TUAW TV Live: If at first you don't succeed, try again at 5 PM EDT
Due to technical issues last Wednesday, my planned TUAW TV Live episode with podcaster Sam Levin of AppMinute never got off the ground. Well, we're not going to let a little DNS issue stop our fun! Join Sam and me at 5 PM EDT today as we chat about iOS apps, whether or not Android poses a threat in the tablet computing world, and maybe even do a few giveaways. Just drop by TUAW.com a little before the start of the show to get logged into the chat and get the Ustream ads out of the way before we begin. I'll have full instructions on how to watch and participate in this live weekly event. And please, think good thoughts so we won't have a repeat of last week's technical problems...
Sony's LocationPorter real-time video transmission system goes multichannel
Back in February of 2009, the launch of Sony's LocationPorter RVT-SD100 suggest that the days of needing a tricked out news van to transmit real-time on the scene video could be a thing of the past -- that is, if you had a spare $18k lying around and a solid 3G data connection. The newly-announced RVT-SD200 and its companion RVT-MR200 expands upon that dream by enabling up to 12 LocationPorters to transmit images to one single receiver. Besides paving the way for armies of techno box-toting reporters -- like the one pictured above -- to relay news as it happens, Sony also sees the potential for emergency services like police forces and fire departments to make use of the equipment to relay critical information. We could see that too, but if this new system is priced at anything like the old, we're betting tight public budgets won't make it happen. Then again we can't speak for the Sultan of Brunei's security force.

TUAW TV Live, this afternoon at five
It's hump day, and that means that you can start celebrating the end of the week with an hour of Apple geekitude. This afternoon at 5 PM EDT, join your host Steve Sande for TUAW TV Live. This weekly live streaming video show features talk and opinions about everything Apple, and you're invited to join in via a live chat. We've got a lot of topics in store for you this afternoon, including a look at Vuzix Wrap 310 Video Eyewear (that's Steve at right looking like the late, great Ray Charles wearing the Wrap), the solar-powered Novothink Surge case for iPod touch, the awesome Blue Microphones Yeti USB mic, some new iPhone 4 cases from AGF that AT&T will be featuring in their stores, and the Moshi mini-DP to HDMI adapter. As usual, any topics you wish to bring up are fair game as well. To join in, drop by TUAW just before 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT) and check out the post that will be at the top of the page at that time.

Spin your plates, it's time for TUAW TV Live
In keeping with my earlier theme about today's TUAW TV Live being like an old TV variety show, I submit this awesome shot of people spinning plates on sticks. Yes, that was the sum total of TV entertainment when I was growing up. Today on TUAW TV Live, I won't be spinning plates on sticks except in the metaphorical sense, as we've got a lot of fascinating Apple news to cover this week. To join in from your Mac or PC, just go to the next page by clicking the link at the bottom of this post, and you'll find a live stream viewer and a chat tool. The chat tool allows you to join in on the fun by asking questions or making comments.

The TUAW TV Live variety show, today at 5 PM EDT
If you're as old as TUAW TV Live host Steve Sande, then you probably remember the TV variety show genre. These were shows like The Ed Sullivan Show that featured a variety (duh!) of different acts, from music and comedy, to balancing acts and acrobats. You never knew what you were going to see, and it was all done live. Well, fast-forward about 45 years, and you have the 2010 Apple geek edition of the variety show on today's TUAW TV Live. We've got music (fortunately, Steve won't sing), art, science, nature, and even death-defying stunts of incredible stupidity! Steve is much more animated than the late, great Ed Sullivan (see at right), so you're sure to have a good time. You can watch and join in on the live chat this afternoon at 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT) here at TUAW.com. Just drop by a few minutes before the show goes live, and we'll have instructions on how you can join in on the fun.
Special all-Mac episode of TUAW TV Live
Yep, today we're not going to talk about that other Apple product. You know, the one that fits in your pocket and apparently has some sort of antenna issue, although I said we're not going to talk about that... It's time for an all-Mac episode of TUAW TV Live, with your host Steve Sande. We'll be talking about the all-new Mac mini (especially the server version), some free Mac apps, special deals from Apple, Safari extensions, and anything else that you -- the viewers -- want to chat about. To join in from your Mac or PC, just go to the next page by clicking the link at the bottom of this post, and you'll find a live stream viewer and a chat tool.

Tired of iPhone talk? It's an iPhone-free TUAW TV Live at 5 PM EDT
If you think you're tired of hearing about antenna problems, recalls, and other depressing news, just think how your favorite bloggers here at TUAW feel. We're going to bring a breath of fresh, cool air into the summer heat today with an all-Mac episode of TUAW TV Live. Join host Steve Sande at 5 PM EDT today and we'll explore some recent Mac news, demo some Mac applications (several freebies included), and try out the new studio backdrop and lights. As if that's not enough, we'll have a couple of goodies to give away on the show, which may be the only time we'll step out of the Mac-only theme. How do you join in on the fun? Just come back to TUAW just before 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT) and there will be a live video feed and chat tool ready to go for you. All of the help you'll need will be in the official episode post.

BP unleashes saw-wielding robots in an attempt to plug the leak (livestream)
It might not look like much at the moment, but as we type this BP is sending its vicious saw-wielding robots down to the site of the oil spill in its latest attempt to scuttle the leak -- and CBS is livestreaming the whole affair! Hit the source link to see it for yourself. Update: Looks like CBS switched programming to re-runs of Becker or something. We've updated the source link.
BP's efforts to clean up Gulf of Mexico oil spill livestreamed by PBS
If you're looking to be even more depressed than usual today, you should hit up PBS Newshour's YouTube channel, where they are currently livestreaming the oil spill. That's right, you can see with your own eyes the truly stunning spew of crude happening in the ocean right now, along with BP's "efforts" to clean it up. When we checked in it was pretty quiet on the cleanup effort front, but you know, BP execs have to spend the first 21 hours of each business day counting money. Either way, we'll just have to wait and see if this so-called "Top Kill" is working out or not. PBS is also asking for reader suggestions on how to plug up the hole that's leaking all the oil, so get on over there if you have any good ideas today. Embedded stream follows.
TUAW TV Live at 5 PM EDT: it's all about you
Join your host Steve Sande for this afternoon's TUAW TV Live at 5 PM EDT. Today's show is all about you - we're going to spend an hour talking about your favorite Mac programs and accessories, the iPhone stuff you love the most, and your iPad objects of desire. Think of it as an open-mic day, with a chat room in place of the microphone.

This afternoon, live from the spacious studios of TUAW TV Live in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, your host Steve Sande takes you on a video tour of recent iPhone and iPad apps. Do you need a way to search for a lost ant costume? How about capturing video of everything you're doing on your iPhone? Are you an international financier who needs to keep up to date?

Steve also has some live app demos that he'll be providing for your edification.

At that time, we'll have instructions on how you can watch and participate in today's show.
Sirius execs confirm video service will be live
In an announcement that is being described as a victory for couch potatoes worldwide, Sirius execs at the recent Morgan Stanley Global Automotive Conference claimed that despite rumors to the contrary, Sirius Video will indeed be a live, streaming service (as opposed to delivering cached content). Sirius CEO Mel Karmazin gave the example of a Nickelodeon-loving rugrat -- whose traumatic Spongebob-downtime will soon be mercifully limited to the short walk between couch and minivan -- as the type of customer who will benefit from live broadcasts. Although we've known that Sirius was planning to roll out a video service for well over a year now, this is the first time anyone has been able to pin down the suits on a launch window, with Senior VP Bob Law citing a "post-CES 2007" target for the initial rollout.
