Talkcast reminder: Oscar night show 10pm ET

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.

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. For the web UI, just click the "TalkShoe Web" button on our profile page at 10 pm Sunday. To call in on regular phone or VoIP lines (take advantage of your free cellphone weekend minutes if you like): dial (724) 444-7444 and enter our talkcast ID, 45077 -- during the call, you can request to talk by keying in *8.

If you've got a headset or microphone handy on your Mac, you can connect via the free Gizmo or X-Lite SIP clients; basic instructions are here. Talk with you then!
