Apple uses HTTP live streaming. Notice the lack of Chrome on the HTTP live streaming page. It's not "the old messed up IE days" because the Chrome devs have decided not to implement HTTP live streaming. It's not a standard exactly but it is documented and possible to implement, as the VLC team has done.
yea.... they have some sort of OS detection on web, it is validating the visits.. only apple users were able to see it... you can got to ustream there was a live coverage too.
