TUAW TV Live: 4th anniversary show
Yeah, I know that it's hard to believe, but TUAW TV Live turns 4 years old in the next week. On December 23, 2009, I sat down in front of my iMac and started an hour-long Ustream broadcast, not knowing that almost four years later I'd still be doing this weekly show. Now, of course, I'm joined by my friend and colleague Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd for the show, which makes for even more fun. On today's show, we'll talk about the amazing changes that we've seen in the Apple world over the past four years and speculate on what could transpire during the next four years. We'd love to get your comments in the chat room, so join in on the fun. Note that due to the impending holidays, this is the last TUAW TV Live until January 8, 2014.

TUAW TV Live: 'Twas two weeks before Christmas...
... and all through the internet, not a creature was stirring, not even a podcast host. Well, enough of the attempt to try to update Clement Clarke Moore's classic poem for the 21st century; it's time for another TUAW TV Live. I believe that this will be a solo run today, as the good Doctor Rock has been spending time with his relatives in the eastern US this last week. But hey, I did this show without a handsome cohost for a couple of years, so I'm sure I can probably wing it! By the way, December 23 will mark the fourth anniversary of TUAW TV Live. It's hard to believe that the show has been on the air almost weekly for that many years -- but thanks to the enthusiasm of the viewers and chat room participants, we're thriving. Thanks in advance for helping to make the show a reality, folks. To join in to watch the live feed and participate in the chat, just click here. You'll join us on the AOL On Network.

TUAW TV Live: The island of misfit apps and products
Following last week's show, in which Doc and I went through our regrettable purchases of tech equipment, it occurred to me that there are a lot of current apps and products that could be placed in an online store category called "What were they thinking?" So today, we're going to take a look at some of the most questionable products -- both software and hardware -- that we've encountered over the past few years. Some of these products will be sure to have you shaking your head wondering who actually thought these were a good idea...

TUAW TV Live: Regrettable purchases
Have you ever spent your hard-earned money on a computer, an accessory or some software, only to regret spending that money later on? It can be anything from an app that didn't perform to your expectations to a piece of hardware that failed miserably from the first day it was plugged in. On today's show, Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd and I will reminisce about some of the worst purchasing decisions we've ever made and talk about products that just ... don't ... work.

TUAW TV Live: We love us some iPad Airs
Being the spoiled techno-brats that we are, Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd and I just had to go out last Friday and pick up new iPad Airs. Tweets we swapped over the weekend show that both of us are amazed with Apple's latest device, which not only boasts significant speed improvements and lighter weight, but also seems to have better battery life. On today's TUAW TV Live, we'll be talking about the new tablets and how much we love them, as well as go through our list of what we considered to be the essential apps to load onto the new devices. Our App Editor Kelly Hodgkins worked up a list of the first five apps she installed on her new iPad Air, and it should be enlightening -- if not just downright fun -- to see what Doc and I installed on our skinny little iPads.

TUAW liveblogging tomorrow's Apple event
Tomorrow's the day for Apple's product announcement. At least one new iPhone will be announced, and if the past is any indication, we may see at least "one more thing" from the assembled Apple execs who will be showing off the company's latest innovations. TUAW is liveblogging the event beginning at 12:45 PM ET / 9:45 AM PT and you can bookmark our liveblog page today. TUAW TV Live will be moving to Tuesday this week, with hosts Steve Sande and Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd doing a live post-event analysis beginning at 5 PM ET.

TUAW TV Live: Samsung snarkery episode
As I write this in the early afternoon (ET) of September 4, 2013, Samsung's big event is occurring, complete with orchestra on stage, satellite link to Times Square and the new Galaxy Note 3. Doc and I will take a few minutes to dissect today's announcements from Apple's biggest competitor, and then talk about next week's big event -- the Apple announcement on September 10 at which the next-generation iPhone is expected to be rolled out. Sure, Samsung's upstaged the kids from Cupertino with Galaxy Gear, but perhaps we'll see something new and exciting and won't have to put up with an annoying host wearing the ugliest glasses on the planet.
