The live link is no longer relevant to that session, that session has now been archived under this video.
SpaceX section starts at 45 minutes.

That pic makes me wonder what the arrangement will look like for the FH.

Can anyone add a comparison picture for the F9 v1.1 with the F9 v1.0 and the original "white pencil rocket" - the Zenit series (Zenit-2 plus the Sea Launch Zenit-3SL)? Thanks!

Nice find... Here the images are attached:
It really doesn't look as disproportionate (tall & thin) that some thought it would. (IMO)

That 1st stage LOX tank appears to be full.
Could they be planning for a WDR if no hot fire today?

Someone mentioned in on of the mission threads that the hot fire was aborted due to a pad LOX leak. So this could explain the partially full LOX tank - or it was taken during loading or off-loading of propellants.

Alright...
Here is the main event in the "odd proportioned rocket" fight: Compare and discuss!
(images roughly to scale, as the SRB diameter is very close to the F9 core diameter)

Yes, look again. I forgot to attach it initially.

Our first good look at the hold-downs and 1st stage umbilicals. The hold-downs look similar to F9 1.0, but the umbilicals (arrow) no longer share a location and swing arm, they have their own. If the erector is at 12 o'clock, then the hold-downs are at 12, 3, 6, and 9; and the umbilcals are at ~1(presumed, not seen) and ~7.
This photo:

Yep, and this slide image of a F9v1.1 prepped for transport shows the umbilical port as well:
