Was anybody able to watch the 'Phone event from Apple's site?

Watched it on Apple's site. It worked but there were a lot of stutters. The one thing I didn't get was the fact that the stream had a pause button. If you rolled over the video you got a pause button. You press it and it paused. When I pressed it again, it resumed. Not where I left it, but where it was live. I get it. It's live. But still, why even have a pause button?
