TUAW TV Live at 5 PM ET: Sande and Randy
Now that the new 27" iMac is set up and ready to beam video around the world, I decided it's time to get some of my fellow TUAWites onto the show to talk about ... stuff. Today's guest will be one of our crack team of bloggers, Randy Nelson. It's been a quiet week in the Apple world, but we'll have plenty to talk about. From those silly rumors about an Apple-branded TV to early rumblings about the next-generation iPad mini, there's a lot to discuss. As usual, I'll be starting the show at 5 PM EST (2 PM PST / 10 PM GMT) sharp, and we'll take a few minutes to chat before the demos start.

TUAW TV Live: Unboxing Day
OK, this should be a barrel of laughs as I try to avoid being buried under the deluge of boxes that have appeared at my door lately. Seriously, I have so many new Apple accessories here that I think I have a better selection than the Apple Store.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM ET: Unboxing Day
In a number of the Commonwealth nations, Boxing Day (celebrated on December 26) is celebrated both in the historical sense as a day when gifts are distributed and in the present sense as a big day to watch sporting events and go shopping. Today, December 5, 2012, is going to be celebrated at Unboxing Day, when I will try to go through some of the piles of stuff that have arrived in the past two weeks and show you the latest in new accessories for everything Apple. As usual, I'll be starting the show at 5 PM ET (2 PM PT / 10 PM GMT) sharp, and we'll take a few minutes to chat before the demos start.

Hey, everybody -- it won't be me on TUAW TV Live today. Instead, Kelly Guimont will be hosting today's show, providing your weekly hour of entertainment live from Portland, Ore. Kelly says she'll be wingin' it today, which means that this week's hot topics -- the VP over iOS Maps at Apple getting canned, the non-appearance of iTunes 11 and the "let's squeak it in on the last day of November" introduction of the new 21.5" iMac -- will most likely be discussed in detail.

Ahh, Thanksgiving! The day of feasting on food, football and the company of friends and family.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM: Winding down for turkey day
Today's TUAW TV Live is going to be pretty laid back. No guests, no Skype issues; just me, my iPhone 5 (yeah, it finally showed up), a guest visit from Internet star Ruby the cat, and some unboxings.

TUAW TV Live, with special guest Josh Carr
When people in the Denver area have a smashed iPhone screen or want to upgrade an old iMac for the kids, who do they call? Usually it's Rocky Mountain Mac Repair, a business founded and run by Josh Carr. I first met Josh when he was writing for TUAW, and we've kept in touch over the years as his business has grown. Josh will be my guest today on TUAW TV Live, and we'll be talking a lot about Apple hardware -- past, present and future -- and about how Apple seems to be making their products less repairable. We'll also talk about the best upgrades to do to your favorite old Mac to extend its life, and any other topic that happens to come to mind. 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. You'll be watching the show in glorious HD!

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM ET: All about repairing Apples
If you've followed any of our coverage of iFixit's latest adventures tearing apart Apple products to determine their ease of repairability, you've probably noticed that the posts have one thing in common -- they talk about how difficult it's getting to tear these things apart in such a way that they can be easily repaired. Today's guest on TUAW TV Live is Denver-based Apple repair whiz (and former TUAW blogger) Josh Carr. Josh is the man behind Rocky Mountain Mac Repair, a company that can take your ailing or underpowered Apple device and give it new life. Josh and I will be talking about Apple's latest products, a day in the life of an Apple technician, and just about anything else that comes to mind. Oh, and there will be unboxings...

TUAW TV Live: Treating you with tricks for Halloween
Today's episode of TUAW TV Live will be a bit different than anything you've seen before. Instead of dressing up as a middle-aged Apple geek, I might be wearing a Halloween costume. That won't change the content much, but it might be easier on your eyes to look at me in a costume. Kelly has begged off of the show this afternoon (something about needing to get her broom a tuneup before this evening), but new TUAWer Randy Nelson has agreed to step into her pint-sized shoes. It's not as if we'll have much to talk about ... oh, just a superstorm hitting the East Coast, Apple execs getting fired, Disney buying Lucasfilm and more stuff hitting the TUAW Labs. Speaking of apps (were we?), the monster below is courtesy of the free monsterizer pro app by our very own Erica Sadun. Below, you'll find a Ustream livestream viewer and a chat tool.

TUAW TV Live: Blogging in LA
Yeah, so I'm in LA right now. That doesn't mean that I'm hitting the beaches, cruising the freeways, or surfing. No, I'm here with Bionic Barb (she's attending a conference), and basically I'm working on my TUAW writing and doing some edits on a book. What it does mean is that I'm really sick and tired of being holed up in this hotel, so it's going to be a refreshing change of pace to chat with all of you on TUAW TV Live today.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM ET: Live from LA
This week, I'm in Los Angeles, Calif. While I can't guarantee that today's show will come from poolside (the hotel I'm staying at is really close to LAX and the airplane noise might be a bit loud), I can assure you that we'll have a chance to chat about our favorite fruit-flavored consumer electronics company today. And there's a lot to talk about! Apple has teased the world with invitations to an event on October 23, I've fallen in love with a new social media app (Lightt), and there are also a number of software and hardware announcements that have made their way into my inbox since last Wednesday.
