Well, still, for a company that tries to make everything "simple and beautiful", why don't their video streams just work everywhere out of the box? That is the question.
Apple fans can justify anything - so don't expect anyone to say, yeah they are behind the curve on this.
The better answer is probably: "They simply don't care". No ifs and buts. Probably making it a bit exclusive and hard to get to only adheres to their marketing philosophy.

#86Apple.com/ has been redirecting to apple.com/live for about ~20 hours now. They're very confident about what's about to be presented.
You know what I wonder? An alternative explanation to a very confident Apple is just that they changed their attitude about all this, thinking there is not really much of a difference between them providing a countdown or others doing it (before the last Keynote this countdown webpage got pretty huge), between them providing a liveblog or others doing it (there are always many liveblogs with often crappy photos, so w…
Why a countdown? Probably because they're launching a watch. Wait and see. My guess is they hint at the why during the event, probably in the opening minute or so. They will also probably use time-based headlines in the slides.

#87I'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'd love for it to be able to be an input device for macbook & imac. Something like the Leap Motion but worn on the wrist and auto linking with the nearest device.

#88Who wants to see the mac mini revived? ;)
Seconded! I've been wanting to replace an older iMac with a mini for a some time now. The mini is in dire need of a refresh given that it's been since 2012 that the guts were updated and 2010 since the design was updated.

They've been using a '301 MOVED PERMANENTLY' redirect, meaning they are extra serious about this.
Or lazy about their redirecting. 301's are supported by pretty much every browser, indexer and wget/curl whereas 302's sometimes fail on those. Its also pretty easy to reissue another 301 from /live to com/
Considering I get this: "Sorry, your browser doesn’t support our live video stream."
I'm pretty sure compatibility isn't the reason of that choice.
