Ya know. Mac Rumors needs to break down and buy one of these honking satellite dishes and stream the event live to its users. Maybe make it a paid event to recoup the price for bandwidth and server. $3 for access. :)

Why is Apple taking a step back in technology with these broadcasts? Instead of streaming it (read: where everyone with a computer can see it and get excited) they opt to give out archaic co-ordinates so 2% of their fans can tune in. I'm sure some folks have these satellites, but seriously.

Do you have access to a satellite? I sure don't. Do you have access to an Apple store? I sure don't. Guess the re-loading on this website will have to do:rolleyes:

I want a WEBCAST. Come on Apple...

WEBCAST

Preferably live. Preferably working unlike the last iTunes announcment.

I don't want to have to watch it in WINDOWS MEDIA again.

I agree.

Why not a Webcast?

No-one outside the US wil be able to watch it. No Apple Stores over here :(

C'mon Apple, give us a break, give us a LIVE feed! You have nothing to lose and only a buzz to gain. Wish they'd pull their heads out of the arses on this.

Well, at least they haven't said that they won't give us a live stream.

They better put one up, though...

(drumming fingers)

Nope, no sign of one on apple.com yet. :(

C'mon Apple!!!

Think about it, they stream it over satellite to their stores. What does this do? Get the super-excited INTO the apple store. Not only that, they are hyped, excited, a mob mentality and more likely to buy things.

Or, they could stream it to thousands of people who will go *cool* and then turn off the webcast, and *maybe* buy something.

I mean, it still stinks, especially since I"m near 2 apple stores, NEITHER of which are receiving the broadcast.
