The video started for me a few minutes ago, anyone else notice that there seems to be two songs playing in the background at once?
Same here. It's very annoying.

I'm guessing that the mics are picking up the hall music, and some technician had instructions to play background music on the web feed.

Came here to ask if anyone else had that problem. The combination is really strange.
Yeah, it's quite bothersome. I've muted it until the show starts. Interestingly though, they seem to be playing a Tycho album in the background.

They've been using a '301 MOVED PERMANENTLY' redirect, meaning they are extra serious about this.
Correct me if I'm wrong. IIRC, there isn't a status code for temporary moved *with a timeout. If you use 307, it means the browser will always still check the original apple.com first, then get redirected to apple.com/live. Using 301 would make browser go to apple.com/live directly which improves response time. When the event is finished, they can do a 301 on apple.com/live back to apple.com to overwrite the rule.

Ever since Apple originated consumer computer video with Quicktime back in the early 1990s, they've done a great deal to make it better, first for CD Roms and in a proprietary fashion. But when the net came around they opened up their proprietary format to become a standard-- the Mpeg4 file format is the old MOV format. They've also proposed a lot of improvements along these lines for other people to adopt. Like Bonj…
None of those things are open standards. Both Mpeg4 and "Bonjour" require a licence to utilise. Maybe that answers your question, people don't want to pay Apple oodles of money? > Frankly, I think its appalling that youtube, for instance, is still running on flash. Everyone can turn on HTML5 for YouTube if they wish. They offer both. They give you the choice, the default is Flash (but Flash still has the widest suppo…
Bonjour was released under an open source license, part of it the Apache license, and does not require a royalty to be paid to Apple.
I turned on HTML5 video for youtube and I still have this problem, because they don't encode all videos in MP4.

Argh, yes...it's really unpleasant.
