"Viewing requires either a Mac® running Safari® on Mac OS® X version 10.6 Snow Leopard®, an iPhone® or iPod touch® running iOS 3.0 or higher, or an iPad™." I guess windows and linux users need not apply.

Now Apple:
> Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork, and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple is reinventing the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and has recently introduced its magical iPad which is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices.
Love or hate, they've left their mark on this place.

Pretty funny how that sentence is preceded by "based on open standards".
Is there an HTTP Live Streaming client for Linux?

Neat, the live stream returns. Does anyone know when they stopped doing that? It will be interesting to see whether the stream holds up or crumbles. Steve Jobs had problems accessing the web on the new iPhone during his last presentation because of all the devices with wifi and the mifis in the audience. Could the live stream be a reaction to that? (With a live stream in place larger parts of the press will probably…
..larger parts of the press will probably be ok with stricter rules with regard to wifi or mifi usage.. I don't think they'll be happy. If the stream holds up all the live blogging is kinda pointless hits the nail on the head as to why.
(It probably costs the tech sites a lot of page views, so I can certainly understand why they wouldn’t be happy about it.)
Let's see, we have this beautiful HTTP Live Streaming technology based on open standards but somehow it can only be appreciated on a Mac or iPhone...
This must be one of those standards hated by everyone else...

HTTP Live Streaming uses standard HTTP transactions and has been submitted as an internet draft with the intention of becoming an open standard [1]. Is there an HTTP Live Streaming client for Linux? [1] http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-...

You might just be right. Large parts of the tech press probably aren’t happy that they can now pay much more attention and do critical and profound write ups afterwards. They would much rather just transcribe every word Jobs says and frantically upload photos :-) (It probably costs the tech sites a lot of page views, so I can certainly understand why they wouldn’t be happy about it.)
They're journalists. Their job is to gather information. I'd be surprised if the only way a site like Ars Technica or TUAW could get information is by waiting for a stream from Apple. The point of videos is for everyone else who isn't a journalist and didn't get invited to a special event. Not to help journalists do their work.
I love how unambiguous Apple is about their feelings on their own products in press releases. Consider Microsoft: > Founded in 1975, Microsoft (Nasdaq “MSFT”) is the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential. Now Apple: > Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork, and professional software. Apple…

But hey, it's PR.

If they were resumes, Apple would get the job.
