We're on the ground at D8!
Hey cats and kittens, if you're into technology (and let's be honest, you are), and you love live coverage of tech-related events, you're in luck, because we're on the ground and reporting live from D8. We're kicking things off tonight with a liveblog of a very rare Steve Jobs interview, and then we'll be tracking the trials and tribulations of tech luminaries and thinkers like Steve Ballmer, Julius Genachowski, and HTC's Peter Chou. It's going to be a crazy ride -- so hang on tight!























Steve has a lot of answering to do !
@Darth Vadar
I love these events, let's see what new magical things will unveil?! Maybe a limited edition black turtle neck wait for it......with multitasking :o. A guy can dream =[
@ThatDudeSolo I also want to hear what other goodies the other guys have up their sleeves.
@Darth Vadar: If I bet someone $15,000 about what Steve was going to wear, there are two drawbacks. 1, I don't know anyone that would bet that much, 2, I don't know anyone that doesn't already know what he's wearing.
@blenderman345
There is some intrigue left. Is going to wear his turtleneck sleeves up or not?
@Darth Vadar Yeah, he has a lot of explaining to do! lol!
@ThatDudeSolo By the way, what time does it start???
@Darth Vadar
Just please, God, nobody mention Flash!
@SuperBoi45 I'm not even sure -- i'm just gonna say in the next 30mins, I hope so anyway...I want to hit the gym with some pals.
@Darth Vadar
Steve ballmer: trials and tribulations, yes. Luminary / thinker? No.
@Darth Vadar
What Steve to do in the conference is to make All Things Apple.
I wish global times were posted for all of these live events... 6pm PT is 3am GMT, right?

@Ruben that can't be right, it's one am now right here, that says that the D8 starts at 11pm! i've checked another site that says 2 am, and most others say 3am! what?? why is this so complicated? am i just being idiotic? yes, probably.
@safe travels
iPhoen says SanFran 17:17 and its 01:17 now in London.
Just takin' out the trash.
I'm waiting for the video. I prefer watching it in video as if I was there.
I've got a "D8" with Steve Jobs tonight.
Are you referring to the interview where Jobs is explaining how OS8 downloads drivers automatically, and then OS8 divides by zero and explodes?
iPhone news pleeease. I need my daily dose of iPhone news!
Steve, just announce the "iPhone HD" already.
We all know enough about it.
Listen up for everything Steve claims won't be announced by Apple. Then way 2 years.
@ernie As in features he swears on his impeccable fashion sense, that the iPhone series won't have, and then release it later down?!
Madness I tells ya, Steve does not do such things!
Just want to see steve jobs clothes... again.
hopes some one asks him about
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/01/apple_boots_widgety_apps_from_app_store/
and his "We are not allowing apps that create their own desktops. Sorry."
statement since alot of high profile apps in fact do this like Microsoft's Bing, Adobe Ideas, and Major League Baseball's iPad app
Can you watch this live?
@Rusi125
not that i know of: (
@Rusi125 Nope, but they'll post video after the fact.
@Laura June
*takes a crap ton of photos,over lays text onto them, gifs them and Bam you have the video : )*
@Rusi125
Wish it was live, my daughter's got 'wipeout' blaring in the den. I'd much rather listen to what Jobs has to say tonight than anything on the tube.
If he reveals anything big at D8 that means there is even more to hear at WWDC. If he does not WWDC is going to be boring. Hope for news on Mac OS future. Will we see os 11 or we are heading to see macbooks run by windows in 3 years.
Dear Engadget,
Dang you, we weren't invited.
Signed Gizmodo
hmmm i wonder why that happened? I think i'll have a beer while i think it over
@DefPoet
After the TV-B-Gone episode, I'm surprised anybody invites them anywhere.
http://gizmodo.com/343348/confessions-the-meanest-thing-gizmodo-did-at-ces
I wonder if some in the crowd would chant, Flash! Flash!?
@Craiger
And then off goes the turtleneck.
@Phoenix
Well I did think it would be inappropriate for a CEO of a major company to expose himself in front of the Press...
@Craiger
the chant wouldn't last long, 6 faceless turtleneck-clad apple goons would take the protester outside and dispose of him/her.
Every time I see "D8" all I can see is a horrified smiley face.
Damnit internet, what have you done to me? D8
Who's going to interview Jobs? If it's Kara Swisher you can expect softball questions disguised as tough, hard-hitting inquiries. The same apples to Walt Mossberg. Let Topolsky do the interview for crying out loud.
@Scape3d.
I'd. Pay to see that
Dear AOL if you are looking for a page view grabber as big as the iphone4g here is ur chance
I don't think any new products will be announced tonight. It will be more like a "state of the union", where electronics are headed.
@landlocked
It's just Wall Street reporters chatting with various CEOs.
Nothing critical is going to be announced. Especially not by Jobs.
It would be nice a sort of " ultimate alliance " for an ultimate smartphone. it would take the best from everyone and put it in one phone.
I wish Engadget would post times in GMT as well. There are people in the UK who like to keep up to date.
Um... where/when can I find the Ballmer interview?
all i see is steve steve steve,on d8 tag search. where are others? or it was just steve jobs on D8?
