Apple to Stream Macworld Keynote in MPEG4

If you plan to watch Apple's broadcast of the Macworld Expo opening keynote tomorrow, grab yourself a copy of QuickTime 6.0 before Apple's server-load increases.

Apple's release of QuickTime 6.0 two days prior to MacWorld expo was literally a "slip-up," sources said. "It all happened suddenly," says one source, "while Worldwide Sales and Operations front man, Timothy Cook, was heading back to his office from a visit to the john." While apparently flailing his arms and bickering loudly about the back-splatter effect caused by the company's new industrial sized urinal cakes, "he failed to notice the remains of a honey-glazed donut resting on the floor of walkway just adjacent to the water fountain." Cook "stepped right in it," sources said, and it sent him hurtling towards the webmaster cubicles, through the paneling and into webmaster Sol Rosenburg, who then accidentally hit the "Return" key and published the software to Apple's website.

Of course not...

According to extremely reliable sources, Apple will stream the Macworld keynote in MPEG4 format tomorrow, and hence the early release of the MPEG4 enhanced QuickTime 6 software. This will be Steve Jobs' opportunity to boast about the company's new streaming media software without saying anything at all, but we all know he will anyway.

QuickTime 5 and prior users be cautioned, rumor has it that Apple has no plans to offer a non-MPEG4 stream. Grab your copy of QuickTime 6.0 now.
