TUAW TV Live: Bring your Lion questions and tips
TUAWloha, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of TUAW TV Live. Since more viewers and readers have had a chance to install Lion since last week's live demos, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to give everyone in the chat a chance to ask questions and supply tips about the latest version of OS X. 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. If you're driving somewhere and would like to watch TUAW TV Live while you're stuck in traffic, please don't -- keep your eyes on the road! However, if someone else is doing the driving, you can watch the show on your iPhone and join the chat by downloading the free Ustream App. It's a universal app and is wonderful on an iPad, both for viewing and participating in the chat. We'll start at about 5 PM ET, so if you're seeing a prerecorded show, be sure to refresh your browser until you see the live stream. For those of you who are not able to join us for the live edition, you'll be able to view it later this evening on our TUAW Video YouTube channel and as part of the TUAW TV Live podcast viewable in iTunes or on any of your Apple devices. Having problems with the Flash player below? Here's a direct link to a non-Flash version of the show.
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. As usual, I'll be starting the show at 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT / 10 PM BST) sharp, and we'll take a few minutes to chat before the demos start. To join in on the chat and watch the live streaming video, drop by TUAW about five minutes before the start time to get your instructions on how to participate. If you're unable to join us for the show, remember that you can always subscribe to the video podcast and watch the show at your leisure in iTunes or any other favorite podcatching app. The past shows are also available on the TUAW YouTube channel. Updated: The podcast subscription link was broken in the original post.
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. If you're driving somewhere and would like to watch TUAW TV Live while you're stuck in traffic, please don't -- keep your eyes on the road! However, if someone else is doing the driving, you can watch the show on your iPhone and join the chat by downloading the free Ustream Viewing Application. If you're on an iPad, you should be able to use the Puffin browser to watch the stream, although you will not be able to participate in the chat. We'll start at about 5 PM ET, so if you're seeing a prerecorded show, be sure to refresh your browser until you see the live stream. For those of you who are not able to join us for the live edition, you'll be able to view it later this evening on our TUAW Video YouTube channel and as part of the new TUAW TV Live podcast viewable in iTunes or on any of your Apple devices.

TUAW TV Live: Conversations with the Kahuna
Wikipedia defines Kahuna as a Hawaiian word meaning "Priest, sorcerer, magician, wizard, minister, expert in any profession," and Doc Rock is certainly a wizard of words and an expert in all things Apple. Doc is my guest today on TUAW TV Live, and we plan on having a lively hour of discussion and fun. We'd love to have you join us through the live chat and our video stream of Apple nonsense. 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.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM EDT: Catching the TUAWloha spirit
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to your computer, two of the most recognizable voices in Mac-dom are back. My mellifluous voice and that of the pride of the Aloha State -- Doc Rock -- will be gracing the Interwebs today in our special pre-Fourth of July episode. Actually, there's nothing special at all about today's episode, but it's always a lot of fun when the Doc does a house call. I've got a few new products to demo, Doc and I will be talking about a fun new app that keeps your calendar within view at all times, and we'll generally make the one-hour show go by very quickly. As usual, I'll be starting the show at 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT / 10 PM BST) sharp, and we'll take a few minutes to chat before the fun starts. To join in on the chat and watch the live streaming video, drop by TUAW about five minutes before the start time to get your instructions on how to participate.

TUAW TV Live: Summer's here, and so is Jeff Gamet
Welcome to another episode of TUAW TV Live, the only live Apple show where the technical flaws are good for a laugh, the host's hat changes every week, and pants are optional. Today's show should be extra fun, with guest Jeff Gamet popping into the virtual studio to provide opinions, insight, and his special brand of humor. Jeff's the managing editor of The Mac Observer and can be frequently heard or seen on a number of podcasts when he's not writing or speaking to user groups. 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.

TUAW TV Live: More website design options than you can shake a stick at
Today's TUAW TV Live is designed to impart a lot of information in one hour, and to get my current obsession with iWeb replacements out of my head for good. In case you're wondering why I've been writing so much about iWeb lately, it's because I've written three editions of a book about the Apple website creation tool for Take Control Books. Naturally, I started getting a lot of questions from readers of both TUAW and my book about what they should do if iWeb and MobileMe hosting disappear from the face of the Earth. Between thinking of answers to these questions and having a wealth of information from a community college class that I teach, I figured it was a good time to create a treasure trove of web and video resources for reference in the future. I'll be demonstrating and discussing a variety of website design and hosting options today on the show, so if you have even a slight interest in the topic, be sure to join in or watch the recorded show later. 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.

TUAW TV Live: A whole lotta appin' going on
I'm back from vacation, and part of what I did to enjoy myself while relaxing was to take a look at some compelling new iOS apps. As part of today's TUAW TV Live, I'll be sharing some of those new apps with you. Whether you're looking for a way to share more of your world with your friends, keep your to-do list in order on multiple devices, or create your own iPad-based data collection system, I'll have some fun apps to demo for you today. There are always a few accessory items that seem to show up at my doorstep, and I'll have a few new items to show you today, including one iPad accessory that might also be useful when taking a nap.

TUAW TV Live: In-depth iPad app demos for your viewing pleasure
Thanks for joining me here on TUAW TV Live today. Whether you're just watching the show or taking full advantage of the chat room tool, you're sure to have a lot of fun. Live demonstrations are always a challenge, and today I'm tempting fate by demoing several iPad apps.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM EDT: iPad app deep dives
What a great day! Apple has responded to the "locationgate" controversy in a nice, logical PR blast; the mythical white iPhone 4 will be available starting tomorrow, and here in the Northern Hemisphere it's really starting to look like spring. It's also Wednesday, which means that later this afternoon you can join me for an hour of fun, tech talk and technical blunderings on TUAW TV Live. On today's show, I'm going to take a deep dive into a handful of iPad apps. I'm not going to tell you what those apps are, but let's just say that they're fascinating and take advantage of the iPad hardware and user interface in very good ways. As usual, I'll be starting the show at 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT / 10 PM BST) sharp, and we'll take a few minutes to chat before the demos start. To join in on the chat and watch the live streaming video, drop by TUAW about five minutes before the start time to get your instructions on how to participate.

YouTube Live now streams to iOS, courtesy of YTLive web app
Watching YouTube on an iOS device can be a pleasant experience, unless you're trying to view the service's Live content. YouTube Live -- its answer to Ustream, Livestream, and other streaming video services -- was recently launched after months of limited trials. Wonderful news, of course, but there is just one catch: it uses Flash to provide the streaming instead of HTML5. At first, this meant iOS users were left uninvited to the party, but a savvy developer sensed the coming frustration and built YTLive, a web app enabling YouTube Live streams on Safari. Find and copy the link to the live stream you want, go to the app, and paste it in the box provided. Then, let your hearts be gladdened as you delightfully devour as much video as you can handle. Head to our source link below to find the app.
TUAW TV Live: A special early edition at 3 PM EDT today
I was looking forward to combining today's Apple Second Quarter 2011 Results Conference Call and TUAW TV Live into one incredible show -- until it was pointed out that I'd need Apple's prior approval to do so. As a result, TUAW TV Live is going to be kicking off two hours early at 3 PM EDT (Noon PDT) today, and we'll be hosting a liveblog for the financial call at 5 PM EDT. Part of the show will be a look at the prognostications of Wall Street on what we'll probably hear from Apple today, while the rest of the hour will be dedicated to a discussion of this week's Apple news and what's new in the world of Apple hardware and software. I'll still be using our regular Ustream tools this week for the broadcast. To join in on the chat and watch the live streaming video, drop by TUAW about five minutes before the start time to get your instructions on how to participate. If you're unable to join us for the show, remember that you can always subscribe to the video podcast and watch the show at your leisure in your iTunes or your other favorite podcatching app.
TUAW TV Live: Big hardware, cool apps
To me, there's nothing more fun than hearing the doorbell ring as a box is delivered by my friendly FedEx, UPS or USPS driver. More often than not, they're delivering a piece of hardware or an accessory for me to test, and that makes a lot of days seem like Christmas morning. The rest of the time, the TUAW staff is braving a flood of app announcements, many of which are for really incredible apps. That's why today's TUAW TV Live will feature some live app demos, and I'll also be showing you some of the hardware that's in the studio awaiting review. From your Mac or PC, go to the next page by clicking the Read More link at the bottom of this post, and you'll find a livestream viewer and a chat tool.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM EDT: Apps, big drives and monster mics
Today on TUAW TV Live, I'll be demonstrating some apps, showing off a big (6 TB) external drive and talking about the Blue Yeti Pro microphone. I also have some new and unique products to show off that I'm not going to tell you about until this afternoon. Why? Because one of them is under embargo, and I also want to keep viewers in suspense. The show will begin at 5 PM ET / 2 PM PT / 10 PM BST and run about one hour. To join in on the chat and watch the live streaming video, drop by TUAW about five minutes before the start time to get your instructions on how to participate.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM EDT: Open topic Wednesday
Today's TUAW TV Live will be coming to you from an undisclosed location in a hotel room somewhere in California. As such, I'm operating on a much slower network and without all of the support equipment that I usually have at the TUAW TV Studios. We're going to have some fun this afternoon, though -- if you provide the topics, I'll respond the best I can. Think of this as an open mic night at your local bar, except you won't get to sing, and there's no alcohol involved. As usual, we'll be starting at about 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT / 10 PM BST). At that time, drop by TUAW and I'll have full instructions on how you can watch the live streaming video and participate in the chat. If you can't join me this afternoon, be sure to subscribe to the TUAW TV Live podcast through iTunes.
TUAW TV Live: Tapping out iOS app demos
It's been a while since I did a show dedicated to nothing but iOS apps, and with the iPad 2 and iOS 4.3 looming in the near future I thought it would be a perfect time to showcase some of the best (and some not so good) apps that have recently hit the App Store. I have such a wide variety of apps to show you today that I'm not even going to list them here. Suffice it to say that I'll demo enough apps to keep you entertained for an hour! And I'll also be demoing my setup for Friday, when I'm hoping to do some livestreaming video from the iPad 2 line. From your Mac or PC, go to the next page by clicking the Read More link at the bottom of this post, and you'll find a livestream viewer and a chat tool.

Rise and Shiny recap: Priston Tale 2
In continuing with the theme from the last few weeks, I examined another "grinder" -- this time, Priston Tale 2. I have to admit to being a little overwhelmed with the grind at this point. I cannot fathom how a player can grind after gear, levels or whatever the item is, for months, if not years, of his life. Normally, the free-to-play games I am looking at or enjoying while "off the clock" are not such a grind. Yes, there is some element of that to almost every single game I have ever played, but my favorite games give me a choice or a way to avoid the grind. It should be noted that even in the worst example of a grindy game there is the possibility of social interaction. Social interactions, in their many forms, are possible any time you have multiple players and a way to communicate. This is no small accomplishment, but it is often ignored as a very basic, important gaming possibility. Still, we're here to talk about what Priston Tale 2 might offer that is different than any number of good-looking free-to-play grinders. So, let's get to it. %Gallery-106874%
TUAW TV Live: A brief history of notable Apple product announcements
Today on a special remote edition of TUAW TV Live, I'll be screening some amazing video clips for you that show Apple product releases of the past. It's hard to believe how far Apple and its product lines have come since the late 1990s. You'll see the first incarnations of some of the current Apple cash cows and marvel at how bad the specifications were on top-of-the-line equipment just a little over a decade ago.
