TUAW TV Live: The Final Episode
Well, it's come down to the last episode of TUAW TV Live. The show began back in December of 2009 and has pretty much been on the air every week, except for those times I was out of the country somewhere and didn't have a co-host. A lot of TUAW readers have been asking why we're getting rid of the podcasts, and the reason is simple: the shows have just never, with the exception of the Daily Update, had enough viewers or listeners to support themselves. A highly-focused blog like TUAW survives on one thing -- page views -- and in order to keep providing you with the best in Apple news, we need to keep our attention on what it is that makes revenue. This is a business, not a hobby, so we're constantly tweaking what we're working on in order to keep people gainfully employed. You will see some new and exciting things coming from TUAW in the very near future, some of which I can't divulge right now. We're looking at taking the Daily Update to a short video format soon in order for it to generate revenue right off the bat as part of the AOL On Network. And you'll certainly be seeing and hearing your favorite TUAW bloggers on other podcasts; just not any that are hosted by our site. To watch today's last show, just click on that play button below at around 5 PM ET and the stream should start right up. For even more fun, be sure to sign into the Chatroll tool below the video and join in the discussion. As I said after Sunday's final TUAW Talkcast show, "So long, and thanks for all the fish".

The Wednesday TUAW TV Live is on Thursday this week
Hey, TUAW TV Live fans! The last-ever TUAW TV Live has been moved to tomorrow -- July 31, 2014 -- since my wife "Bionic Barb" is having the second of two eye surgeries today. Be sure to join us for the last time tomorrow afternoon at 5 PM ET. I'll be joined by my lovely co-host Shawn Boyd and the regular cast of characters in the chat room. Since we've never let the lack of a topic stop us from talking for an hour, expect us to just talk about... whatever. Be there. Aloha.
TUAW TV Live: The penultimate episode
It's the penultimate TUAW TV Live, one of your last chances to watch the hosts talking about everything in general and nothing in particular.

TUAW TV Live: Counting down the days
As TUAW Talkcast listeners and Ask TUAW Live viewers already know, all of the TUAW podcasts -- video and audio -- will be ending by July 31, 2014.

We have some fascinating news to discuss, with Apple and IBM joining forces to give Big Blue's enterprise customers a taste of the Apple fruit. To watch the show and take part in the chat, just scroll down a tiny bit, log into the chat room, and be sure to press the "play" button on the video window around 5 PM to watch the stream.

TUAW TV Live: No fireworks, just Steve & Doc

TUAW TV Live: It's your call!
Sometimes it's hard to think of a topic for TUAW TV Live. I mean, this show has been going on the air weekly since December 23, 2009, so it can be a real head-scratcher trying to come up with something to talk about. When all else fails, we'll resort to the old standby -- asking the chat room for topics. That's the idea for today, when Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd and I will await your orders as to what to talk about. To watch the show and take part in the chat, just scroll down a tiny bit, log into the chat room, and be sure to press the "play" button on the video window around 5 PM to watch the stream.

TUAW TV Live: Networking hints and tips
The network -- it's what makes our Macs, our iPads, and even our iPhones so powerful. Whether it's your Wi-Fi network connected to a speedy cable modem, fiber to your home and a Gigabit Ethernet link to your Mac Pro, a slow and spotty cellular data connection, or using Bluetooth to "talk" to accessories in your vicinity, networking gives us the connectivity that truly powers our Apple devices. Today on TUAW TV Live, co-host Mike Wehner and I will do a mental dump of all of the hints and tips about wireless and wired networking that we've accumulated over the years -- and trust me, those are a lot of years. We'd love for you to join us for an hour of mindless banter surrounding priceless nuggets of useful information, and you can even pop into the chat room to give us your thoughts. To watch the show and take part in the chat, just scroll down a tiny bit, log into the chat room, and be sure to press the "play" button on the video window around 5 PM to watch the stream.

TUAW TV Live: Dealing with old media and files
A lot of us who have had computers, camcorders, and cameras for more than just the last 15 years are faced with a real issue -- what to do with all of the physical media that piled up over the years. Today on TUAW TV Live, co-host Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd and I will discuss how to go about getting that media moved over to a format that will work with your current OS X and iOS devices. Have old files that are from an application that no longer exists? We'll give you some tips on how to recover that information, too.

TUAW TV Live: More revelations from WWDC 2014 (Updated)
This week, Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd and I will be talking about the news coming out of San Franciso at the Apple World Wide Developer Conference. Sure, we all know about iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, but what about some of the details that are starting to emerge?

TUAW TV Live: Steve & Doc discuss the odds for WWDC 2014
On Monday morning, June 2, 2014, a bunch of Apple execs are going to take to the stage at Moscone Center West in San Francisco to share the company's latest with developers. A lot of us would love to see new devices from the company; new product categories we haven't even dreamed of and that the rumor sites never had a clue were coming. But let's be realistic -- Apple is a company that admits to never making a big decision without saying "No" a lot to new ideas. So will we see something new? On today's TUAW TV Live, Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd and I are going to rehash some of the rumors that have been banging around the blogosphere for the past several months and give 'em our best guess for a probability of actually being announced at WWDC 2014. It's sure to be a lot of fun, and you can join in on the discussion by joining the chat room.

TUAW TV Live: 3 things every iOS user should know how to do
Last week, TUAW TV Live cohost Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd and I discussed three things that we thought every Mac owner should be able to do with his or her favorite computer. The show was quite successful, so we're back this week with our choices for three (or more) things every iOS device owner should be able to do.

TUAW TV Live: 3 things every Mac owner should be able to do
Nowadays, Mac owners have a variety of ways to learn more about their computers. There are One-to-One sessions and seminars at Apple Stores, Mac user groups, magazines, and even online classes such as those offered by Screencasts Online and Lynda.com. Yet it's often surprising how often that those of us in the Mac-iverse find out that some newer users don't know about common things that they should be doing to keep their computers in top shape. Today, Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd and I will each discuss three of those things that we think every Mac owners should know how to do.

TUAW TV Live: iBeacon, uBeacon, we all Beacon
We're back for another fun-filled episode of TUAW TV Live. This week's topic -- for at least a minute or so -- is iBeacon technology. Earlier today TUAW ran a post about WikiBeacon.org, a site that has just popped up recently with the locations of all recently-found iBeacons. Co-host Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd and I will spend some time talking about the technology, some recent Twitter chatter about the current shortcomings of iBeacon, and possible uses. After that, we'll go back to our usual senseless banter about everything else in the universe. My co-host Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd and I will be taking to the airwaves and chat room at our regular time. Be sure to take part in the chat, and also see if you can answer our weekly trivia question and win a prize! And guess what? Today you don't have to go to a new page to watch the live stream or take part in the chat room. Our recent redesign made the width of the column just a wee bit wider, so we can fit all of our tools into the regular post. So to watch the show and take part in the chat, just scroll down a bit, log into the chat room, and be sure to press "play" to see what's happening.

TUAW TV Live: MacBook Air speed bumps and more
No big news to talk about this week, but at least Apple saw fit to introduce new MacBook Air models with slightly faster CPUs and better battery life. So until we have our Apple-branded Mr. Fusion-powered flying cars, iWatches, or 3D holographic displays on our iPhones, we'll have to talk about the more mundane changes in the Apple ecosystem. My co-host Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd and I will be taking to the airwaves and chat room at our regular time.

TUAW TV Live: Spring Fever episode
Ahhh, spring is in the air. The birds are singing, the trees are budding, and a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of WWDC announcements. Well, it's probably a bit premature to start thinking about what might (or might not) be announced at this year's World Wide Developer Conference, but that's going to be just one of the topics today on TUAW TV Live. We'll have some new weekly features, including our picks of the week for hardware and apps, a trivia question, and maybe even a tip or two to make life easier for you. Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd and I will be getting the show started at around 5 PM EDT today. Note that things will be a wee bit different -- you'll still need to visit us over on the dedicated stream and chat page at http://tuaw.com/tuawtvlive -- but the stream will be coming to you via YouTube. There are some nice things there, like a screen that will tell you how long until we're going live, or if we're a bit late you'll see a "starting soon" screen.
TUAW TV Live at Macworld/iWorld 2014
Although a slight weather delay may keep me from starting off the show with Doc today, we're both planning on gracing your computer and tablet screens later today with a live show from San Francisco. The team is in the Bay Area for Macworld/iWorld 2014, which officially begins tomorrow and runs through Saturday (the MacIT conference started today). The Expo is usually a whirlwind of talks, new product announcements, podcasts, and some amazing parties. If you want to see what we officially have planned, be sure to check out the schedule here. To join in to watch the live feed and participate in the chat, just click here. You'll join us on the AOL On Network.

TUAW TV Live Pre-Macworld/iWorld Episode
The TUAW-logoed Aloha shirts are packed, we're getting the giveaways boxed up, and we're making plans for the annual Apple lovefest known as Macworld/iWorld. TUAW will be wandering about the show floor, hitting the parties, and bringing you all the news on the best new products and apps for your Apple gear. You'll probably see a lot of me and TUAW TV Live cohost Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd wandering around, so if you're at the expo be sure to stop us and chat a bit. Mike Rose and Victor Agreda will also be representing TUAW at the show, and former TUAWer Brett Terpstra will be speaking at the conference. So today, Doc and I are going to chat about what (and who) we want to see at Macworld/iWorld 2014, and hopefully Doc will show off one of the stylish shirts. Join us in the chat room or we'll be very, very upset with you. Really. To join in to watch the live feed and participate in the chat, just click here. You'll join us on the AOL On Network.

TUAW TV Live: The health and fitness hour
I'm back among the living this week, having somehow survived the viral crud that was causing me to lose my voice last week. That means that the wonderful Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd and I will be sending a flood of bits out today from the TUAW TV studios. Since I'm feeling so much better, I thought it would be a fun show to talk about all of the connected devices and apps that we use on a regular basis to keep ourselves somewhat healthy. Doc and I will regale you with stories and demos of our favorite connected gear, and we'd love to hear from you in the chat room to see what your favorites are.
