Apple to Provide Live Video Stream for Media Event


Recommended Posts

I'm sorry, but IMO: Apple TV is fail.

Only Apple could hype a product that already exists in various forms and imply that it's some sort of new original thing. I can do that with my 360. It can be done with a PS3. Plenty of other TV boxes have been doing that stuff (with the exception of iOS device streaming, which I admit is cool; still, this has been done with laptops and PCs), too. Why anyone would pay $99 for that I don't know.

If you don't have any of those devices though, and don't have cable, this is a perfect solution to still be able to catch your TV shows in a high quality, legal, and cheap way.

They didn't hype it as a completely new product wacko.gif

Also if your just going to be renting movies, streaming, using netflix and such, why would you want the noise + heat factory which is an xbox 360.

Plus equivalent priced streaming products, don't have access to itunes for movie/tv rentals.

How was Steve able to stream Iron Man 2 on Apple TV when it hasn't been released on DVD yet?

well.... there was Chris Martin playing like a slave for him hehe, he can do anything

The device in itself is nothing too impressive, but I think the iTunes rental service (read: TV rental) is a pretty good deal. I think 4.99 for movie rental is still a bit too rich for my taste. But 99 cent TV episode rentals is a pretty good friggin deal. And if you want to take advantage of that service on your TV, AppleTV is the only way to do it.

That and netflex...

The unreal demo looked awesome. Can't believe thats on a phone.

I like the idea of the apple TV too, but I think the best solution would have been to give people the choice of streaming or downloading. Its all well and good if you have a good enough internet connection to stream, but an awful lot of people don't. I know you can stream stuff from a computer, but I may aswell just plug my laptop right into my TV if I'm doing that.

Disappointed about the lack of an iPod classic update and lack of a nano capacity increase. I don't want a Touch as I have an iPhone, yet I have 25GB of music. So rules out anything from Apple for me really (unless I decide to buy a classic before they are no longer sold)

Here you can DL that EPIC-tech-demo. Downloading now, testing in a few seconds but it sure looks good from the screenshots and what has been shown at the keynote.

okay JESUS this is EPIC literally. Trees moving, leafs falling, birds flying.... bump mapping all over... looks AWESOME. a little sloppy at times but that's okay.

Seriously. Eat your heart out, PSP.

A. The 360 is not a "noise + heat factory." Neither is the PS3.

B. How is iTune better than any other service for movie/TV rentals? Answer: it's not.

There have been plenty of other products out there. Apple is hyping this for being something unique when it really isn't.

This is the first time I remember Apple doing live streams of their keynote since Macworld 2000.

And though this keynote is now on the Apple Keynotes podcast, it seems to have been cut off early. Did they have a guest musician at the end?

I do have to say, apple tv was impressive. I plan on picking one up because thatll be perfect for streaming, netflix, youtube, etc. I can also stream from my iPhone or gf's iPod Touch.

I liked the whole keynote overall. I love how the iPod Classics have been forgotten. Steve said "Our whole new iPod Lineup" and i got giddy with excitement, next thing you know, no iPod Classic. There not getting rid of it, but come on. Atleast give us a 250gb?

The iPod classic is clearly dead to Steve, and by extension, Apple. Apparently, "we're going to completely refresh every iPod model today" means every model except the classic.

My guess is they'll still sell it until current inventory runs out and then that will be it.

See and that's what I got from it when every model WAS refreshed besides

Classic. My 160gb classic is beautiful, prestine and works amazing! I just wish they would male it Bigger in hd size or slimmer in overall size

A. The 360 is not a "noise + heat factory." Neither is the PS3.

Although I love my 360 to death... I'm going to have to disagree with you here. Unless you have the new "stealth" 360, they were all noise + heat factories. Especially the first gens, which most people have.

Gotta say the same for my pre-slim era PS3. The thing sounds like it would rather die than take the heat.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
