You'll need to use an Apple device to view this stream. -iOS 4.2+ -Safari on OSX -Apple TV

Off topic, but your post tweaked my brain's processing. I read those not as bullet points, but as a boolean search.

"It needs to be an Apple device, but not iOS, not Safari on OSX, and not an Apple TV."

I was trying to figure out what Apple Devices were left for a second before it clicked ;)

Discrimination for real. what's next ? Google banning safari browser from accessing search?

It probably cuts down on the number of people that can stream it making it less expensive for Apple and the stream more stable. And at the end of the day it's an Apple developer conference - Apple developers typical have Apple hardware which this can be viewed on.

In the past I've been able to get around this requirement by getting the stream directly. If today's anything like previous events, should be able to use these URLs to open in VLC (the URLs will change when the stream goes live):
