Why isn't Apple streaming the event? If they don't want me to watch, fine I won't. Not happy.

This is tacky in the extreme

It looks great, until you see "Power cord required (not shown)" in all the marketing. It needs to be connected to a USB power cord. I think the marketing pictures are totally misleading and I'm sure the UK's Advertising Standards Agency will agree

If Apple uses ads in maps I would imagine it would be in the form of identifying places on your route. A McDonalds logo showing you the location of one of their restaurants for example.

I can't see Apple putting ads in between songs, it doesn't seem like something Apple would do. I think iRadio might be a subscription service where the subscription fee is waived if you buy X number of songs a month. Certainly as you hear songs thro…
