As per tradition, tonight you can chat with TUAW bloggers and hopefully some of the usual Mac suspects at 4pm Hawaiian/7pm Pacific/10pm Eastern time. Those usual suspects will include me, your host for the evening. We'll have some iMac things (or lack of things) on the agenda, the impending free case bonanza, and you'll have things you'll want to talk about. I. Will. Too.

Remember: West Coast Host means you also get an opportunity to join in on the infamous (unrecorded) Aftershow. Prepare to answer the ultimate question, "Caller -- what are you wearing?"

Your calls and questions help us make the show the best it can be, otherwise I'm just talking to myself! To participate on TalkShoe, you can use the browser-only client, the embedded Facebook app, or the classic TalkShoe Pro Java client; however, for maximum fun, you should call in.

To call in on regular phone or VoIP lines (yay for free cellphone weekend minutes!): dial (724) 444-7444 and enter our talkcast ID, 45077 -- during the call, you can request to talk by keying in *8.

It's the second day after the Apple press event, and there's still a lot of buzz in the air about the press conference and its outcome. While we'll probably skip on singing The iPhone 4 Antenna Song for you tonight, we'll have plenty to talk about on tonight's episode of the TUAW Talkcast.

As usual, you can join in on the fun! We'll be live at 10 pm ET, taking your calls and questions as best we can.

That's right kids, today's date is 7-11, and you know what that means. So cool off with a shovel ended straw and come chat with me this evening at 4pm Hawaiian/7pm Pacific/10pm Eastern time. We'll talk about Apple Store openings, Mac sales figures, and as usual, a theory or two from my very own House* which is usually good for a chuckle or two. Keep in mind, a West Coast Host can mean only one thing: Aftershow! (Please note, Aftershow may or may not include tales of Trek In The Park.)

Many TUAW readers may not be either setting off fireworks or watching someone else blow up colorful pyrotechnics, so we've decided to host a special holiday edition of the TUAW Talkcast tonight. The fun will begin at 10 PM ET, and we're sure there will be some verbal fireworks tonight as the debate rages on about whether the iPhone 4 is the greatest smartphone ever or a piece of garbage.

As per tradition, we'll be digitally gathering this evening for the Talkcast. Hosting tonight will be handled by me, unofficial Mistress of the unofficial Aftershow. This week's topics include the iPhone 4 preorder snafu-age, the 10.6.4 system update, the impending iOS 4 release, and iPad/Mac security. We'll get things underway at 4pm Hawaiian time, which is 7pm Pacific and 10pm Eastern.

Of course, we'll also talk about whatever your heart desires too. None of this works without you. Yes, you! Without our regular readers and listeners, it's just TUAW bloggers talking to themselves. What Mac and iPhone-related topics are on your mind?

Come by, won't you? We'll have coffee, we'll talk, no big whoop.

If you were one of the crowd who listened to the TUAW Talkcast this past Sunday evening, you'll remember that we promised to do a post-WWDC 2010 keynote Talkcast. It was supposed to happen Monday night, but we had all collapsed after the stress of churning out streams of news for our readers all day.

Now that we're tanned, rested, and ready, we'll be hosting a special edition of the Talkcast tonight at 10 PM EDT. Topics will include Safari 5 (which I'm using to post this), iOS 4, iPhone 4, and anything else that we happen to think about.

When we're not being taken in by fake iPhone advertisements, we're preparing for our coverage of WWDC 2010. Tonight we'll be hosting our usual Sunday night TUAW Talkcast, starting at 10 PM EDT. If you've never joined the Talkcast, it's a wild hour (sometimes more, if we decide to have an after show) of fun talk, interesting news, and crackpot theories.

This was the week that Google started to get nasty. Throughout the Google I/O 2010 developer conference, Apple was the target of a number of cheap shots as well as some comments that were right on target. Starting tonight at 10 PM EDT, the TUAW crew invites anyone who isn't watching the Lost series finale to join the TUAW Talkcast to chat about Google, Apple, and anything else that happened during the week.

You have to hand it to Gawker writer Ryan Tate; he wasn't timid about giving his new penpal a piece of his mind, salty language and all. Tate let loose with a full-throated defense of iPad pornography, overworked print publishers and the freedom to write once and run anywhere. Of course, in this particular case he was sending aggrieved notes to Steve Jobs -- and, most surprising, Steve chose to write back. Repeatedly. In the wee hours of the night.

Steve's defense of Apple's approach toward Flash on iPhone/iPad and the choices Apple is making about the future of its platforms makes for good reading; Tate's decision to run the emails in a post is one I can only describe as "chutzpadik," although he notes that Steve must be aware that many of his casual one-liners are making news in short order.

[Side note, if Apple hasn't productized Steve's killer spam filter yet, they darn well should get started on that. Unless it's a rotating panel of interns -- that would be difficult to scale.]

All that to say, we're fortunate to have our special time together later tonight on the Talkcast to chat about Stevemails, MacBook rumors, MobileMe betas, Steam releases and more! Join us, won't you?

Sunday night is the night that all of your favorite TUAW bloggers and commenters get together for the fun-filled hour called the TUAW Talkcast.

With less than one week to go before the big day, we'll be focusing tonight's show on the anticipation, app announcements and all things iPad. Come on by for a free-wheeling conversation about the Next Big Thing, and some tips for finding a first-day iPad (even if you haven't gotten your order in yet).

We'll also be doing one of our periodic Apple trivia nights, with delightful prizes. Tonight, it's free copies of the iPhone app that lets you know what's going on around you: Happening, from our friend and colleague Nik Fletcher.

Our trademark talkcast goes on the air once again this evening at 10pm Eastern, and it's going to be a heck of a show. We're right in the middle of the runup to the iPad, so we'll be talking about Apple's rumored scramble for content deals, those test units hidden in the wild, and the doors opening up for app submissions on the App Store. And "iPad" isn't the only word on the street -- Apple has chosen to ban protective screens for some reason, 10.6.3 could be sneaking out this week, and we've even got new hardware rumors (but then again, don't we always?).

It's sure to be a good time full of discussion about the biggest Apple stories of the past week. Join us, won't you?

It's the biggest night in show business, but just in case you're not caught up in the Hollywood horse race (go Hurt Locker!) you're welcome to join Mike Schramm and I for our Sunday night Talkcast, as we dive into all things Mac, iPhone and iPad.

This week, of course, the big news was the announcement of the on-sale date for Apple's newest platform and the teaser of Steam for Mac, but there's also a lot coming up at the Game Developer's Conference over the next few days; we'll preview it with you. As always, your calls and questions help us make the show the best it can be.

We'll get Shawn's perspective on Macworld expo, the upcoming iPad launch, and the rest of the Mac and iPhone market -- plus, as always, we'll take your calls and questions. Join in, won't you?
