TUAW TV Live: Steve and Doc Rock predict what's ahead for 2012
Yeahhh, as if we know! Well, actually Doc Rock and I probably have as good a track record at predicting what is going to come out of Cupertino as some of the Wall Street analysts who have been prognosticating this week, and we're certainly more fun to listen to.

Welcome to another episode of TUAW TV Live! On today's show, I have a prerecorded interview with Paul Kent of IDG World Expo, the man behind next January's Macworld | iWorld: The Ultimate Fan Event.

TUAW TV Live: Open mics on the last day of November
Did this month just fly by or what? Just 35 days ago I was doing a live review of the "new" iPhone 4S, and now all of us are used to talking to Siri. It's also hard to believe that in just a few weeks, TUAW TV Live marks its second anniversary of weekly idiocy. Time flies, and so will today's show as I open the microphones to TUAW TV Live regulars. I'll provide my Skype address to folks in the chat room, and if you'd like to pontificate about a topic for 5 - 10 minutes, you'll have the chance.

TUAW TV Live: Hot Black Friday deals, tablets on Fire
Wow, TUAW TV Live is going to be hot enough to cook a 22-lb. turkey today. I have a pile (and I mean that literally) of new goodies to show you. I have a taped interview with Dan de Granpre of DealNews.com talking about the great deals you can expect on all sorts of techie toys on Black Friday.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM: Hot deals from Dealnews and a Fire smackdown

Since last week, I've also done enough hands-on time with a Kindle Fire tablet to do a really good side-by-side comparison of the two devices.

Welcome back to another exciting episode of TUAW TV Live. It's hard to believe that this show has almost been on the air for two years; time flies when you're having fun with a great group of people! And speaking of time flying, our "Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?" proprietress of the House of Crackpot Theories™ is one year older today. Kelly Guimont is my guest co-host on TUAW TV Live today, which means that there should be some craziness, yummy birthday cake (courtesy of Ms. Guimont), and a lot of other fun goings-on. One short but controversial topic will be the Amazon Kindle Fire, which is a little short for a stormtrooper, too. I'll also have the usual introductions to a number of items that will be reviewed on TUAW in the near future. Below, you'll find a Ustream livestream viewer and a chat tool.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM ET: A little bit of everything
I'm still in a tizzy running around doing sixteen things at once, so I wasn't able to get a guest lined up for today's TUAW TV Live. So, what's a live streaming video host to do? Easy -- just talk about a lot of new and wonderful things for Apple devices, chat with viewers about the news, throw in a little Apple trivia and discuss the differences between publishing a book on the Amazon Kindle Bookstore and the Apple iBookstore.

TUAW TV Live: Accessories, apps, and more
As promised in the promo earlier today, this episode of TUAW TV Live will be full of accessory and app demos of some of the latest goodies that have shown up at the TUAW Studio / Hardware Testing Lab that occupies my office.

TUAW TV Live: Reviewing the iPhone 4S
The iPhone 4S has been out for a dozen days, and it's already proving to be Apple's most popular phone ever. The 8 MP camera takes spectacular photos and video, the speed of the device in both native operations and running web apps is amazing, and Siri has raised the bar for what a smartphone needs to be. On today's TUAW TV Live, I'm going to walk through a lot of the features of this new device, do side-by-side comparisons with an iPhone 4 running iOS 5, talk about Siri in daily use, and -- as always -- take questions from TUAW TV viewers in the chat room. Is the iPhone 4S enough of an improvement over the iPhone 4 to make for a no-brainer upgrade decision? You'll find out in just a few minutes.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM EDT: The iPhone 4S review show

The proprietress of Kelly's House of Crackpot Theories, Ms. Kelly Guimont, will be joining me this afternoon for what should be a wildly fun edition of TUAW TV Live.

TUAW TV Live: Bring your Lion questions and tips
TUAWloha, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of TUAW TV Live.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM EDT: A live look at Lion (Updated)
Today on TUAW TV Live, there's only one topic -- OS X Lion. I've been working with various developer beta versions of Apple's latest operating system for several months now while writing a book about Lion, and I can't wait to show off some of the new features of the big cat. If you're interested in OS X Lion Server, I've got it up and running as well -- it's now a $49.99 app that runs on Lion and provides a simple user interface for most of the major tasks involved in setting up and maintaining a server. For those who have been afraid to set up a small office or home server due to the complexity of doing so, your time has come. How about those new MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs? The old plastic-body MacBook is no more, and there's a lot more to talk about in the chat room today.

TUAW TV Live: iPad apps extravaganza
Well, with that headline I've finally acheived a life goal -- writing a TUAW headline with the word "extravaganza" in it. Today's TUAW TV Live is going to be all about iPad apps, except for the parts where I'll be talking about Google+, opening some boxes of hardware that are awaiting review, and maybe talking a little bit after all about an upcoming OS update. Below, you'll find a Ustream livestream viewer and a chat tool. The chat tool allows you to participate by asking questions or making comments.
