Apple Announcement Broadcast Live
ignipotentis writes "Apparently Apple's 'music to your ears' announcement will be broadcast live. I'm a bit confused by this, however I hope someone will pick this up and netcast it perhaps?" Apple usually broadcasts these things on satellites, so they can be picked up in the Apple stores etc.; the question is, will Apple broadcast it in QuickTime, will TechTV pick it up?
They're announcing bankruptcy and pulling out while they still can. Not too difficult to figure out. They've been dieing for quite some time.
Yeah, see, people who don't spend all day trying to fiddle with config files on Linux have things like "leisure time". In that time you can choose to do things besides attempt to build libfrobber-0.0.1alpha from source. One of those things is called "watching television", where someone sends pictures to a display box in your home. It's a lot like downloading pirated dvd's off the internet, but without having to recompile mplayer source to see it.
Anyway, this technique is usually referred to as "Broadcasting".
I hope this helps.
Yeah, it's really big, like a tiger-stripe-patterned iPod. Woo hoo. Either that, or Apple just bought THE INTERNET.
That's "Mr. Soulless Automaton" to you, Bub.
I'm just picturing Gore singing Linkin Park...
aye, but anything apple announces takes atleast a year for its PC counterpart to make the same darn thing, and then advertise like they created it (i.e. intel with centrino wireless networking - apple has already moved on past 802.11b). so its nice to see what's here now for us mac users, and down the road for the pc users. it's a big PR deal to have these events, and they usually have a lot of awe behind them.
What Steve Jobs will announce next week, live by satellite across the world, is a 17" iPod. It's likely to have 32G of storage space, an increase of 54% over the current highest capacity model, and a faster CPU so that, for example, it will be able to play more than one MP3 at once.
But the most exciting innovation will be the huge, 17", widescreen LCD display that'll replace the iPod's current tiny little window. This will make editing playlists easier, no more crammed display, and will allow the iPod to show screen effects in tune with the music (another use for the 1GHz G4 that'll be in every unit.)
And, interestingly, despite it being much more expensive to produce than current iPods, it'll follow the pattern currently of the next model being $100 more expensive, wieghing in at $599. Apple will, however, be selling matching trousers with 17" pockets for $1299.
I hope it's a success.
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
this better really be Steve Jobs and not porno ...on second thought the porno would be ok too
The enemy will run like fraid'ie kittens from the brutal force of the AHM and High Ruler Job's most powerful reality distortion field machine, Allah be bathed. They will withdraw into their Walmart brand dickies and die upon the Capuccino gates of Cupertino, God willing.
...seeing how this is being televised and all...

Interestingly enough, various scientific studies have been conducted upon wide cross-sections of the male H. Sapiens population to determine the psychological motivations behind irrational, sometimes violent anti-homosexual behavior, also known as fag bashing in common colloquial American English.
A vast majority of these studies have returned an all but irrefutable stream of evidence - that most all fag bashers are in fact harboring latent homosexual urges - and instead of directing the suppression of those urges solely upon themselves, project said suppression upon others.
It's only logical to presume that the evidence that's been returned can be extended to incorporate those who deride Macintosh users as being "Homosexuals" on online forums and billboard systems. Not only are these people likely harboring latent homosexual urges themselves, but a latent desire to use or adopt the Macintosh platform as well.
Seriously! I'm not interested in the nightly broadcast from WGSE-CX. That would put the "broad" back in broadcast!
