-- Aleesha (@mochalife) September 9, 2014 Google & Microsoft must be rolling with laughter at this #FAIL Apple live event. Biggest iPhone announcement in years & it's 1998 video? LOL
-- Not Agent Smith (@notagentsmith) September 9, 2014 The "livestream" from @AppleTV today is @Apple's worst piece of crap since Newton. #fail
-- GreatStoneFace (@GreatStoneFace) September 9, 2014 The live stream is a total fail and embarrassment for Apple. Heads will roll.
