A whole bunch of people don't have a job in the morning.
- ldng 12y agoOr maybe a whole bunch of people don't live in the same time zone as you.
- dkokelley 12y ago??? I think the parent's implication is that people will lose their jobs tomorrow morning, because of today's poor production.
- ldng 12y agoOkay, I might have misread. From where I come from, when people watch something, say en Apple show, instead of working we say "some don't have work". That's what I misunderstood. I also assumed (wrongly ? I haven't checked) it was in California which meant it was morning already. The parents say "don't" not "will not". Even though there are trouble I very much doubt people are fired on the spot, they're too busy fixing it. But sure, some might. Later, in the future. Anyway, the comment was out of line an the downvotes deserves.
- catshirt 12y agodude, what?
- catshirt 12y agooh come on, 5 downvotes? like I'm the only one who didn't contemplate the complete lack of contextual or critical thought in the parent response
- MoOmer 12y agoOr, we had lunch
- danielweber 12y agoFrom the prep of this whole thing, with redirecting apple.com to apple.com/live, I felt it was intended to replicate Steve Jobs's reality distortion field. "If we are going this far out, it must be huge!" Ironically it's showing very clearly that the field has discorporated.
- snowwrestler 12y agoNot everything is about Steve Jobs. There were plenty of tech glitches in his keynotes, including with the live stream (when they rarely did one).
- ksec 12y agoI dont normally agree with these kind of things but honestly this time they deserve it. If this event ( and iWatch ) is really that important ( for Apple ) then this is the biggest screw up ever. Thousands ( possibly millions ) of People waiting and hoping to share the moment together and watching it live and be disappointed. This is the worst user experience ever.
- sbarre 12y agoAnd you really think people should lose their jobs over this? What's wrong with you?
- anigbrowl 12y agoAnyone who screwed up like this in the world of broadcast television would certainly be fired. I am actually etremely impressed by the new products (in a way I didn't expect to be), but this webcast failure tarnishes the launch and will directly impact their bottom line in the short term.
- totalrobe 12y agoYou have got to be kidding. The viewers of the livestream are already Apple fanboys who are going to buy all this crap anyways. Everyone else is just going to see it on Engadget, Gizmodo, Fox News, or wherever. This will not impact their bottom line one bit.
- lukifer 12y agoIt gives the press an unflattering story to run with besides "OMG new shiny", diluating Apple's carefully prepared marketing push. That's why it has impact beyond just Apple fans.
- Zikes 12y agoWell, that's sort of how business works, isn't it? I mean, they didn't just pick a few random techs and say "make this happen", they have people whose very job is the technology involved in making this thing happen. If someone demonstrates they fundamentally can't do their job, do you keep them on the payroll or do you find someone else who can get the job done?
- niutech 12y agoThey should've used Google Hangouts on Air :P
