Are you going to watch the 2012 Olympics opening ceremonies?

Jul 27, 2012 4:29 AM

Approximately 1 billion people will be tuning in to the London 2012 Opening Ceremony. If you plan to join them, here's how:

The ceremony will take place Friday, July 27, at 9 p.m. London time (or 4 p.m. ET) and will be broadcast live on BBC.

In the U.S., the event will be played on tape delay, so it will be broadcast on Friday, July 27, at:
Eastern Time: 7:30 p.m. - 12 a.m. on NBC
Pacific Time: 7:30 p.m. - 12 a.m. on NBC
Central Time: 6:30 p.m. - 11 p.m. on NBC

No. I'm a big Olympics fan but I'm finishing up a show and won't get home in time. I need to figure out if they're rebroadcasting them at 0 dark thirty. Got to watch the USA vs. France women's soccer game yesterday which definitely put me in a watch the Olympics mood.

I will be watching parts of it but not the whole thing. I LOVE the Olympics and will be glued to my tv/iPhone/iPad during practically every event.

No, I am pissed at the controls by the LOC limiting open access to the press. It is no longer about sports, it is about sponsons.

Fugg'em!

Wouldn't miss them. I am excited to introduce the Olympics to my 3-year-old daughter. Hope they release some birds or include some Elmo.... :)

You can watch it live online here if you're in the US.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
