Apple Live Stream
The best way to do an Apple event like this is to watch Twitter during it. Naturally, the #AppleLive hashtag was trending with hundreds of tweets, some of them really funny. It's like having a comedy act in one ear while Apple CEO Tim Cook talks in the other.
Here are some of the best tweets that made us chuckle or nod:
On the new MacBook, which comes in a Gold version:
99% sure that the new Mackbook is black and blue #TheDress #AppleLive

On Tim Cook's prolific use of superlatives to describe all the new Apple products:
A drinking game with the words 'most' vs. 'ever' during #AppleLive would kill an adult rhinoceros, let alone a human.

The Apple Watch is accurate within 50 milliseconds of the UTC, says Cook. Next year's innovation? Accurate within 25 milliseconds.
