Macworld San Francisco 2007 'Spoiler Free' Keynote Stream [Updated]

Apple will kick off Macworld San Francisco on January 9th with a keynote speech from Steve Jobs. News sites across the web will cover every announcement in detail, while Apple's site will be updated with any new products announced.

Some readers prefer watching the keynote themselves without knowing the outcome. Unfortunately, there is no live video feed for the keynote. Instead, Apple posts a recorded Quicktime stream (usually) a few hours after the keynote completes.

For those individuals, we've posted this news story which will be updated with the link to the MWSF 2007 Keynote speech once it becomes available from Apple. No other news stories or announcements will be displayed alongside this story.

The keynote takes places on January 9th, 2007 at 9AM Pacific time.
For the rest of the readers who want up-to-the second information (text and photos), we will provide second-by-second coverage at MacRumorsLive.com and full updates at MacRumors.com


Update: Apple has posted the on-demand stream of the keynote, however the page it has been posted on contains spoilers. To watch the keynote without visiting this page open Quicktime Player, select "Open URL" from the File menu and paste the following URL:

Hey guys,

I want to watch the QuickTime stream "fresh," without knowing anything going in. This has worked OK in the past, but I always get a little spoiled before I watch the show (MacBook Pro, new Shuffle). Is there a link (webpage, e-mail, RSS) that I can simply get the notice once the QuickTime stream is up, and what the link is? In the past, I have watched:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/appleevents/
but they don't always update that page right away (I have watched that page for more than a day before while the link was up).
I guess I could use the current numbering system and set my home page to:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/mwsf07/
(my home page is currently apple.com).

Any ideas? Thanks for the input.

I would just keep checking that second URL to see if it's been posted. Possibly have an occasional look at the first URL just in case they decide to change their directory structure, but I highly doubt they would at this point.

There is also no guarantee that the link will be active during the keynote (aka live) . I made the mistake of Digging WWDC 2006's QT link. It got to the front page, but it wasn't live..

I was :o

Oh, no...I don't think much of anyone expects there to be live coverage. They did away with that some time ago. But the QT archived video should be up within a few hours after the keynote ends.

Right... I am talking about the "archive" video that they host after the event... I SO miss the live feeds (I remember when they canceled them)!!!

The reason for the post here was in hopes that there would be others like me... enough to warrant a page, link, RSS, e-mail, something of the sort. Guess not. No biggie.

isn't there perhaps an easier solution to this? Why don't we either talk to one of the moderators on here or someone who doesn't mind can go onto apple's website and the direct link to the feed when it is up.

Cool i prefer to see the introduction gives it the wow factor rather than the mild excitment of reading the keynote.
