MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

I really want to download the WWDC from 2006 and 2007. Does anybody know of a place where I can download these two videos to watch for offline viewing? Thanks Alot

How come that my QuickTime movie look like an 1000 puzzles, and with just a partly sound.

Any advice is highly appreciated. I use 512 ADSL

Man, that took a long time.

yah keep deleting my posts.
vod sucks, give us direct download.

Let me be the first to say GO APPLE!

Oh yea, I wouldn't be your friend if I didn't warn you about the possible privacy dangers of EFI based Mac's and Trusted Computing.

EFi is a rather powerful firmware level that can access the internet, read hard drives, intercept hardware calls and download things independent of the operating system and quite frankly without your knowledge.

It was designed for stringent DRM schemes, but EFI can be used maliciously or made carelessly insecure by poor developers. The UEFI group handles EFI and not Apple. So there might be a little lax thing going on here after the sale of a new Mac.

Apple currently has EFI empty, but a developer could use it. Nobody is really checking what's going on in EFI by third party developers.

I bring this awareness to you in the hopes of generating interest that your privacy and security be maintained and not carelessly thrown to the wind much like it is on Windows.

I wish Apple to succeed and wish EFI wasn't a part of it, but Intel created it and it's there on all new Mac's, waiting to be exploited for good or evil purposes.

Just be aware OS based software lke outgoing firewalls and such don't work for EFI. Your computer can now connect to the internet without your knowledge, unless something is installed in EFI itself. So far there isn't any software made to govern this powerful firmware enviroment.

MDW: involved "Get involved with the security and privacy of your computers or it will vanish"

I keep getting a 504 error. I want it to play!!

Hey.... it's good to see MacDude is back.

It's too bad that Apple can't just post the video in iTunes so that we can watch it on our AppleTVs (like the Wall Street Journal did with the All Things D conference featuring Steve & Bill).

Guess Apple can't get too upset with the Movie studios if they won't even post there own video on iTunes...

MacDude came back a few days ago... Still going on and on with his trusted computing BS.

Dave, give it a day or two and the keynote will be in iTunes.. Both January's MacWorld keynote and the more recent All Things D conference took a few days to be up in iTunes as well.

Is it me or is the video quality of the Keynote just crap. I can't enlarge it without it looking very pixelated (sp?). I do have a cable modem with plenty of bandwidth to spare. This doesn't bode well for those Windows users not very familiar with the usual quality of Quicktime video.

I just watched it, and while I am looking forward to Leopard, I didn't see much that I wasn't already aware of. It seemed like the developers in the audience were a bit luke warm too. With 300 features, why only 10 demos? And of those ten, which were new besides the desktop, finder and coverflow incorporation? I've got to believe that they were disappointed with Web 2.0 method of iPhone development as well; it requires a web connection to function. I'm sure there are many that want to make use of the iPhone when it is completely off-line. I really liked the new Finder additions. They look to make access to all the machines I have in various location very simple. It also means that I don't have to carry so many duplicate files on my laptop when I can access the originals so simply.

My main disappointment is the lack of iChat compatibility on the Windows side. I can't make use of any of the neat additions with my typical business clients. iChat for Window would be killer.

Still not very impressive.

Video quality is absolute CRAP too.

The servers must be damn well overloaded tonight because the video just won't load.

I agree with Jaribbs, this doesn't look good to the 'casual' quicktime user.

Maybe next time we get a bigger pipe for the bigger demand.


MW: process

Maybe today there are plenty of times when the iPhone will be completely off-line. But the day will surely come when between cell and wifi coverage, you'll be online all the time (and of course, have an unlimited data plan!)

So I wonder what Apple/AT&T;(and throw Google in for good measure) is doing to toward universal coverage. Plus I wonder what all of them are doing to provide the web-service back end, i.e., what's happening with Apple (.Mac), AT&T;, Google, Yahoo, etc ?

Still going on and on with his trusted computing BS.

Hello I'm MikeK, I don't care about my privacy or security, I have a always on internet cam mounted over my bed to catch my most personal actions for all the world to see.

I also have a toilet cam, a shower cam and use the word "password" for all my online banking.

Of course Ieave all my most personal data in text files in public folders with no password. I post my IP, email and physical addresses online for all to use.

Most of all I use Windows with no anti-malware software installed what so ever.

Why do I do this? Because I just don't care about my privacy or security.

Sure my bank accounts get drained by East European hackers ever week or so. Someone stole my identity last week for the tenth time.

But I don't care, because I have nothing to lose.

Do I care if anyone else loses? Of course not.

You could download last years one on iTunes, it was over a gig but it was much better than having it streamed. I just watched this one (streamed) and after a while it stopped stuttering but the quality was rubbish.

Re: I use 512 ADSL

My advice; You are a step up from dial up... get a bigger pipe!

Hey iScott are you sharing Lars K.S. Olsen's 512 ADSL pipe?

Looks fine here.

massive let down

where's the bloody hard ware ?

the mac mini hasn't been updated in 18 months

jeezus

also , i'm on 6 mb psec adsl and there's no sound

then again - who cares


it's not worth watching - total boring shyte

That quick poke at Ballmer's tongue was hilarious. I laughed til I cried.

Leopard is the greatest OS ever. HUGE improvements. Apple kicks ass, and I hope that dude from EA watched it. Carmack from ID rocks too.

Maple,
No, cable. Get an average 4.5Mbps down.

Aside from quality being crap last night, let alone the small video size itself, it just wasn't that impressive. There was certainly a 'thats kinda cool' reaction thru most of it but no 'WOW' factor that really stood out as far as a 'next generation OS' that everyone's been waiting for.

Wouldn't it be something if ZFS was in Leopard but got yanked after Sun's representatives pre-announced? As if one needed further proof of Apple's low tolerance for leaks.

They keynote movie is very entertaining - as long as you watch it on a PC running XP. Running the same movie on my brand new MacBook is completely worthless, and would convince any doubter to never buy a Mac. If I were Steven Jobs I would definitely have the crappy movie removed pronto, replace it with something not suited for a phone display, and then ask for somebody's head on a platter.
