Apple keynote: live(ish) from a London pub
Tuesday, June 7th, 2011
I’ve watched all manner of events on a big screen at the pub: football, rugby, that weird version of rugby that Americans in riot gear play, to name but a few. Last night, however, the London Macintosh User Group (LMUG) invited me to sample a whole new viewing experience over a pint of Guinness and a pack of pork scratchings: a Steve Jobs keynote.
Of course, nobody really watched the Apple keynote except the thousand or so US journalists and developers who were granted an Audience With Steve Jobs. Bizarrely – for a company that makes the Soviets look like corduroy-wearing liberals when it comes to exerting control over the media – Apple decided not to stream the event live.
The perfect Jobs’ keynote
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008
Steve Jobs is clearly not a football fan (at least not the variety of football where you predominantly use your feet, rather than your hands). If he was, he wouldn’t have spent two hours of Monday night tediously trawling through demo after demo of mind-numbing iPhone apps before arriving at “the money shot” of the iPhone 3G itself, thus single-handedly depriving me of the chance to watch the game of the Euros so far, Holland vs Italy.
What really gets up my nostrils is that it was all so unnecessary, as proven by this video, which beautifully condenses the entire two-hour Jobs’ yawn fest into 60 seconds.
Next time I’m watching the keynote, rather than the football, highlights.
