Here I'll be posting news from the WWDC Keynote Address minutes (maybe seconds) after it rolls out of Stevie's mouth. And then (like BOOM!) you can all post your reactions. The format will be as close to one-liners as we can get them, so subscribe to this thread and you'll be sure to stay abreast of the latest and greatest.

We are also collecting feeds from many different sources for WWDC and displaying the results in #WWDC on irc.macspeak.net with your IRC client or use our forum's java client.

So you're actually at the WWDC then, I presume?

: Cannonball!!

IRC, which is supposed to be faster isn't it?

[Korrupted]

I guess it would be, yes.  Sorry for spamming up your topic.

[TheQuantumByte]

Right I'm all ears!

Other sites with live or semi live coverage are
Apple insider
Mac Rumors
TUAW
Engadget
MacNN
Apple Blog
macdailynews
and more

so load up your tabs!

Just to be clear, we'll be pulling information from most of those "live" sources in order to get the clearest possible picture for those of you keeping score at home. It'll be as close to live as you can get without being there. We did it this way last year and it seemed to work out well.

Maybe next year we'll actually send a mole to WWDC.

[ampTK]

wouldn't be better to do this on the IRC?

just a suggestion

[sandmanfvrga]

Stupid question, but when is WWDC?

[ampTK]

If done on the IRC its faster and you don't have to refresh every couple of seconds.

My problem with IRC is the campus blocks it at the gate...   =(

But I could take an extended lunch and watch from home?   It's at 1:00pm here.

[munky]

An hour and a quarter to go.

The planets of Rumoria and Factum are aligning as we speak...

[sandmanfvrga]

Sweet.  I hope we get ATI Universal drivers.  Would allow Hackintoshes to use alot more ATI cards.

[non sequitur]

[LlamaV3]

I just looked at the developer connections downloads (lucky me) but there isn't anything new yet, i wonder if something might pop up for download shortly after the speech, i so hope so

You can still be on IRC and comment as it happens - but not everyone has access to or likes using IRC.

Ditto on the bingo shoutout - although i think if it was heard on the video the apple engineers will edit it out before publishing it.

52 minutes to go...

[Mr. Bond]

Yeah, I'm sitting in the ArsTechnica IRC channel. They've got a guy messaging back live from in the conference. I think their servers are maxed out with users though.
