Earlier quoted context omitted.

It seems to have improved by this point. No more ultra-loud dubbing or TV truck schedules.

But it freezes randomly, only thing I can do to fix it is reload the page, and 9 out of 10 times the page loads half-assed or there's no video at all.

Yeah, I spoke too soon. My stream has completely dropped out now, I'm not sure what's going on.

Anyone else seeing the TV Truck schedule instead of the keynote right now?

My guess is they underestimated the number of viewers and didn't have enough bandwidth prepared.

Yeah, this is only the like second or third of these they've ever done, right? /sarcasm

I'm getting older, so maybe my desires don't match up with the majority of tech people's anymore, but does anyone really want an iWatch (or whatever it ends up being called)? I am just not sold on the usefulness of such a thing.

I didn't get the point of a watch either, then I started surfing and needed to know when to stop to make it to work on time :) There is a whole market of people that want apps for running, surfing, and other things that are nice to have in wearable form, but cumbersome to use in a phone form factor--assuming the phone is even waterproof.

What about a regular watch? They are usually waterproof.

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.

A whole bunch of people don't have a job in the morning.

Or, we had lunch

Chinese finally went away at 10:30

Don't worry, it's back now :-)

Pretty sad, on my iPad I had it for a while first with the Chinese translation and then that faded out, then the video stopped but the 'live blog' updates kept going, and then Safari crashed. And now three versions: access denied, a plain text non-stylized page, safari crash.

Amazing that this isn't a solved problem by now.
