Apple Announcement Broadcast Live

Posted by pudge on from the i-feel-so-insignificant-with-me-little-DSS-dish dept.

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?

    it's an announcement so big that no website could handle the traffic it will generate.

      They wouldn't have to BUY it if Al Gore invented it and he's on the board...

  2. TechTv airing it? by fdiaz5583 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Please, TechTV hasn't aired anything live since the days of the original iMac. When was that? Back in '97? They weren't even TechTV back then, remember the days of ZDTV? Ziff-Davis kept them to their roots, C|Net made them more popular but at a cost. I still remember actually getting replies on the air from Leo Laporte, try getting your e-mail read on the air now. LOL

      Exactly. I was pumped last year to watch their live E3 coverage, but no...instead of keynotes like in '01, the Screensavers... TechTV is useless.

  3. Like the GeForce 4? by Xenex · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You mean like the GeForce 4, that was for sale in Power Macs before nVidia had even announced them?
