It was going to be epic. Until they decided to stream it.
This keynote is running like a PC. #AppleLive

While the biggest shock should have been the announcement of a fancier-than-the-leaks iPhone 6 or an iWatch, or maybe some updates to Apple TV, the second screen moment of the day was Apple’s own live-stream. How much did it stink? Let us count the ways:
First, you had to use Safari. Who does that?
Then, the music.
all tweets are about the overlapping audio hahahaha #applelive #stillnotfixed — Aileen (@lolgirl607) September 9, 2014
Then, the stream went down everywhere, especially Apple TV.
#AppleLive: It’s showtime! Live-stream may be down, but we have real-time updates from inside: http://t.co/xvQ1nFgMII pic.twitter.com/Fk10OzxhRz — Gigaom (@gigaom) September 9, 2014

More updates from AppleLive — if we can figure out what the translator is saying — coming soon.
