Does anyone know how I can download that keynote address onto my hard drive? I've been interrupted 3 times so far, and then this last time I got as far as when Jobs was going to talk about the MacBooks when the stream suddenly went dead. Every time it's interrupted, I have to start from the very beginning again. It's hard enough to sit in one place for that length of time, but to have to start over from the beginning again?

If I could download the .mov file itself, then I could start/stop whenever and wherever I want.

I was wondering the same thing. I have qt pro but it doesn't let you save it.

It's working fine now. I can open it in Safari and Quicktime and even advance it to where I had left off, and it's working as it should now. Maybe there was just too much traffic earlier?

Nah - I don't think anybody much pays attention to these keynotes at all.

The stalling/stopping thing seems to be happening to most people, but you don't have to restart each time. My method is to just pause it as soon as it stalls; then it "Waits for Media" for about 8 seconds, usually buffers for a couple more, then resumes in the same place. If it times out, just hit the Play/Pause again and it will reconnect, and start playing, but you should still be in the same place. Also, you can slide the playhead to any spot, and it will start from there, it just might take a while.

But yeah, I understand what you mean, the stream is slow and cumbersome to most people, espeiclally with everybody trying to connect.

And one more thing... (no pun intended :D ): Last year, the website http://www.differentdistrict.com posted an actual QT movie (not a stream) of the entire MacWorld Keynote available to registered users of their site I believe. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they're doing it this year. (They're not the most well-known of all the Mac-based sites out there...)

Hey all i have to say about it is this.....

What no 17" MacBook Pro ?
and whats the deal with the Intel Core Duo? i see nothing about it being a 64 Bit? Sadly I feel we are going backwards??? I hope not. ok I can live without a Firewire 800, but isnt Leopard supposed to be all about being 64 Bit.

I just hope a 12" MacBook Pro is on the way..... Will be a nice step up from my 12" iBook..... Hopefully just in time, won't be home until April anyway..... fingers crossed.....

I am dubious about the 4-5 times faster claim too.... Is this clock speed?? Or can I now open Dashboard 4 times as fast???? Apple have been known to make slightly dodgy claims in the past.... At least I have learnt one thing, never buy anything new from Apple before a keynote!!!

One the last pages there was a link to an article that explained this really well. But this is the basics.

They tested the processors to see how well they process both integers and floating point integers. These are the basic units that all programs use in order to function. Their different in many ways, but the way it was always explained to me is that integers are used for hard mathmatical calculations and floating point is used when you don't need to be as precise (like in a computer game where being off by 1/100000000 of a pixel really doesn't matter.)

They say 4-5 times faster on the macbook pro because when they ran the integer test it went 4 times faster than a G4 and when they ran the floating point test it went 5 times faster than a G4.

But, the tests were designed specifically for dual core processors, so running them on any single core system (like the G4) would make them sluggish. I want to hear some bench marks for a single core tester as well. So if anyone runs one, tell me.

And I found the link, here it is reposted:

And as a final statement, rejoice all ye stock holders, Apple went up about $10 a share from a few days ago. It rests at 83 a share (or so).

yeah that was happening to me too it finally started to play well. id like to download all the keynotes on my hd but the only program i know of on mac that can do this is snapz pro and it's alright when it works www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/ does anyone knows a better program? free would be great :)
