Live at 10pm tonight: It's The End Of The World As We Know It, final Sunday "Talkcast"
It may be Superbowl Sunday, but for those of us who have enjoyed reading, contributing to or editing The Unofficial Apple Weblog it's anything but super. As you all know, our parent company has lowered the curtain on this motley crew, and we are set to officially cease publication on Tuesday of next week. For me personally, TUAW's finale is surprisingly emotional. I mused on Twitter that the outpouring of positive feedback and gratitude is a bit like surreptitiously attending your own funeral; comments like these from Federico Viticci, Xeni Jardin, Harry McCracken and Rene Ritchie remind me that the work we've done here over the past decade has not gone unappreciated. It's hard to believe that it was more than eight years ago when Laurie Duncan and Scott McNulty first welcomed me aboard as a shiny new blogger; I never could have imagined the wonderful people I'd meet and work with, great products I'd review, or the strange media experiences I'd have. Recent days have seen far less of me here than I'd have liked, as my day job demanded the bulk of my time and attention. (My entire tenure with the site was as a freelancer, but prior to 2013 my full-time gig was more compatible with my secret identity as a Mac blogger.) With Tuesday's closure, there will be a lot of stories unwritten and reviews undone -- particular apologies to David Sparks, whose great ebook on presentations still sits at the top of my "posts to be written" pile. Still, there was one key appointment at TUAW that I tried to make every week. For almost seven years of Sundays, when 10 pm Eastern (and 7 pm Pacific, and 5 pm Hawaii time) rolled around, you could find the TUAW team holding forth live on our weekly Talkcast show. From the very first episodes in August of 2007 up to our final broadcast in July of 2014, we tried to connect our enthusiasm for TUAW's coverage with the strong opinions and great information that our audience members brought to bear. Always an audio-only affair (despite some flirtations with visual media, and the success of our sister TUAW TV Live show hosted by Steve Sande and Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd), the radio call-in style show featured a rotating team of hosts, a lineup of occasional all-star guests, and the ever-present gallery of readers, listeners and fans who rapidly became a part of the site family. You all rock, and we miss you (which is why Kelly Guimont and I have continued to podcast on The Aftershow). So, we're going to go around one last time. Tonight at 10 pm ET, we're doing a live Hangout -- with video this time! -- to cheer all of you and thank you for your years of support. The TUAW TV Live team is also planning a farewell show for Tuesday afternoon, with exact details to be determined, but for tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999! You can join the Hangout on Air by visiting our G+ Events page, or simply watch via the embedded video below. Can't wait to see you.
Talkcast tonight, 7pm PT/10pm ET: Finale Edition
New dial-in experience! Set up Fuze Meeting before the show if you want to join in live. It's that time for the last time, where we wrap up a bit of news and commentary on this week's TUAW Talkcast. We'll be chatting about all good things, and how sometimes they must come to an end. Tonight we have special guests to help us send the show into the West: Friends of the Show Jeff Gamet and Christina Warren. Also keep in mind this will be the final episode of the TUAW Talkcast, so if you are interested in joining us live, you have tonight to make that a reality. Reminder on new-style talkcasting: With some help from the fine folks at Fuze, we're using a new system to record the show.

Talkcast tonight, 7pm PT/10pm ET: Penultimate Edition!
New dial-in experience! Set up Fuze Meeting before the show if you want to join in live. It's that time once again, where we wrap up a bit of news and commentary on this week's TUAW Talkcast! We'll be chatting about some good security settings, and plan to drive another nail into the "iPads aren't for content creation" coffin. As announced on the show last week, this will be the penultimate episode of the TUAW Talkcast; we're wrapping up our seven-year run at the end of July.

TUAW Talkcast: Exploding Edition!
Ka-booooom! Ka-blammmmm! OOOOOH! AAAAAAAAH! Our US readers were probably treated to the first two, and said the last two during fireworks shows held coast-to-coast (and of course in Hawaii and Alaska as well!) on Independence Day. Tonight on the TUAW Talkcast we're sadly marking the end of the holiday, which for some of us actually lasted four days! There's some interesting news regarding iPhone production that we'll talk about, we'll chat about the growing consensus that the iWatch might not be just a bad rumor with a lot of nice-looking mockups, and anything else that happens to come up.

TUAW Talkcast 2014-06-22: Summer solstice edition!
The days have gotten just about as long as they can get here in Ye Olde Northern Hemisphere, as we marked the official beginning of astronomical summer yesterday on June 21. We're enjoying the lingering twilight, the thrill of a 2-2 heartbreaking World Cup tie between the USA and Portugal, and the debut of Apple's newest and cheapest all-in-one iMac. Should you buy into the $1099 slow-but-slender iMac, or keep your powder dry for something with a bit more horsepower? We'll ponder it all tonight -- live on the Talkcast.

Talkcast tonight: Fire TV, iPhone-first development, and more!
New dial-in experience! Set up Fuze Meeting before the show if you want to join in live. It's Sunday night, and if you're not returning to Westeros for the fourth season of GoT, it's time for the TUAW talkcast! In today's mobile startup landscape, the overcaffeinated, optimistic founders of the Next New Awesome have one big platform choice to make -- iPhone first, or Android first? In the US, despite shifting market share numbers, the answer is overwhelmingly "iPhone first," but some developers go another way. Tonight's TechCrunch story from Emu's Dave Feldman explains why the text-message startup chose to build for Android first, and why after sixteen months the team reversed course, pulled the Android version and pivoted back to the iPhone. We'll discuss this, plus Amazon Fire TV versus the world; Apple's acquisition of Novauris lends hope for a smarter Siri; what Apple's hiring history means for the company's presumed foray into fitness and fashion; Mozilla's challenging week... and more! Tonight, we're also welcoming special guests: The Mac Observer's Jeff Gamet and the Pioneer Press's Julio Ojeda-Zapata. If you haven't seen Julio's recent post and video detailing how he covered a coal plant demolition in Minnesota, or his son's crowdsourcing effort to send his robotics team to a national competition, please check them out.

All-new dial-in experience! See below -- do not call into Talkshoe, we won't be there. Be sure to set up Fuze Meeting before the show if you want to join in live. Macworld/iWorld 2014 is now a thing of the past, which means two things: first, a lot of the TUAW team members are heading back to their respective homes, and second, it's time to talk about the highlights and lowlights of the conference and expo. Since both Mike Rose and Kelly Guimont may be airborne at 10 PM ET, I'll be sitting behind the mic tonight trying to give you my best impressions of Macworld/iWorld 2014. Join me and whoever else decides to help me out for a fun hour of trying to recollect everything that I saw.

Talkcast tonight, 7pm PDT/10pm EDT: Macworld/iWorld preview Edition!
All-new dial-in experience! See below -- do not call into Talkshoe, we won't be there. Be sure to set up Fuze Meeting before the show if you want to join in live. Sunday has once again come upon us, and with it comes another TUAW talkcast! There's breaking "news" tonight courtesy of the Wall Street Journal and "people familiar with the matter," suggesting that Apple and Comcast have engaged in talks to deliver an online TV service with special networking arrangements. We'll discuss that -- but tonight's not just any episode, this one is A Very Special Talkcast. Tonight we have with us a wonderful pair of guests! IDG's Paul Kent, Macworld/iWorld General Manager, has miraculously found an hour in the week before the expo begins to chat with us about the show. Not only is Mister Macworld/iWorld coming by to chat, but we also have a show speaker dropping in: Jean MacDonald, recently of Smile Software, currently of App Camp For Girls, to discuss the App Camp For Girls Open House, happening Saturday morning at Moscone Center. Whether you're coming to the big show in San Francisco (passes still available!) or not, this is a great opportunity to hear from the source what to expect this year. It should be noted that TUAW's own Steve Sande, Doc Rock, Mike Rose & Victor Agreda Jr. will be roaming the expo halls (not to mention yours truly), so we look forward to meeting many of you in person!

You can join the call in progress (meeting # is 20099010) at 10 pm ET from any computer via this link; if you download the Mac or Windows Fuze clients ahead of time, you'll get better audio and a slicker experience, but browser-only will work fine. Just click the phone icon to join the audio once you're in. Using an iPhone or iPad? Grab the native clients from the App Store and get busy. (Even Android users can join the party.) Still feel like using the conventional phone dial-in? Just call (201) 479-4595 and enter the meeting number 20099010, then press #. While the Fuze web and native clients have a chat channel, we'd like to reserve that for host participants, requests to talk and other real-time alerts... so the full-on chat for the show will appear in this very post at 10 pm tonight. You'll need Twitter, Facebook or Chatroll credentials to participate in the chat. We'll remind everyone to check back in at that time.

Talkcast tonight, 7pm PDT/10pm ET: Crowdfunding edition!
All-new dial-in experience! See below -- do not call into Talkshoe, we won't be there. Be sure to set up Fuze Meeting before the show if you want to join in live. We come, once again, to Sunday evening, and with that comes the TUAW talkcast! Tonight's topics will include the usual Apple-related news, but we also have a special guest. Joining us tonight is friend of the show Ross Rubin, who will be discussing his new venture, Backerjack, covering crowdfunded products.
