Bummer ... Apple's live event has been less than technologically impressive

I mean the actual presentation. Missed the first ten minutes -- wouldn't load. Then there was a foreign translation in the background during the first 28 minutes making it hard to hear the speakers. Lots of sudden stops and starts and freezes. Then Safari suddenly denied my access.



This isn't Apple.

I imagine the volume trying to connect and watch is record-setting though, so I'm not sure I am prepared to withhold benefit-of the doubt. That translater "overlay" sure was annoying though.

with access denied. I guess things got a bit overwhelming for them... Which perhaps when one includes the recent celebrity photo event, does not really bode well.
