Not live-blogging the SteveNoteMonday, June 09, 2008 by Dave Winer. I'm probably the only one who isn't. And I'm probably going to have to buy a new iPhone later today, I have no idea. In the meantime it's really upsetting watching all the geek journos scrambling for scraps. Which raises a simple question. 1. Why don't they broadcast Apple keynotes on MSNBC or CNN? All this makeshift jury-rigged michegas. It was cute for a while, but this has been going on for 25 years! Of course someone must be live-screening it via Qik or somesuch. If you know of any please post a comment here. Yahoo Live has over 2700 viewers. The quality sucks. I'm watching another one that so far has pretty good quality, so sorry I'm not going to advertise a link. :-( No I'm not going to pay-per-view for an infomercial! Geez Louise. What is it about Apple that inspires such insipid submission. |
