BANDWIDTH! The MacRumors site works great and is easy on the bandwidth for their servers because they only send out a few lines of text at a time. And yes, macrumors updates from the top, so you never have to do anything for scrolling. considering they do much of their gathering with cellphone calls or SMS messages, it's really cool. Apple doesn't allow wireless laptops to connect at their shows, In the past Apple has picked some very nasty spots with poor cell phone coverage.This time is about VIDEO, so it's fitting they stream it!
Well 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.
No, you will have to rebuy updated resolution videos.This is from a company that warns you to back up your purchased music because if you lose the file, you can't re-download the file again, even though you technically own it.

Yes, but this time they're not at the actual event. I'm using viewing Engadget this time (they have lot of photos too)...<a class="user" href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-its-showtime/">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-its-showtime/</a>
