Tell us what to Ask Leo Laporte
TUAW will be covering Macworld this year like no other year. We'll be posting pictures of booths, reporting the news, live blogging the Keynote, and sharing our general observations. In addition to all that we will also be posting a number of videos from the show floor including interviews. Leo Laporte, head TWiT and prolific netcaster, has agreed to be one of our interviewees.So, gentle readers, we thought we would turn to you and see what you would like us to ask Leo. Sound off in the comments, and I'll be sure to ask Leo a few of the reader submitted questions.

When are you going to give up on the term "Netcast"?

I'd really want to know how he manages to organize his life doing so many podcasts per week....
Also, It would be interesting to know if he's making any money from his shows...

Why are Mac users seldom as stylish as the sleek Macs they use?

What is Leo's main platform for general work? If he uses Windows, will he consider swtiching to Mac in 2007?

Does he think 2007 will be (yet another) the year of Linux?

Why doesn't the RIAA & MPAA come after tech celebs that infer that they are bit-torrenting downloading music & Movies? Why don't they make examples of them?

Ask Leo if he thinks iTunes will offer HD content, what he thinks of iTunes + iPod + iTV.

Longtime PC user,25+ years, 10+ years of *nix administration, but just purchased my first iMac within the last 6months. It has been a bit of a challenge but overall everything I could have hoped for and more.
Parents still strugle to us a PC after having one in their home for several years. Should I continue to help them slog through the PC world, or get them to switch to a Mac. Can I teach Old Dogs new OS tricks when they have a hard time with the basics in their current world?
thx

ask him to unplug his ethernet cable and emigrate to the Gambia, I've had enough of his ego-fuelled bullsh*t.

Have you ever thought of starting a Screen Savers like podcast, like the show but without techtv? I used to watch it, and if you could, im sure you would get many viewers. Also a call for help podcast, that was a great show.

What would you like to see changed in the iTunes Store's Podcast section?
How do you explain to a person with minimum to average computer knowledge, in one or two sentences, what a podcast is?

I'd like to know what Leo thinks about digital distribution and whether we will see another major disk format to replace HD-DVD/Blu-Ray. How does he see the future of possible HD downloads on iTunes Store affecting sales of hard formats. Does he embrace it or would he prefer the hard copy? Whats his perfect price point?

Why, at the beginning of 2000, when techtv was still alive did you diss the mac and go on and on about windows me and now in 2006-07 you are embracing it?

Dear Leo, what happened to the rest of your body? Did it hurt?
Alex (#13), I hope you're joking, but if you're not take a look at http://www.twit.tv

Now that Apple is using Intel cpu's and are selling games for the iPod, do you think Apple may dabble in the video game console market again?

Tell us what you REALLY think of the Zune! (I kid, I kid)
Seriously though: do you see Apple remaining primarily a computer company in the years to come? Are they now?

Please ask Leo when his old media radio show is going to be syndicated on old media terrestrial radio? Will it be Clear Channel stations only? Will he still be permitted to podcast it commercial free?
