Talkcast tonight, 10 pm ET: Thanks, giving
It's Sunday, and it's time for the TUAW talkcast! Tonight, we're looking ahead to a very special week -- it's the US holiday of Thanksgiving on Thursday, which coincides with the first day/second night of Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights. Since this alignment hasn't ever really happened before, and (in the absence of changes to either the US or Jewish calendars) won't happen again for thousands of years, we take this unique opportunity to wish you all a very happy Thanksgivukkah. In the spirit of the holidays, we're planning to run down several of the things we're thankful for this year, and also look ahead to the unofficial kickoff of shopping season on Black Friday. Join us at 10pm ET, won't you? Thanks to the fine folks at Fuze, we're using Fuze Meeting to record the show (rather than the legacy Talkshoe system). This should let everyone listen in live -- and, if you want, raise your hand as you would in the Talkshoe room to get unmuted and chime in. You can join the call in progress (meeting # is 20099010) at 10 pm ET from any computer via this link; if you download the Mac or Windows Fuze clients ahead of time, you'll get better audio and a slicker experience. Just click the phone icon to join the audio once you're in. Using an iPhone or iPad? Grab the native clients from the App Store and get busy. (Even Android users can join the party.) Still feel like using the conventional phone dial-in? Just call 775-996-3562 and enter the meeting number 20099010, then press #. While the Fuze web and native clients have a chat channel, we'd like to reserve that for host participants, requests to talk and other real-time alerts... so the full-on chat for the show will appear in this very post at 10 pm tonight. You'll need Twitter, Facebook or Chatroll credentials to participate in the chat. We'll remind everyone to check back in at that time. Your patience and forbearance with our new tech is appreciated in advance. For the time being, the podcast feed of the show will continue to originate from Talkshoe and should be there within 24-36 hours. See you tonight!
Talkcast tonight, 7pm PT/10pm ET: Mini Retina Edition!
All-new dial-in experience! See below -- do not call into Talkshoe, we won't be there. Be sure to set up Fuze Meeting before the show if you want to join in live.

It's Sunday once again, like it or not, so as we come to the end of the weekend, we also come to the TUAW talkcast!

This week we have a look at the new iPad Air, as well as a preview of the coming week's events in TUAW land, the MacTech Conference, where you can meet Victor and Kelly, and even hear Kelly speak! Well. Granted it's not revolutionary to hear me speak, but I have a topic this time so you still might want to check it out.

All-new dial-in experience! See below -- do not call into Talkshoe, we won't be there. Be sure to set up Fuze Meeting before the show if you want to join in live. It's Sunday, and it's time for the TUAW talkcast! Tonight, with our usual gang of TUAW scribes and some special guests, we'll be digging into Mavericks -- the good, the bad and the ugly. (Install Tonight, offline Dictation and Finder tags -- yay! SMB connectivity flaws -- boo!) We'll also address the question of Mac/iOS feature parity in iWork (which is driving some pro users absolutely up the wall), and look ahead to Friday's launch of the iPad Air.

It's Sunday, and it's time for the TUAW talkcast! Looking ahead to this coming Tuesday, it's the all-speculation, all-anticipation edition of the Talkcast. Apple's autumnal "everything but the iPhone" event is right around the corner, so what will we see? (And what won't we see?) And what does Apple's recent hiring spree focused on fashion-industry executive veterans mean for it all? Bring your speculatin' shoes and your opinions to our free-for-all, come-as-you-are weekly live podcast. We'll be joined by some special guests and it should be a blast!

No Talkcast tonight, holiday weekend
Here in the US, many offices and schools are closed tomorrow for Columbus Day; likewise, the TUAW Talkcast crew is taking a holiday weekend Sunday off. (We also wish a very happy Thanksgiving to our north-of-the-45th-or-49th-parallel readers and friends!) We'll be back next week with an all-new live show.
Talkcast tonight, 10 pm ET: Two years, but it seems like yesterday
All-new dial-in experience! See below -- do not call into Talkshoe, we won't be there. Be sure to set up Fuze Meeting before the show if you want to join in live. It's Sunday, and it's time for the TUAW talkcast! It's a week of history around these parts, as we take note of the second anniversary of the death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. CNN interviewed the real woman behind the iconic female voice of Siri, and the New York Times published an extensive look at the high-wire act behind the launch of the original iPhone. We'll discuss all this and more. Join us at 10pm ET, won't you? We're hoping we have last week's tech issues ironed out, but we can always fall back to the Google+ Hangout approach in a pinch. Reminder on new-style talkcasting: With some help from the fine folks at Fuze, we're using a new system to record the show.

Talkcast tonight, 10pm ET: iOS 7 vertigo caused by enormous iPhone sales?
It's Sunday, and it's time for the TUAW talkcast! If you're feeling slightly wobbly and a trifle nauseated, we understand. Although it's possible that your vertigo is related to iOS 7's new parallax effect and zooming visuals, that's affecting relatively few people. (If you're affected, be sure to flip the Reduce Motion switch under Settings, General, Accessibility.) Nobody expects the talkcast errors! We switched to Google Hangouts for this week's show due to problems with the call. See below. No, more likely that the sour taste in your mouth is related to the frantic Wall Street rationalizations and revisionist redactions as the equity analysts covering Apple's business try to figure out how they underestimated iPhone 5c/5s launch sales predictions so drastically. Despite the fact that Apple hasn't changed its sales recognition rules since last year's iPhone 5 launch, somehow nine million phones sold this time around has to be less impressive than you'd think. Because math! Well, at least the stock's holding up. What's that? Oh. We'll discuss these items of community interest, plus more news, tips and tricks -- and a discount for TUAW readers on the MacTech conference. Join us at 10pm ET, won't you? Reminder on new-style talkcasting: With some help from the fine folks at Fuze, we're using a new system to record the show.

Talkcast 10pm ET: iOS 7, phone launch, touching the iVoid, and more
All-new dial-in experience! See below -- do not call into Talkshoe, we won't be there. Be sure to set up Fuze Meeting before the show if you want to join in live. It's Sunday, and it's time for the TUAW talkcast! If only we had anything to talk about this week... nah, just kidding. It's an iPhone launch to remember, and an iOS 7 introduction to boot. We've seen a frantic few days, with long lines and frazzled activations, not to mention an Apple TV update that had to be rolled back suddenly. Equally concerning, the German hacker group Chaos Computer Club claimed on Sunday that they were able to spoof a fingerprint to unlock the iPhone 5s via the Touch ID sensor. The process of capturing and manufacturing the fake print was somewhat involved, and of course once the spy print was made the hacker would still need to get access to your phone -- if phone and print were stolen simultaneously, you might have the hour or two of time before the fake print was ready to wipe your phone remotely. Gizmodo's Jesus Diaz suggested the real risk is that a jealous spouse might use this approach to spy on an iPhone 5s, which is an intriguing domestic drama in the making. Google's Tim Bray suggests that such a vulnerability is situational; in some cases, Touch ID is superior to a PIN, in other cases the converse. We'll discuss this development, plus more news, tips and tricks, and also wish two of our own a very happy birthday! (Steve and Victor.) Join us at 10pm ET, won't you? Reminder on new-style talkcasting: With some help from the fine folks at Fuze, we're using a new system to record the show.

All-new dial-in experience! See below -- do not call into Talkshoe, we won't be there. Be sure to set up Fuze Meeting before the show if you want to join in live. It's Sunday, and it's time for the TUAW talkcast! Back on August 10, AllThingsD put a pin on a Sept. 10 announcement date for Apple's latest iPhone, and guess what: both the colorful, slightly cheaper iPhone 5c and the fingerprint-savvy, 64-bit iPhone 5s made their big debuts, right on schedule. We'll review the week that was and look ahead to the on-sale date next Friday with our usual gang of call-in contributors, plus a couple of special guests: TUAW essayist and Reticle Research founder Ross Rubin, and The Mac Observer's managing editor Jeff Gamet! We might also manage to rustle up a few more surprise guests. Do join us at 10 pm ET, 7 pm PT for all the fun and frolic.

It's Sunday once again, so we come round to that long standing tradition, the TUAW talkcast! Tonight I'm behind the mic, but we'll also have visits from a bunch of the regular band of merry men and women, as well as a very special guest -- Jeff Gamet, raconteur, man about town, and Managing Editor of The Mac Observer. Of course, since there's an Apple event coming up on Tuesday, that's our topic for this evening. We expect to see one or two new iPhones, but perhaps there will be "one more thing" waiting in the wings for us.

Still feel like using the conventional phone dial-in? Just call 775-996-3562 and enter the meeting number 20099010, then press #. While the Fuze web and native clients have a chat channel, we'd like to reserve that for host participants, requests to talk and other real-time alerts... so the full-on chat for the show will appear in this very post at 10 pm tonight. You'll need Twitter, Facebook or Chatroll credentials to participate in the chat. We'll remind everyone to check back in at that time. Your patience and forbearance with our new tech is appreciated in advance. For the time being, the podcast feed of the show will continue to originate from Talkshoe and should be there within 24-36 hours. See you tonight!
Talkcast 10pm ET: August doldrums, ITC vetoed, Mansfield makes good
All-new dial-in experience! See below -- do not call into Talkshoe, we won't be there. Be sure to set up Fuze Meeting before the show if you want to join in live. It's Sunday, and it's time for the TUAW talkcast! As the dog days of summer settle in, we tend to relax a little bit on the show; bring an icy beverage, laze around the backyard, that sort of thing.

Reminder on new-style talkcasting: With some help from the fine folks at Fuze, we're using a new system to record the show.

Talkcast 7pm PT, 10pm ET: Outage Edition!
All-new dial-in experience! See below -- do not call into Talkshoe, we won't be there. Be sure to set up Fuze Meeting before the show if you want to join in live. It's Sunday, and it's time for the TUAW talkcast! Hopefully we haven't lost too many listeners to the heat. Hopefully we'll have a lovely batch of developers with us since the developer portal is still down. This usually means developers end up resorting to things like socializing to fill their time, so who knows who you might have on the show this evening! We also have Logic Pro to discuss, and there's an excellent chance we'll do a bit of speculating on the aforementioned outage. We'll be sure to discuss the other news of the week as well, so please join us!
