2003.01.07 San Francisco MacWorld 2003 SteveNote™ Speech
Since Graham and I didn't go to MacWorld San Francisco this year we did the very next best thing, we watched the SteveNote™ live via QuickTime streaming at 9am Tuesday. I set up my PowerBook with some speakers and a clean wired connection to the Internet. We were one of 50,000 live QT streams. With QTPro we were able to watch the presentation in full screen without any hiccups! I took some pictures of the SteveNote™ in similar fashion to a real Kenote speech.
