Apple Nixes Live Webcast, Satellite Feed

spamguy writes "MacInTouch reports that Steve Jobs' January 11th MacWorld Expo keynote address may not be broadcast live in any way. If you were hoping to watch Stevie present the rumoured sub-$500 Mac, the Motorola phone, the Flash iPod, and/or the office suite, you now have no choice but to buy your plane tickets to San Francisco ASAP."

    Hopefully some of the more adept Apple users will figure out a way to stream this.

    I mean, shit, this is pratically begging for someone to use their Powerbook and iSight to do this.

    well not to sound like a fanboy but Steve is a damn good speaker/presenter. he doesn't behave like a monkey to get people motivated. he doesn't "umm" and "ah" his way through it. He's cool and polished. And to be honest what's better than seeing a demo or the product itself than waiting for it to be "filterd" by the media. I want demos not snide comments by a 95% Windows dominated media (qv iPod-killer stories).
