I was able to video keynotes and any sessions at LinuxWorld which are posted on my site and have been Video Podcast from the iTunes listing. It wasn't about scooping the keynote which I don't care about since Apple posts an excellent copy this afternoon. He barely looked at the site. It was a predisposition to deny ANY Video Podcasters - seemed like. Didn't matter there is also a site with a lot of complementary reporting and analysis. Not famous or big enough for them to care is my guess. So much for citizen journalism 2006 when it comes to some tech. But I can work around this limit since I have to. It's the principle that bugs me. The same guy was happy to have me for LinuxWorld Expo. But not in the church of Apple.
But on a return visit pleading my August award as among the best in the world as reason to grant me an exception - not to mention my history of always being press registered for the past 21 years (this is the 22nd annual MacWorld SF since 1985), he said to come back after the keynote and he'll see what he can do. But he said I still wouldn't be able to use the press room to post stories. So I'll be "watching" (text reports at http://www.macrumorslive.com/ web/ ) the keynote from my hotel room on this PowerBook, then walk over and try to get at least a pass to take my gear into the expo like I always have. Otherwise I will have to be confined to the User Group Lounge where many luminaries present. Or use my small MPEG4 capable digital still camera in the expo.
