So, Apple failed to broadcast the MacWorld keynote live today. But so far, 852 people are in the IRC channel to read the blow-by-blow account relayed by people in the auditorium. I think Apple really shot themselves in the foot by delaying the webcast, as it means those of us that couldn't make it get the unspun version of the corporate story:
[17:13] <KFI_Leo> second highsest grossing store now
[17:14] <KFI_Leo> imac sales...
[17:14] <KFI_Leo> blah blah blah
It doesn't have the enjoyment of watching Steve "the master showman" Jobs at work, but it's certainly a great way of getting "just the facts" with none of the b.s.
Update: The server's at irc://irc.slashnet.org/#mercworld but it's full, hovering around 890 people.
