Writer
Kelly is a longtime Apple geek, sitting down (on a telephone book) in front of an Apple IIe in 1983. She can still hear the ticking of the ImageWriter in the back of her head. While lining Jobs & Wozniak’s pockets buying up every conceivable piece of Apple-branded paraphernalia, Kelly became a passionate Macintosh support and IT professional.
After a hard day of saving the world and collecting non-winning aluminum foil yogurt lids, Kelly appears on various podcasts and shoots her mouth off in 140 characters or less. She is one of the regular hosts of the TUAW Talkcast, appearing live from her House of Crackpot theories. If you are lucky, you can catch the TUAWTF Aftershow where callers discuss a wide variety of topics including, but not limited to, what they are wearing, who they are wearing it with and why Hunt the Wumpus was never ported to the Apple II systems.

Talkcast tonight: Profits, taxes and WWDC at 10 pm ET / 7 pm PT
Another quarter, another blowout. While analysts and pundits imagined that domestic iPhone sales would signal an end to the gravy train, international demand pushed the handset past the 35 million mark and shot AAPL back above the $600 line. Even with the iPad refresh hitting at the end of the ...

Will TUAW skip its Talkcast tonight?
We meet again, Sunday. At least this one has been mildly entertaining in some respects (for example, the trimumphant return of the Apple Store Playset to ThinkGeek's front page and TUAW's honoring of Betteridge's Law for the day). While fun, it is not a joke that we'll be firing up the Talkcast ...
Talkcast tonight, 7pm PT/10pm ET: Security Edition!
It's Sunday, and like a lot of Sundays, we'll be Talkcasting it up starting at 7PM Pacific time, 10pm Eastern. We'll discuss security instead of turning up our noses at the need.

Grove announces new iPad cases
Grove, a company from Portland, Oregon, has announced brand new iPad cases to go with the new iPad. Grove is able to start selling them immediately because it doesn't have to send off modified case specs to a factory in China. Grove's designers just go downstairs and prototype a new one. Every ...
Apple updates T & C, includes terms for demo licensing
Today, along with the update of iTunes, there was a really interesting update to the Terms and Conditions. You can check out the entire set of terms if you like, but here's the good bit: Certain paid In App Subscriptions may offer a free trial period prior to charging your Account. If you decide ...
App Store download cap bumped up to 50MB for OTA downloads
TheNextWeb has confirmed there is a solution to a problem a lot of developers could encounter: If the iPad were to go to a retina display (which it did), application file sizes would increase dramatically. That 20 MB limit on what you can download from the store over-the-air becomes meaningless ...
