Alternatively, you can just load up Digg Swarm and wait for diggers to break the news, which is sure to be almost as fast. :)<a class="user" href="http://labs.digg.com/swarm">http://labs.digg.com/swarm</a>

No live QT stream from Apple, but the Apple Voices Podcast (<a class="user" href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=175086566)">http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=175086566)</a> will be providing podcasting and photostreams, plus you've got the live text updates as noted above.Usually though, apple later releases the event as a downloadable QT movie from here:<a class="user" href="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/appleevents/">http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/appleevents/</a>You can expect it to be up in a day or two.

I find it hard to say who ripped off who since apple will still beat vista to the market.

Ok so far they havent covered anything really jaw dropping. They said they are only covering Non-Secret features, which I hate how they do that! Grrrrrr....Wish Microsoft did that though instead of releasing their crap and then getting copied, I guess the door swings both ways...

I just priced out a Mac Pro with: * Two 3GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon * 1GB (2 x 512MB) * 500GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s * 500GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s * NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 512MB, Stereo 3D (2 x dual-link DVI) * 2 x SuperDrives * Both Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and AirPort Extreme * Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple wireless Mighty Mouse - U.S. English * Mac OS X - U.S. Englishversus a Dell Precision 690 with similar specs (well as similar as possible, of course you don't get all the software with Dell. Also I configured the Mac with the wireless/Bluetooth package with wireless keyboard and mouse):Results: Mac: $5788 (edu price)Dell: $6834 (non-edu price but let's subtract off 12% for edu price, so $6014)Winner: Apple on all fronts (unless you need more than 16 Gb of RAM, then Dell is your man, so to speak).

Seems to be no live audio streams either, which sucks...
