Last week, we were joined by NPD & Engadget's own Ross Rubin for a fun-filled hour of tablet speculation, iPhone VoIP consideration and Talkshoe & Skype frustration. You can download the show, along with all past shows, from Talkshoe or subscribe in iTunes.

We'll be back live tonight with one of our every-so-often Mac Help hours; call in with your Mac OS X questions, concerns and headscratchers and we'll do our best to advise you, live and in real time (yes, this can go off the rails very easily -- that's part of the spectacle).

TUAW Talkcast live tonight at 10pm Eastern


Our weekly talkcast returns to the virtual airwaves this evening over on Talkshoe, so if you're around on a Sunday night, and want to tune in and talk Apple with a crew of TUAW bloggers and readers, you're in luck. We'll start up at around 10pm Eastern this evening, and we'll be talking about the biggest stories in the province of Applevania, including the "new" features of Gmail push and MMS on the iPhone (and how neither one really works as it probably should), as well as the ongoing rumors of new iMacs and the tough topic of how to actually install apps on Mac OS X.

Should be a lot of fun -- definitely tune in if you can make it.

Talkcast reminder: 10pm ET Sunday, the Snow Leopard aftermath

Last week, we spent almost the entire hour shaking our heads and making "tsk, tsk" noises over the FCC responses to the Google Voice imbroglio. You can download the show, along with all past shows, from Talkshoe or subscribe in iTunes.

We'll be back live tonight with a hearty helping of Snow Leopard goodness, including hands-on upgrade reports, favorite features so far, gotchas that have been discovered and of course, your calls and questions. Saddle up!

TUAW Talkcast tonight at 10pm Eastern on Talkshoe


The TUAW Talkcast returns to the airwaves tonight for a brand new era: show number 101 will have us chatting about the biggest Apple stories of the past week, including some international iPhone shenanigans, those extremely persistent netbook/tablet rumors (and why we are so enamored with the idea), and the best ways to hear about the best apps on the App Store. Plus, iTunes 8.2.1 is out, and the recent proliferation of augmented reality subway apps will get a look as well. I'll be hosting, and Mel Martin, Steven Sande and Josh Brickner will likely be joining us, and we might even have a special guest on -- join us at 10pm Eastern this evening over on Talkshoe to listen, chat, and join the call live.

Talkcast tonight: 10pm post-WWDC wrap-up


Last week the TUAW Talkcast was jam-packed with pre-WWDC excitement! Michael Rose, newcomer Michael Jones, and myself talked rumors, expectations and took calls from the beautiful people in web-radioland. Our on-ground reporter Brett Terpstra joined us at the end of the show and it was a great time. Check it out in Talkshoe or subscribe in iTunes.

Tonight, we're live again going over the post-WWDC wrap-up, discussing the new iPhone 3G S, the new MacBook Pro line and updated MacBook Air, Snow Leopard, hatred of cell phone subsidies (it's not just AT&T), and the latest trend in App Store rejections. I'll be hosting, Mike R. will be joining us later in the call and we'll have some new members of the team to introduce to the Talkcast regulars. It's going to be a blast, so make you tune in!

Talkcast reminder: Mother's Day edition, 10pm ET

We're back live tonight, and in honor of Mother's Day in the US we'll be talking about Macs and Moms: doing tech support for your parents, encouraging switcher Moms (and Dads), providing advice for would-be Mother's Day iPhone purchasers, and more.

Talkcast reminder: Open phones/Ask TUAW, 10pm ET tonight


Last week's show got rolling a little late, but we did have the opportunity to introduce you all to our two newest team members and discuss the billion-app threshold. You can download the show from Talkshoe or subscribe in iTunes.

We're back live tonight, and since the big story of the week (Verizon's dance of the seven veils with iPhone) is more speculation than specification, we're throwing open the phone lines to all of you. Got Mac or iPhone questions? Something you have to get off your chest? Christina & I, plus some possible special guests, will try to tackle your issues for you. One topic we'd like to hear about, if there are iPhone devs who can make it for the show: the notable level of frustration with slow payment from iPhone app sales. Tell us your story.

Talkcast reminder: 10pm ET this evening with special guest Alykhan Jetha of Marketcircle

Our weekly interactive podcast goes live on the air tonight at 10pm Eastern time over on the Talkshoe page, so if you're around and ready to talk some Unofficial Apple Weblog news with us, please come by and join in. I'll be hosting this evening, and Dave Caolo will be along for the ride with us, as well as a slew of other familiar names and voices from TUAW and our community. And we'll be welcoming Alykhan "AJ" Jetha as our special guest for the evening -- he's the CEO of Marketcircle, makers of Daylite and Daylite Touch, business productivity management apps for the desktop and the iPhone. Our own Stephen Sande reviewed their products here on TUAW earlier this week.

Also tonight on the show, we'll talk about all of the new iPhone hardware rumors floating around, and try to separate the wheat from the chaff there. There's also rumors of an OS update that we'll try shaking down, and the iPhone 3.0 beta has hit a new milestone, so we'll look that over as well. iTunes prices are up, and sales are down, so we'll try to figure out why. And since this is the eve of the release of Tweetie for Mac, we'll talk about which clients we've used for Twitter on the desktop before and if Tweetie will be everything that everyone else is saying it is. Should be a lot of fun -- tune in promptly at 10 Eastern to give us a listen.

To participate on TalkShoe, you can use the browser-only interface, or you can stick with the classic TalkShoe Pro Java client; however, for maximum fun, you should call in so we can hear your dulcet tones.

Last week, my friends Steve Sande and Megan Lavey joined me for an erudite discussion over drinks about the White House's tech woes, the iWork trojan making its rounds, and our favorite Mac memories. Feel absolutely free to download the show from Talkshoe or subscribe in iTunes.

This week, hopefully, the Super Bowl will be done and dusted before 10 Eastern, so we can recap the news of the week and take your calls! We plan on covering more tips for keeping your data safe, and talking about the pros and cons of renewing your MobileMe subscription. Come prepared with your questions, comments and ideas, and we'll put them on the air!

Talkcast tonight, 10 pm ET: the Mac's 25th birthday show

Last week, the Mikes played a selection of your phone calls and best wishes for Steve Jobs. You can, of course, download the show from Talkshoe or subscribe in iTunes.

This week, Christina Warren, Steve Sande and I will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Mac platform, reminiscing about our first Mac experiences, and sharing our predictions for the next 25 years of Mac. We'll also discuss the news of the week, including Apple's first-quarter conference call, the White House's IT woes, and problems with bootleg copies of iWork '09. All this, and your input too!

Talkcast tonight, 10 pm: the get-well card show

Last week's talkcast was a star-studded affair, with special guests Ged Maheux of Iconfactory and Rob & Josh from Welcome to Macintosh; everyone had a great time recalling the fun and excitement of Macworld Expo. You can download the show from Talkshoe or subscribe in iTunes.

Tonight, the show is back at 10 pm ET on Talkshoe; however, considering the big Apple news of the week, we're going to take up most of the show by playing back your audio get-well cards for Steve Jobs -- we got over 60 messages of support for Steve and I hope to play many of them tonight. Of course, we'll also make time for your live comments, questions and suggestions. If the audio playback and Talkshoe don't play well together, we'll move the show to Ustream or find another way to include your contributions.

Talkcast live tonight at 10pm ET


Our fearless co-lead Dave Caolo will be aboard the USS Talkcast this evening with me, and we'll be talking turkey -- cooking them, chasing them down, plucking them, and how to get the most stuffing in there. Oh wait, wait? Thanksgiving is over? Oh well then I guess we'll just be talking Mac and iPhone news as usual.

On the menu: Black Friday and the deals we may or may not have been suckered into, new releases from Boxee (read the interview yet?) and uTorrent for the Mac, and since we've got to get our requisite iPhone talk in there, we'll hit on the Linux install, and the tough subject of App Store pricing. Join us, won't you?
Do so on TalkShoe by using the shiny browser-only client; or you can also use the classic TalkShoe Pro Java client that we all know and love.

Reminder, talkcast tonight at 10 pm ET

Two weeks ago, the talkcast featured me, Robert & Dave tackling caller questions in a freewheeling "Ask TUAW" hour of fun. We didn't answer them all but we certainly tried our best. Subscribe in iTunes, or use a different feed reader. (Note: We were informed that the 'itpc://'-style link to the show was causing a spontaneous iTunes launch for users on Vista with Firefox 3, so we're using a Phobos-style link now. If you've seen unexpected iTunesage when browsing pages with itpc links on them, let us know.)

After a week's break due to Talkshoe tech difficulties, we're back. Join us later tonight, Sunday October 5 at 10 pm ET for this week's show. Got dish, rumors or wishlists? Swing by and chime in.

You can join the conversation on TalkShoe by using the shiny browser-only client; you can also use the classic TalkShoe Pro Java client that we all know and love. For the web UI, just click the "TalkShoe Web" button on our profile page at 10 pm tonight. You can also listen in on the Talkshoe page or call in on regular phone or VOIP lines: dial (724) 444-7444 and enter our talkcast ID, 45077. For those calling in without Talkshoe IDs, you can "request to talk" by dialing *8.

Join us again tonight for host Mike Schramm and panelists Robert P. and yours truly as we cover the week's top stories -- and we might even find time for some trivia and giveaways! We'll also be talking back-to-school with our picks for hardware and software for students.
