If streaming isn't your thing you can now download Macworld 2008's keynote from the iTunes Store. It is, once again, in the Podcast section...

Thanks to Bender Bending Rodriguez who provided the download link in comment #7. This download is 3/8 the size of the podcast, and includes Randy Newman's performance. On the Windows XP computer I'm using right now to view it, though, the sound is out of sync with the video.....

Also, I was really disappointed after waiting for the download of the podcast to find that it was truncated before the Randy Newman performance. Maybe the RIAA was controlling the DRM for Randy, and thus he is only available on the streaming Quicktime version.......
I just realized... around 4:10 (when he talks about Time Machine, about to introduce Time Capsule) he says Tiger instead of Leopard. :O

It opened a Quicktime window for video, then the window shrunk down to just an audio feed. The whole thing was working fine as audio, just no picture at all. I have no idea what the problem was--I've viewed other streaming stuff just fine, even WMV streaming thanks to Flip4Mac. I even downloaded the brand-new Quicktime, and it made no difference.
The problem is, after digesting all the blogs on the keynote, I no longer have any interest in watching it. This was the first year I wanted to see the keynote "unspoiled" and avoided blogs all day Tuesday. So I was REALLY disappointed that I couldn't watch the stream Tuesday night. Now I could download it from the iTunes store, but why bother? I know what happens.
Or you could just watch the digested version (via digg): http://www.mahalo.com/The_Steve_Jobs_90_Minute_Keynote_in_60_Seconds

January 17 2008 at 11:19 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replyyeah - I thought it was strange when I got home the day of the keynote and could only watch it streaming in QuickTime instead of being able to watch it on my apple TV.
