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: Post-Expo hangover edition, 10pm ET/7pm PT
We came, we saw, we sang a little karaoke and met an adorable monkey. Macworld/iWorld 2013 is in the books, and this is the first chance we've had to breathe a little and take stock. Of course, the best way to do that is to counterprogram the blackout-delayed Super Bowl and host our regular ...
Retail VP Jerry McDougal leaves Cupertino

DND bug: Apple will only disturb you until the 7th
A rapid but odd response came today in the form of a support doc from Apple about the Do Not Disturb bug in iOS 6 that cropped up on New Year's Day (or Hogmanay, if you're Scottish). Apple published a KB article which is pretty brief on information. It says after January 1, 2013, DND mode stays ...

Apple retail exec John Browett's departure not surprising
When the first wave of news was breaking about Apple and its executive shuffle, the initial focus was on Scott Forstall leaving even though that's not actually happening until 2013.
