Apple streaming today's Special Event via Apple TV

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

If you have an Apple TV and are free today at 10:00 a.m. Pacific or 1:00 p.m Eastern, you can watch the live stream of Apple's Special Event in San Jose, California where the iPad mini is expected to be released. Apple rarely streams their events live, but they often offer links to videos of the event soon after it has concluded. It is a rare treat to see these events live as they happen since most people need to rely on various liveblogs to get the exciting news.

Apple has updated their page and now says you can also watch the big show via Safari.

Watch a live video stream of the special event online or via Apple TV starting at 10:00 a.m. PDT.

Live streaming video requires Safari 4 or later on Mac OS X v10.6 or later; Safari on iOS 4.2 or later. Streaming via Apple TV requires second- or third-generation Apple TV with software 5.0.2 or later.

Oh, joy!
