Apples Keynote Speech - Some Issues

I started watching Apples Keynotes speech and there seemed to be an issue with the sound and a women talking in the background in another language, I thought I would come back to it later when someone at Apple had sorted it out. When I later tried to access the Keynote speech from my iPad it closed Safari!!! I kept trying but could not get it to work, I imagine it was due to the amount of people trying to view the web site.

So I have not watched much of it and have only heard about what was said from blogs and tweets. The Apple watch looks better than I had expected, but still a bit chunky. The iPhone 6 is a bit disappointing with the camera sticking out, which I can imagine will scratch coffee tables. Will have to see it in the flesh before giving proper judgement.

Useless Windows Error Message

The other day I was working and tried to look up some help from an application and received the following error message below.

It looks like the latest version of Windows does not contain the ability to open the help file, but instead of giving a useful information to how the problem can be resolved (link did not help) it asks the question 'Was this helpful?'.

Once again this made me think what is going on at Microsoft that allows their software to pass the QA testing with messages like the one above.
