Earlier quoted context omitted.

It uses Apple HTTP-LiveStream library which only Safari has support for (even though its opensource and unencumbered)... It has little to do with lock in

VLC on Windows plays it fine from the direct stream. http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/14pijnadfpv... EDIT: I shouldn't say fine, the stream keeps dropping out completely or just has audio. But I think even the Safari people are having that problem.

Thanks, that should be the top comment! :)

First no video, then constant mixing between the TV Truck schedule, a video of the crowd, a video of the presentation screen showing the apple logo, a message showing apple copyright. Refreshed a few times, got 'access denied to server' page a few times. Then got video with Chinese translations talking over the presenter. Then it suddenly stopped, I pressed 'resume' to get the TV truck schedule again. On an iPad.

Tim Cook's leadership right there. Jobs would never have tolerated this crap. Come on Apple live up to your hype.

Jobs led them to do it right in the first place. Quality does not happen after the fact.

Chinese finally went away at 10:30
