Macworld Keynote Available Via Quicktime 9 hours after it happens

Apple has

announced that it will be streaming the keynote after all, the only caveat is that the stream won't be available until 6pm PST, several hours after his Steveness dazzles keynote attendees with his patented 'Reality Distortion Field.'

No reason for this delay was noted, however, I think it is merely a cost saving measure, allowing that money to be better spent in other ways including advertising.

While it is true that the keynotes include some measure of 'preaching to the choir' I think Apple is missing the boat by not streaming it live, and offering a satellite feed.  The stream allows Apple to show off the power of
Quicktime Streaming Server as well as feed the frenzied updates of various websites as Steve unveils things.  It also gives all those Apple Retail locations prime material for their theaters.

Having said all that, I know what I will be doing at 6pm PST, after I hide my credit cards that is.
