Apple March 2nd iPad Event Live Coverage Links.

Apple is holding a special event at Yerba Buena Center For The Arts on Wednesday on March 2nd, 2011. Apple is hinting that the event is iPad related. As usual, numbers of sites, journalists and bloggers will be providing live coverage from the event.

Links will be added as they are made available. Links are alphabetically ordered.

The “maybe providing coverage” list:

Meta-coverage by TWiT.tv.

I wonder if John Gruber would spend his Daring Fireball money to fly out to San Francisco for this event?

It would be another big surprise if Apple is streaming the event live on Apple.com.

Live coverage will definitely stars shortly on March 2nd, 2010 before:

  • 08:00 AM – Hawaii
  • 10:00 AM – Pacific
  • 11:00 AM – Mountain
  • 12:00 PM – Central
  • 01:00 PM – Eastern
  • 06:00 PM – London
  • 07:00 PM – Paris
  • 03:00 AM – Tokyo (March 3rd)
  • 05:00 AM – Sydney (March 3rd)

NOTES:
What do Leo Laporte, Ryan Block and Gizmodo have in common? They are not invited to this event.

It also stands for: Non-Disclosure Agreement

Let’s talk about Mac OS X Lion. Sites like AppleInsider and 9 to 5 Mac have been posting tons of stuff about Mac OS X Lion that were supposed to be covered under NDA. Here are a little samples of what they have revealed:

Well, if you really want to read more about Mac OS X Lion and you’re a registered Mac Developer, head to https://devforums.apple.com/community/mac/lion. There are a lot of discussions of new features, missing features and known bugs.

Scam Alert: Fake OpenOffice.org download.

I was going through the server log parsing out spammy referrer links and one of the sites triggered a pop-up:

First off, the official OpenOffice.org site is in its name: OpenOffice.org.

This galleries.secure-softwaremanager.com must be spreading malwares. It actually checks the Operating System. Since I was using Camino Browser on Mac OS X, it returned an error message:

I am adding this url to the site blacklist.

By the way, if you are looking into downloading OpenOffice.org, you might want to check LibreOffice. It is a project forked from OpenOffice.org development.
