As far as I could tell it was unedited, including the really off-topic and off-color and off-his-rocker performance by Randy Newman at the end. I still think Apple would do better to webcast it live. Via Flash. After they <a href="http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2008/pulpit_20080111_003899.html" rel="nofollow">buy Adobe</a>. At least they were kind enough to post the keynote intact.

Thanks for the link above. Very nice of you. As far as Apple's concerned livecasting the keynote... Nope. Not going to happen. Too much anticipation and buzz in doing it the way they are. Same with their own events. They undoubtedly CAN. They choose not to. So, enterprising folks like iJustine and Daniel Brusilovsky pirate via Qik (or other) and help us through. And, thank goodness, there are a stable of liveblogging options these days for these events. At least two were alive for the duration with similar and complimentary points of view and perspective. Always a fun couple hours. Hey! Thanks for the link above. Very nice of you. As far as Apple’s concerned livecasting the keynote… Nope. Not going to happen.
