AppleTV stream is amazing for me. No hiccups or anything.

 

[flyover]

I don't think I've ever opened Game Center on my MBP. Ever.

Holy shit. Until this minute, I didn't even know my MacBook had Game Center.

 

[Toki767]

Tim Cook sounds like he's the only one impressed.

 

[sikkinixx]

Do companies do these masturbatory recaps so that news outlets can get juicy quotes? "200 MILLION iOS DEVICES ON iO^ SAYS APPLE CEO TIM COOK!"

 

[AirBrian]

Streaming on my iPhone. F'n glorious.

 

[Raelson]

Tim Cook really sucks at being Jobs.

 

[Chris R]

So what about the most beautiful, powerful mapping service ever, Tim?

Jaw dropping.

 

[Croc]

He sounds like he's talking to an audience of 5 year olds.

 

[Technosteve]

enough with the foreplay i'm not here to be fluffed show me the goods

 

[JackEtc]

LOL he totally paused for an applause when talking about the apps downloaded, and nobody clapped. Love those moments.

 

[victreeb3l]

cnet people are fucking awful, god shut the fuck up

tim cook sounds hilarious lol dude is really not a good speaker

 

[The Real Abed]

Who wants to bet he won't mention the maps app?

Maybe he'll mention iOS 6.1 with a new updated Maps that's better than ever?

lol

 

[LCfiner]

Cook is seriously padding this out. so much fluff these first 10 minutes

 

[Deepo]

Fantastic abs!

 

[TxdoHawk]

Prediction: To be called iPad Mini. Same as iPad 2 in a smaller frame. $250.

I'm gonna go with $299, although I wouldn't be shocked at $329.

 

[lupinko]

Is the stream actually working for anybody? Mine is just forever loading.

Working fine for me, but I'm streaming on my iPhone 4.

 

[Frustrated_me]

JAW DROPPING !!

... Honestly this shit needs to stop.

 

[fluffydelusions]

This cnet stream is annoying. No one wants to hear there commentary

 

[JaggedSac]

The way he talks reminds me of this

 

[Kurdel]

He sounds like he's talking to an audience of 5 year olds.

Considering people in the audience are furiously typing his words, I imagine this is intentional.

 

[golem]

He sounds like he's talking to an audience of 5 year olds.

Appropriate for tech "journalists".

 

[buhdeh]

These conferences get filled with more and more fluff every time. Why does anyone care that 28,000 messages are being sent on iMessage or that there are 125m documents on iCloud?

 

[vicissitudes]

Watching this stream and thinking "fuck I hate this guys voice" made me realize I never actually heard Steve Jobs speak. I have no idea what his voice sounds like, Lol.

Tim has zero charisma.

Yup, sounds so forced. Ugh.

 

[ashrafazlan]

no one clapped when he mentioned the amount of photos shared.

 

[Cloudy]

Stream is working fine on iphone

 

[Reave]

I feel like a 5 year old being read a bedtime story.

 

[Kiraly]

349$

 

[Baconsammy]

Stop pimping iBooks. Everyone knows it's a poor man's Kindle.

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

He talks like a first-grade teacher, or a librarian at an elementary school.

 

[Suburban_Nooblet]

I wish ibook store would match amazon prices....

 

[kharma45]

Amazing so far, amazing.

 

[SlowRevolution]

iBooks for Mac announcement please

 

[JackEtc]

YO CHECK OUT THESE READING THEMES

REVOLUTIONARY

Do companies do these masturbatory recaps so that news outlets can get juicy quotes? "200 MILLION iOS DEVICES ON iO^ SAYS APPLE CEO TIM COOK!"

All companies do it, but it's only relevant when Apple does it. I'm not even sarcastic. Apple headlines bring the most clicks. There was a great Onion article about it.

 

[flyover]

Yes. It's a spoken press release.

Also, the reason they're streaming this probably isn't so much for us regular folks. It's so the media who can't be there (particularly non-tech/non-Apple media) can watch live and get the news out this afternoon and evening.

 

[acheron_xl]

enough with the foreplay i'm not here to be fluffed show me the goods

They have to clean up after Topolsky, then the handjobs for everyone else can begin.

 

[pxleyes]

When you shout huge numbers left and right, they lose meaning. 300 million! 35 billion! Etc...

 

[CrankyJay]

SEEP-IA?

 

[Kammie]

The shit I put up with just to see if iTunes 11 releases today. This guy is just masturbating on stage.

 

[noah111]

"Today we're introducing a new version with a new feature — continuous scrolling — just flick."

Niiiice. Love it when they update iBooks.

 

[Tiktaalik]

Tim Cook was a fine presenter at the last press conference and yet is absolutely terrible and driving me mad in this one.

 

[Ty4on]

They said on Twit they couldn't do a direct mirror of the stream and had to cut it in and out. That's why they interrupt him on Cnet.

 

[Darko]

He talks like a first-grade teacher, or a librarian at an elementary school.

"this is really cool"

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

For some reason I think Tim Cook looks like a middle point of morph between Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie.

 

[The Real Abed]

The only thing that could get me to buy an iPad mini without Retina is if it had a cheap $300 at most price and 16GB at lowest. 8GB and there's no deal. At that point I'll just wait for iPad 4 and "suffer" with a 10" screen for another couple years.

 

[CoilShot]

[1-D_FTW]

Continuous scrolling? Joy. Let me search for where I left off.

 

[.GqueB.]

Yup, sounds so forced. Ugh.

His voice sounds floaty. Like when you talk to children about fairy tales and you add that little breath after.

 

[LyleLanley]

That's what my facebook newsfeed needs...quicker access to quotes.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Cook has no game.
