I can't watch this because:
1) It'd be illegal.
and
2) Anything which says "let's rock" usually doesn't. I mean, have Manowar taken to the stage yet? No. See, told ya.

Good news, they didn't denigrate the term by having Jack Johnson close out the presentation.
No siree

Jack is thanking us and being quite modest. "I'm used to 20-something girls right here, I'm doing my best."
Having three separate threads on this is a bit hard to keep up with.

I don't feel I'm missing anything though, since Manowar weren't anywhere near the event.

Yup. All "live or nearly live" video transmissions worldwide received via any means on any equipment.

Ooo how totalitarian and draconian! The UK television licensing people should work for the MPAA!

I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

Wow. I knew the TV licensing was pretty bad ... I didn't realize it extended beyond the Television.

It's not a video feed, just text and pictures.

Do those new in-ear headphones also have the clicker to hang up calls on an iPhone?
"Compatibility Information
The remote and mic are supported only by iPod nano (4th generation), iPod classic (120GB), and iPod touch (2nd generation). Audio is supported by all iPod models."

I don't like the Genius sidebar, as I'd rather not be shown 20 songs that I should buy every time I click on one of my own songs. The Genius playlist generator is kind of nice, as it sorts together related genres. Other than that, nothing to see.
