How would this be practical for news channels, late night talk shows, or more specifically The Daily Show or Colbert Report? Teleprompters have their place. You can't simply pooh-pooh them all and think that Keynote is a viable solution for every presentation need.
Well, news is really the primary situation, and there they have a guy monitoring the monitors who scrolls it as needed for the newscaster. That’s particularly the
You know how many mistakes people make in inflection of sentence and pronunciation of words due to the teleprompter. It’s an imperfect solution. Unless it’s a breaking news story that has developed during the air time of the program, is there really a reason to not have it written out properly?
No, I don’t mean to say go back to using big ol’ cue cards.

Not sure which association is more toxic, Samsung being associated with tasteless, thuggish, leering scumbag Michael Bay, or Michael Bay being associated with tasteless, thuggish, leering scumbags Samsung.
Someone at AI swiped the story and the word "meltdown" from The Verge. Pure laziness. On the other hand, this Samsung event was a delightful moment of schadenfreude for Samsung haters (of which there are many and growing).
The tech press view Michael Bay's antics as "upstaging" Samsung, but not reflecting poorly on the company. I think paying a celebrity to throw a tantrum in public does reflect poorly on the brand, as was whatever "teleprompter" issue is being blamed for his behavior. "Live" isn't a valid excuse for unprepared, unrehearsed and a lack of grace under pressure.
1) I think the iPhone presentation was the best he did but I personally think the 2010 iPad presentation seemed too ab-libded and sloppy. He went over the same stuff too, too many long pauses, other minor issues.
2) My favorite Q&A was right before Apple adopted the "Think Different" campaign (I think in 1997). He fielded a question by someone that didn't seem to like Apple doing anything that wasn't completely unique. Steve answered that thinking different is the right mindset. The right mindset is to think better. If that means following in the footsteps of other then so be it.

Those patched jeans were distracting. Thanks for sharing.
Is it just because that requires actual work that we don’t see other companies do the same?
Of course they face the speaker! Again, Apple has televisions embedded in the stage where they can see what they’re doing without turning around, and where they have notes for what’s up.
So Apple doesn't use a teleprompter. It would be very silly for them to use a teleprompter for the exact same reasons as this Samsung event. If you've ever used one, and don't remember what to say it will actually make things worse when presenting because you're fully relying the teleprompter which is a bad thing because if something happens to it, then you're fucked where you stand. They use Keynote and note cards to give them an idea of what to say. There is a difference you know.
BS. Its Samsungs fault for paying someone money to pitch a product and that said person has no idea what the product does. If Mr Bay even spent 5 minutes using the TV he would be able to come up with at least a sentence or two of praise.
Bottom line is Samsung thinks throwing money around with celebrity endorsers will lead to sales. Even though those endorsers have ZERO interest in Samsung products.
I wonder how many people even know who this guy is? Maybe 4 out of 10 people?
When asked if Apple use a teleprompter you replied "of course they do". That was incorrect. Either you knew it was incorrect and lied, or you just didn't know what you were talking about. Just admit one or the other like a man and stop trying to pass the buck all the time.
“If you tell the truth, you never have to remember anything.”
What a pile of horse shit. There are lots of facts in the world for a president, CEO or public speaker to remember. You can't even remember what a teleprompter is!

Plenty of it. It’s called the Internet.
Birds of a feather.....

I felt bad for the guy. I used to have similar issue ....

On another note, Samsung sucks. They will always do and their products are never ever welcomed here.
In fact, I ignore any vendor if they support android.
Okay, I gotta say this. Steve would never have done this. When Jobs walked out on the stage he owned the place. There, I said it!
Sure. Shame they don’t work very well.

Yeah. One works and the other leaves you high and dry.

Forgive me, but LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Once again, get over it.
If you genuinely think they do, what was all that rabbiting about Keynote earlier? And you'd be wrong.
Now tell us the part where Apple makes TV shows and movies.
Apple’s explosions would be more realistic than Bay’s explosions.
Thanks, that actually made me laugh.
