IIRC, those shots of the control room during launch didn't happen previously, due to ITAR restrictions.

Very nice quality Ustream feed, Hopefully they'll show a launch replay.

Three minutes to staging. Only a 100 people on that ustream, so that was a very good find that not many people are aware of.
The 100 came from this site.
It was 15 when I joined clicking on the link above!

While we wait, we'd still be waiting for confirmation of launch if we were waiting on just the webcams, they still haven't updated.

Helicopters are overhead of the launch site, checking for damage, etc.  It'll be a few hours before any personnel are back on the launch pad.

the guy who found it said the stream was off air until T+2min, so i doubt they have liftoff (also you need to start recording when you start broadcasting, if they didnt click record its too late now)
