Where can I watch WWDC 2010?

Unless you have a ticket (available here for a tasty $1,599), sadly it's still out of bounds. Apple doesn't cover the keynote live, and others are prohibited to do so!

HOWEVER - not all is lost, mac-related websites/blogs around the world are here to give you the latest breaking news via RSS-News Feeds and other "Live Update" blogs.

I will keep an up-to-date list of the sites which will give you "Live Updates" of the event below...

MacRumorsLive.com
Gizmodo.com
Engadget.com

As always, Apple are kind enough to upload the keynote shortly after it's finished. You are often able to stream it from Apple Events or alternative, you can wait 24 hours after the keynote to download it in high quality straight from your iTunes!

The keynote starts at 10:00 AM (PT), also known to us brits as 18:00 PM (GMT), on the 7th June 2010! Be there!

Other times are:
07:00AM - Hawaii
10:00AM - Pacific
11:00AM - Mountain

My 3G is battered but still soldiering on. The screen has been kept pristine thanks to bodyguardz skins. Sadly there is dust under the screen on the right side, and the battery life is getting worse by the day.

Isn't dust under the screen one of the things that apple will replace the phone for even outside of warranty?

i7 Mac Mini with HDMI = WIN.

Heck, I'd even overlook the fact that I'd have to open it up to put in a Blu-Ray drive!
Click to expand...

Mac Mini 2.66GHz + DisplayPort=>HDMI + XBMC = 1080i playback @ 75% CPU.

Now that Apple have exposed the H.264 HW acceleration, XBMC already have it added in the nightly builds.. so that's 2.66GHz Mac Mini + HW accel = 12% CPU :D

I've actually attached a blu-ray drive to my MBP using an eSATA card but powered by the PC. It works :D

Currently the Mini is ripping through ClimatePrediction.net work..
