Reminder: Talkcast tonight at 10 PM EDT

Well, it's Sunday, and as always TUAW will be starting the week off with our weekly live talkcast, thanks to the cool guys at TalkShoe. Michael Rose is on the road, but may still have a chance to call in and chat. I'll be taking over hosting duties for the night; we'll be taking calls and discussing the big Apple news (and Apple rumors) of the week. We'll also be giving away some schwag and software in what may possibly be our first "Movie Based Mac Trivia Challenge."

Once again, you can join the conversation on TalkShoe by using the shiny new 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 Sunday. 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.

Next talkcast: Open phones and giveaways

This Sunday night at 10 PM EST, Michael Rose, our consumate Talkcast host, will once agin be out of town, so I'll be taking his place. Hopefully, we won't run into any of the technical difficulties we ran into last week.

We'll be taking open calls and discussing the top stories of the week, attempting to answer any of your questions, talking about Apple rumors...oh yeah, and we'll be giving away schwag (including some software) for correct trivia answers.

To join the conversation and try your hand at winning, just log onto TalkShoe, either with or without an account, by using the shiny new browser-only client (no downloading required and no registration needed).

TUAW Talkcast tonight: Mac and iPhone gaming

Yes, the world famous TUAW Talkcast is back on the virtual air this evening kicking off at 10pm EST over on the Talkshoe site. Mike Rose is out of the hosting chair this week, but worry not -- I, Mike Schramm will be sitting in said chair running hosting duties as well as I can. And since I'm in charge this week, we'll of course be talking about server virtualization and security options for large scale enterprises. No, I'm kidding -- we'll be talking about games, and gaming on the Mac and iPhone.

Brian Akaka of Mac gaming giants and all-around good guys Freeverse will be on the show to chat not only about gaming on the Mac (and why it's not as big as it could be), but also what it's like to design games for the iPhone, and what kinds of things we might see coming out of Freeverse and other developer come June and the App Store. Dave Caolo and some other friendly voices from TUAW should be on as well. And of course we'll have the cast of thousands hundreds whoever joins us on the conference call, and they're very nice folks, too.

Be there at 10pm EST this evening for a talkcast to remember. Pertinent technical and sign-in info after the break. We'll see you there!

Reminder: Talkcast #18, tonight 10pm ET

Join us again tonight at 10 ET for the next installment of our TUAW Talkcast. Tonight I'll be temporarily taking over hosting duties for Mike Rose who is on assignment (looking around everywhere for the TUAW home office).

So join Christina W , Dave C, Mike S and myself at 10pm Eastern time for a gabfest on all things Apple related. You can find us over at Talkshoe. Or join the show in listen-only mode from any phone by calling (724) 444-7444 at 10 pm ET, entering the show ID (45077) and then pressing 1#.

TUAW Talkcast #12: Countdown to X-tasy 10.5

If you were one of the "lucky" folks listening live to the talkcast on Sunday night 10/21... well, what can I say, I feel your pain. Despite the audio bridge issues on the Talkshoe side, we did get a nice clean take on Skype and spent a solid hour counting down to 10.5, covering favorite expectations for Leopard and quickly diving into the big iPhone development news with Mike Schramm, Mat Lu, and special guest Kai Cherry. You can download the show directly, pick it up in our RSS or iTunes feeds, or stream it direct from Talkshoe.

Don't forget that our next live show -- lucky #13 -- will be Sunday night 10/28 at a special 10pm ET start time, with a free-for-all call-in as we all enjoy the first 48 hours of Leopard. Mark your calendar and set an alarm; it's gonna be a barn-burner.

TUAW Talkcast: Join us live tonight, Sunday 10/21 9p ET

We're inside the five-day mark for Leopard's launch, and nobody is more excited than the team here at TUAW. Please join us live tonight for a free-range discussion of upgrade strategy, most-anticipated features, and more (including the iPhone SDK announcement aftermath) with Mat Lu, Mike Schramm and me as we fire off TUAW Talkcast #11, live and in color at 9 pm ET. Be sure to hang around after the show for our post-recording open phones session and the now-infamous 80s music trivia quiz.

To participate in the call and the always-illuminating text chat, scootch over to Talkshoe ahead of time, sign up/download the client and get to a phone or VoIP client for the show. To listen in without the full client, either stream the show from the Talkshoe page, or you can join the show in listen-only mode from any phone by calling (724) 444-7444 at 9 pm ET, entering the show ID (45077) and then pressing #-1. Hope to hear you there!

Thinksecret throws their guess in the Leopard hat: October 26th

If you listened live to our TUAW talkcast last night (and you should have, because we were on fire, if I may say so myself), you heard us doing the same thing all Apple fans are doing this week: speculating on the (hopefully impending) release date of Leopard. Most of us still hold out hope for October (and we did realize that coming out around Halloween would make for some excellent Apple-related Halloween costumes), but personally, I'm still betting on October 26th. As we said last night, not only would that make for a weekend full of Leopard-y goodness, but the full moon is on the 25th, so the stars will be aligned just right for Time Machine.

And Thinksecret agrees with me (that's awfully nice of them). Their sources (although I can tell you that I wasn't asked) say that Leopard is still on track for an October 26th release. I said last night that I expected Apple to actually announce a release date this coming week, but apparently it's still too early for that-- a new (and final) Leopard build is expected this week, and once that gets final approval, Thinksecret says October 26th is the day.

However, time is definitely running out. Let's not forget that Apple announced Tiger a full 17 days before release, and that deadline passed last week. If they're not done debugging Leopard, there's a good chance we won't see it in October at all anyway. Not even the witches and goblins of Halloween will make Jobs do something he doesn't want to do.

Thanks, Dewey K!

TUAW Talkcast #9 & live show tonight at 9 pm ET

Last Sunday, Mat Lu and Scott McNulty did a bang-up job on the TUAW Talkcast, covering the Amazon MP3 store launch and taking your calls. You can hear the show from our RSS & iTunes feeds, via direct download here, or via download and streaming over at Talkshoe.

Meanwhile, you can join me, Mat & Dave Caolo plus special guests live tonight, 10/7 at 9 pm ET for more of the week's news, your Mac and iPhone questions, and maybe even some music trivia. Remember, you can dial into Talkshoe now without having a PIN (just follow the instructions at the site), but you need to sign up & download the client app if you want to join in our text chat or ask questions. Hear you soon!
