. The iPod touch now also ships with a software upgrade ($20 separately) that brings Google Maps, Mail, Notes, and widget apps previously limited to the iPhone.

It's so smooth this year; absolutely perfect. None of the blocking and freezing that has crippled it's first day release all the previous years.

Steves Keynote was awesome, a change from last year when all the attention was on the iPhone.
Reminds me of 2004 and 2003 and 2002!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually found the iPhone version of the keynote by peeking at the reference movie they provide. It's available for download from Apple as a self-contained MP4, and seems to play fine in QuickTime Player in OS X. (I suspect, and hope, that it will play okay on my Apple TV, as well.)

Excellent. Apple has their keynotes down now.

Is anyone else feeling exactly the opposite is true? Or is this a sarcastic post?

The stream is absolutely HORRIBLE!!!!!

Can't even see the f*ing product AT ALL... just MPEG artifacts and even audio dropping out.

Edit: At this point I can't even get audio. Anyone transfer the stream from when it was acceptable? Why doesn't Apple just post it on iTunes immediately, even in small size, instead of streaming it?

Not being sarcastic at all. I've even being stopping and restarting streams to answer posts here, and going back to verify something Jobs said during the keynote.

Did you install the new QT version yet?

Apple really screwed up with this shit this year. The MacBook Air guided tour has no audio. Even the download version.

No. Is that really the issue?

I had major problems too, but I updated to the latest QT and it works beautifully now.

Still the same. It's okay at the beginning of the keynote. But jump to the MacBook Air intro and all hell breaks loose. Must be a traffic issue.

And I still have no access to the MacBook Air Ad.

But the Guided Tour now has audio, at least on the online version -- I think that wasn't a Quicktime issue though, I think Apple accidentally posted a mute version. My downloaded copy was still silent. I'm downloading another copy to see if Apple fixed it.

Yes, I thought so too. To be honest, I've seen that kind of gaunt thinness before and it has always said one thing: serious ill health. Watching the keynote had me quite worried.
AppleInsider = Apple-in-cider. It's a joke!

I've used macs since 1985 when I typed up my first research paper. Never used anything else never wanted to.

No problems with the stream on my old ibook 64 running 10.3. I watched it right after they uploaded it.

No problems with guided tour or ad either.

Can you see the ad right now?

Can you see the streaming video at the MacBook Air intro right now? Could be limited bandwidth to Asia, I guess...

Just the right size/speed etc. for me to look at right now while typing on these forums. Thanks for the link.

Do the download version instead of the steaming version then.
