TUAW Talkcast, July 31, 2011: Practically August edition!
Like it or not kids, we've come up on another Sunday night, and you know what that means: Talkcast Time! We have some fake Apple stores to discuss, some beautiful hacks for our shiny new formerly [ROARDACTED] operating system, and my personal favorite, a bit of speculation! Ah, theories. I love them so. It's why I run the home. You don't always know who will show up to talk Apple news with us, so it might be best if you just showed up to see for yourself. As a bonus, I'll rock a little aftershow for the live crowd. If they're good. It's really all about you, the community, so please join me won't you? To participate, you can use the browser-only Talkshoe client, the embedded Facebook app, or download the classic TalkShoe Pro Java client; however, for +5 Interactivity, you should call in. For the web UI, just click the Talkshoe Web button on our profile page at 4 HI/7 PDT/10 pm EDT Sunday. To call in on regular phone or VoIP lines (Viva free weekend minutes!): 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 Blink or X-Lite SIP clients, basic instructions are here. (If you like Blink, the pro version is available in the Mac App Store.) Talk to you tonight!
TUAW Talkcast tonight, 10PM ET/7PM PT/4PM HT: Hot factual edition!
On a warm summer Sunday night, there's really only one option: Get yourself a nice cold beverage and settle in with the TalkCast! This week we're done with some of the speculation at long last, since Lion is finally available, so we'll have hard facts to discuss. On top of new software, we have a pretty impressive list of hardware updates to discuss as well. Did I mention that even before both of these that Apple reported stupendous quarterly earnings? We have a lot to cover this week, which is why I'm bringing in reinforcements! On top of the usual suspects, I'll have Peter Cohen, Angry Mac Bastard and editor of The Loop joining me. I'll also have Jeff Gamet of The Mac Observer on the show. With guests like this, I can't even imagine the aftershow. Oh, I'll be there. I just can't imagine it. It's really all about you, the community, so please join me won't you?

Talkcast tonight, 10PM ET/7PM PT/4PM HT: Speculation edition!
Sunday night can only mean one thing: Talkcast time! This week we have a main course fresh off the barbecue of free-range rumors about Lion, and to go with that we have a potluck of side dish speculation about a new MacBook Air and more. Remember: If Kelly hosts the show, it means we have an aftershow! TUAWTF covers all manner of topics and we are not limited to Mac/iPhone topics, so bring your best cake recipe and join us!

Happy Father's Day! If you've made it through all the grilling and presentations of soap on a rope, join me for this week's Talkcast! We shall cover the news of the last week, including the grand debut of the unlocked iPhone and the possibility of the iPhone replacing the iPod touch. Of course, no Kelly-hosted episode is complete without a visit to my House of Crackpot Theories, and we'll do some rampant speculating on new hardware rumors as well.

TUAW Talkcast, June 5: WWDC Edition!
Sunday, Sunday Sunday!!!! You know what that means, it's Talkcast time!

We will likely have the usual suspects in as well, providing what we'll call "color commentary" in the chat room. Also, if you attend the recording, you are invited to stay for the aftershow, and TUAWTF is never recorded for a very good reason.
