- lane.montgomery, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23I've used this site before and have never had it go down (unlike some others).
The AJAX updating seems so obvious of a feature for something like this, but they were the first ones to do it and they've done it right the first time.
I'm not affiliated with the site or anything, but if you're hooked on knowning the minute the announcement is made, this is the best site to be on. - cambrown99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Macrumors has rocked with this update page the past few keynotes
- FitFinlay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Used this for the last keynote. The days of hitting Refresh a million times are over!
- coolbru, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Ajax requests are typically far smaller than HTML pages, so the server is able to deliver more of them, more rapidly, to more users. It also looks better without full page refreshes.
- Cander, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6How about clicking the link and finding out?
- Shakermaker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I'm gonna be watching this page for sure! Thanks for the link!
Digg'd! - TigerX, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9Maybe...

- bpapa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3ajax looks nicer.
- ppflea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The iPod Nano: The 2nd Generation
It's made out of aluminm, even thinner than the first gen. They're bringing back colors (like the mIni) It looks similar to the Mini, actually.
Battery life increased from 15 to 24 hours, gapless playback, instant search like the big iPod, and quick scrolling. Comes with the new headphones.
Comes in three models, 2GB model in silver, 4GB in silver, pink, green, blue, and 8GB in black.
$149 for 2GB, $199 for 4GB, $249 for 8GB model. Double the storage for the same price.
New packaging is 52% less volume than the old iPod nano. It's more "environmentally friendly".
All three are available today. - cakeeating, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I heart Ajax.
Thanks, digg, for helping me find this link. I lost it to the nether-web after WWDC. - billtaylor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This site doesn't crash..Engadget does. I read it as it goes along on MacRumors but then later in the day I go to Engadget.
- TigerX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The language on the button has changed all morning long... It's said "Watch Live Broadcast", "Watch the Special Event", "Watch Keynote", amoung oher things.
That's why I said "Maybe" for those of you playing the Digg home game... -_- - sputza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Good use of AJAX!
- joehobbes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2woohoo:
"Apple is releasing its long-rumored set-top box in Q1 2007. It will be Wireless"
"One LAST Thing" -- Steve faked me out - mobilehavoc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Although the Ajax thing is nice and all, Engadget does a better job covering this type of stuff because they post photos during the event rather than just plain text...
If you have Firefox, just download ReloadEvery extension at https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/115/
You can then set it up to reload the Engadget coverage every X seconds,etc. Comes in handy in other situations too. - angelp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Zuma, Pac-Man, Bejeweled, etc. will be $4.99 for the iPod? Glad to see they're reaching into other markets. I can't see paying for them, since I just bought them for Xbox 360 though.
- zenmouse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2They used to live webcast most of their keynotes. It's only in the past year or so that they stopped.
- noliberalbull, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2must say, it worked like a charm for me last time. I'll be here again... and updated engadget in another tab every now and then if they have pics like they did last time
- zenmouse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Hmm.. that link does say "live broadcast." Do you think they may actually webcast it this time? It HAS to be something big if they do live webcasting..
- stuartjmoore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2it's right, 10am pacific, 1pm eastern
- mobilehavoc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Isn't that video on Apple's site posted hours afterwards?
- kazem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They're posting a webcast of it on the apple site a few hours after it is over.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thanks!
- dawgma, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I thought they only made the keynote videos available *after* the actual speech was finished?
- olivierk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1MacRumorsLive has never failed me, it is rock solid.
- joehobbes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nice stuff so far... but no set top box?!?!?!
- zetsurin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is a brilliant site which has served me well since I started using it for the January MacWorld Expo. Big thank you to macrumorslive for the service.
- zenmouse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Haha good enough.. I actually have the quicktime window open just in case, and it says "live broadcast" on it. Let's hope!
- thermus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1When I first read the headline I thought Apple's presentation software, Keynote, was getting updated to include some kind of AJAX functionality...anyone else?
Hmm...remote presentations via the web using AJAX...this gives me an idea... - iAlex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"The Keynote is due to start in 1 hour, 5 minutes." Thought it was in 5 minutes. It might be wrong.
- mobilehavoc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@gmiller: When did they post pics? The Ajax site they have only has text...nothing else. Is there a different URL with pics?
- Clockw0rk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1seriously, this is the method that all 'by the minute' presentation coverage should be done. E3 would've been so much better if we had this rather than waiting a few hours for edited articles and video if you couldn't get a stream.
- gmillerd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1MacRumors did the same thing if you look, the had pictures as well.
In addition the 'mega post' format sucks for this thing. Where you need to scroll down to the bottom of the post, why the other sites did that I have no idea. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Remember when they edited out Kanye West's performance because it sucked serious monkey balls. I wonder if they will have anyone good performing this time...
- cjvino, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thx. Thought I was in a time warp for a sec....

Zapp Brannigan - angelp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"iTunes will give you cover art for free if you are missing cover art"
Thank you! - clabbergrrl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow, they've mastered the use of the setTimeout() function. I'm really impressed.
- Stecchino, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes, but this time they're not at the actual event. I'm using viewing Engadget this time (they have lot of photos too)...
http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-its-showtime/ - cjvino, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sites saying 1 hour and 37 minutes.
Since it's now 0923 Pacific, that can't be right.... can it? - menneke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ignore the time messages, their IRC feed has it wrong too. It will start in 30 minutes from now
- ppflea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Apple iTV: Wirelessly Stream Movies To Your TV
The new product: a box to connect to your TV to play all these iTunes Movies and iTunes TV shows on it.
This box supports wireless—no stringing cables—and is the missing piece.
iTV looks like a small Mac Mini. It's just an internal codename, and will be renamed later.
There's a power supply inside, USB, 802.11 wireless, Ethernet, HDMI, component, stereo audio, and optical audio out to your TV.
Whatever setup you've got, you can hook up to this iTV box. It can go out to your TV, stereo, whatever.
Steve's holdiing one. It's wider than a Mac Mini, but flatter.
iTV looks faster than Front Row. Looks similar to Front Row—has movie covers, TV covers.
When you're browsing your movies, it gives you the synopsis of the movie, stars, and the cover. - ebmnoize, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2what the heck is this with this apple news dominating digg?
I have nothing against apple or it's lovers, but for christ sake gimme a break. - ppflea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Jobs said the iTV will be released in the first calendar quarter of 2007 with a price of $299.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Do the ads update by themselves too?
- felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's awesome that CoverFlow has been brought into the Apple fold. I've been using this as a third-party app for quite a while now, glad to see that Apple found it worth assimilating.
I haven't seen the keynote yet, so I'm assuming they actually licensed it, and didn't just copy the idea. (I hope)
http://www.steelskies.com/coverflow/ - newfoundnoise82, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1what i can not figure out at all is if they will offer an iPod firmware update to existing 5g's to include searching, because it actually seems like a cool feature to add.
- bluering, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well I am pretty disappointed. I was ready to pull the trigger on a new wifi iPod phone thingy. Oh well, at least the stock market didn't beat them up too bad. I have some AAPL shares that would have been mega had they done something cool like a phone or full screen video player.
- menneke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Damn! The connection just broke... Digg effect already?
- BRSQUIRRL, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Oh man, the new version of iTunes looks awesome. Multi-PC iPod synch...THANK YOU STEVE.
