2006 WWDC Keynote now available on Apple.com

Go forth and stream the WWDC Stevenote, my good friends. It is now available in glorious QuickTime. Thrill as the Mac Pro is announced. Marvel as Mail is demoed. Swoon as Steven says 'Boom.'
Thanks, Kurt.

It just buffers forever for me, and disconnects with a 400 error - Any suggestions?

And of course, just like every other goddamned WWDC/Macworld Keynote stream has been for the past 10 years, it's absolutely friggen impossible to watch it, because it drops frames 90% of the time.
You'd think Apple would have figure out by now how to host a high-demand web stream, but apparantly not.

I know what I'm doing tonight.
Just me and my iMac. Watching a Stevenote.

Anyone know how to download this .mov, as opposed to streaming it?
I know it must be possible, because these files always appear on "other" sites for download.
It's just a matter of deciphering the location of the file, right?
So, anyone?

It's surprising that Apple didn't have the insight to offer this as a paid download from the iTMS. I sure would pay $1.99 to download this immediately as a Quicktime, insteasd of suffering through an unwatchable Quicktime stream.

Direct link to the mp4/350px stream (encase you're being forced to watch the 110px)
This also doesn't lag for me, its nice and fast

Why can't Apple just post a normal freaking video to download. Many years, three different Mac's, and a major connection upgrade later and this video doesn't play any better than the first streaming Stevenote I watched.

Phil Schiller... Apple's Steve Balmer but without the energy. Talk about how to make the big news seem dull. He's launching the Pro desktop to the developers and it just sounds boring.

Products intros were boring- the products themselves are boring. How much speed does anyone really need. I get by fine doing everything I would ever dream of with a PowerMac G4. I've lost interest keeping up with the newest stuff mainly because I believe the power of the computer has far surpassed any real necessity for that much power. Most users I know that need high end graphic power are totally happy with the G5 capability. I think the wave of the future will see people spending less time in front of a screen and more time doing activities, art, and entertainment, in real, old fashioned, organic nature. At least for me the artificial 2D world that a computer (or any screen/display) brings is passé and a waste of time. I hope that others see the value in getting away from the computer screen and into reality. It will be a better world without companies like Apple shoving the idea down our throats that computers are cool and we can expand ourselves by using them. It's just not true. Bye Apple.

Paging Dr. Irony. I have time to post on a blog about a developer's conference but I am *so* sick of having this crammed down my throat and being forced to utilize this passe 2D machine that robs me of my vital life-force. With each character stroke I weep because it is a second of time (organic time at that) which I shall never regain. Woe.

So, at 0:54 His Steveness is demoing Voiceover, and using some standard text he plays the Tiger voice, the Leopard voice, and in between the Vista voice. Was the Vista voice pre-recorded? Or is Vista running in the background? Or some part of Vista running in the background? Was this a brief silent demo of the Red Box?
And was he giving tryouts to a successor? If so, where oh where was Jonathan Ive?

Did anyone else think that his Steveness looked very thin?
I would not want to speculate on his health, but I was shocked at how thin he looked - he is American afterall, so should he not be another 50lbs heavier?

Does anyone know of a location where this stream has been ripped to a torrent? Would be nice to be able to download and watch at leisure, rather than waiting for demand to go down.

I thought the same thing.
