Caught on camera: Two thieves grab iPads and run
Everybody loves iPads, ... even thieves. At about 2:46 PM CT yesterday afternoon, security cameras and employees at Chicago-based MacSpecialist watched as two warmly-dressed thieves first "tried out" iPads at a stand-up kiosk, then ran out the door with them. According to MacSpecialist COO (and occasional TUAW TV Live guest) Tim Robertson, nobody was hurt during the robbery attempt or while chasing the crooks. Tim nearly collides with the door at about 6 seconds into the video (he's wearing the tan coat), but he avoided injury. No suspects have been apprehended in the theft. TUAW recommends that MacSpecialist look into iPad lock cases from Maclocks.com to avoid future iPad loss. Check out the video after the break.
TUAW TV Live - Today it's twice the fun
Welcome back for another hour of TUAW TV Live, our weekly live show where you can join in on the fun. Today, of course, the show is going to be twice the fun when Tim Robertson of OWC Radio and MyMac.com joins host Steve Sande for a lively discussion of the Apple world. Whether we're talking about the new iPad ad, upgrading old Mac hardware, the iPhone 4, favorites from the App Store, or if we're following up on something you said in the chat, it's going to be a raucous discussion. And of course, since Tim's on the show, we'll be sure to do a quick round of "This or That" before we're done.

TUAW TV Live this afternoon -- The Steve and Tim tag team show
Long-time viewers of TUAW TV Live will remember that we had OWC Radio and MyMac.com Podcast host Tim Robertson on the show a while back, and it was a blast. That's Tim in the photo at right, doing his best to imitate a fish out of water. Tim and I tend to riff off of each other pretty well, so it was a fun and fast hour of TUAW TV Live. Well, we were talking (which we both love to do) a few weeks ago, and I decided that it's time to liven things up with another dose of Tim. He'll be joining me this afternoon for another hour of fun talk about Macs, iPads, iPhones, and just about anything else that comes out of Cupertino with an Apple logo on it. The action and general silliness will begin at 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT) today, here at TUAW.com. Just drop by at about the time the show is scheduled to start, and we'll have full instructions on how to watch the show and join in on the live chat.

TUAW TV Live: Coming your way today at 5 PM EDT
Wednesdays are always a special day here at TUAW, because it means that not only is there one less day in the week that Apple can spring a new surprise announcement on us, but it's also the day for TUAW TV Live. Join your host Steve Sande and special guest Tim Robertson for an hour of discussion about everything Apple at 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT) here at TUAW.com. Tim is a veteran blogger and podcaster, starting MyMac Magazine in 1995 and the MyMac.com podcast the same year podcasting appeared on the scene -- 2004. Tim's now a professional podcaster and blogger for Other World Computing, the host of OWC Radio and a fixture on the OWC TV video series. Tim's always a lot of fun to talk with, and you can join in on the fun this afternoon by participating in the chat and asking us questions. We're sure to talk about the new MacBook Pro models that were introduced yesterday, as well as anything else that happens to come up. See you this afternoon!
