    Is there any website that will do a live video coverage of WWDC?

    Because I remember back in January, I was reading engadget and all sorts of other websites which were updating topics (in text) of what's happening at the keynote.

    I was just wondering if you guys know...

    Damn, I was only thinking of the Keynote. I know you have to pay to get into WWDC. But then why do they film it in HD and editing and stuff like that, just so they can put it on iTunes for free viewing, a day after?

    That's just weird...

    edit: Xander?

    If I remember correctly, Apple used to live stream video, but no longer. Its much easier to film, edit and then stream, rather than stream live.

    But yes, I'd love a live video feed too :p. Unfortunately, we're stuck with live updating blogs like Engadget and MacRumorsLive. They do a great job though!

    They probably want to avoid having problems in case Jobs has a wardrobe malfunction. :eek:

    Actually Apple has revealed new products by accident. I remember once when they posted the new G5 specs on their website although it was showing a G4 case. The specs were correct although Steve was waiting till WWDC to reveal the new G5 desktop. :D

    I've noticed they've been a bit late the past few times. Instead of say the afternoon of the keynote, its now usually like around 5 PM when the keynote appears on Apple.com, and usually so many people are watching the quality isn't so great until about two days after.

    I am excited to see the lines in front of Apple stores around the country for a product that may not even exist, ^_^

    people are crazy, it is awesome that Apple can get the internet and all forms of media in such a stir by not even doing anything really, just having a yearly conference they have been having for some time now.

    talk about good pre-marketing, if Apple stores took pre orders, which they never will, i bet iPhones would be sold out constantly.
