TUAW TV Live at 5 PM ET: Flying solo
After a bunch of TUAW TV Live episodes featuring various buddies Skyped into my machine, I've decided to do a solo gig this week. I'm not sure if Skype is what has been causing some of the issues that have occurred recently, but this might be a good way to do a little bit of troubleshooting while having a whole lot of fun. Believe it or not, I have some unboxing to do, so you'll get to see some new toys. There are a few new favorite apps I want to show off as well, so be prepared for demo time! And as always, I will be responding to the insanity of the chat room. 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.

Steve Sande02.13.2013TUAW TV Live at 5 PM ET: Macworld/iWorld after party with Steve and Randy
We're back from Macworld/iWorld 2013, most of us are rested up from the nonstop interviewing/walking/partying merry-go-round we were on for three or four days, and I've even managed to come back from the trip without a cold or flu (so far). Today Randy Nelson and I will be doing a post-mortem on this year's show from the viewpoints of a longtime Macworld attendee (me) and a Macworld newbie (Randy). 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.

CES 2013 is a memory now, but for those in the Apple world we have a big event coming up in just two weeks -- Macworld/iWorld 2013 in San Francisco.

Steve Sande01.16.2013TUAW TV Live: Broken resolutions, broken hardware
The last few days at the Sande household have been hectic, what with Bionic Barb getting hit with a stomach virus, our Internet service providing dial-up modem speeds for several days, what appeared to be a faulty AirPort Extreme Base Station and some other hardware that's apparently gone bad. It's also that time of year when a lot of people start thinking about changing their lives for the better, so on today's TUAW TV Live we'll chat about resolutions and how quickly they are usually broken -- and how some apps can help you keep improving your life.

Now that 2013 is officially underway and the holiday season is just a pile of glittery wrap sitting in the trash can on the curb, we're back for another year of TUAW TV Live.

Steve Sande11.21.2012TUAW 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.

Steve Sande11.07.2012TUAW 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.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM EDT: Steve's back!
I'm tanned, rested and ready after cruising the Atlantic coast of Europe for two weeks, so it's time to get back to the weekly fun and chaos that is TUAW TV Live. Today, my very special guest will be our very own Brett Terpstra. Brett and David "MacSparky" Sparks have just published a book titled "60 Mountain Lion Tips," and that will be just one of the many topics that I'm sure Brett and I will touch during today's hour-long show.

My cheap, simple livestreaming rig: iPhone, Ustream, Zagg and Clingo
The challenge: On short notice, I was asked to stream holiday services from my wife's synagogue so that homebound congregants and college students could attend at a distance. "Sure," I said, before I really thought it through. My preferred setup for a reliable video stream would include a MacBook Pro running Adobe's free Flash Media Encoder or Livestream's Procaster, quality FireWire-compatible DV/HDV camera and an Ethernet connection for predictable connectivity -- although I wouldn't dismiss Livestream's adorable and compact $495 Broadcaster hardware streaming kit (to say nothing of the company's $8,500 Studio all-in-one switcher). All of this gear would need room and power to operate, which is rarely a problem at concerts or other events I've streamed from the temple. In this case, however, the pews would be full and there'd be no room to run power cables and networking across the floor. Instead, I threw together the above configuration, which is admittedly low-fi and low-rent but worked surprisingly well. It starts with a Zagg Sparq 2.0 portable battery pack (model discontinued, but there are subsequent units). The Sparq's onboard battery will easily charge an iPhone 4S several times over; plenty of juice for hours of streaming without having to string an extension cord. Next up, a Clingo universal car mount. This articulated arm has a suction cup mount on one end and a sticky, figure-eight pad on the other end. The adhesion pad is strong and reusable but easy to detach from the phone without leaving marks or residue. The advantage over a full-back or bracket mount is easy to deduce: the smaller contact area meant that I could securely mount the phone without covering the back camera. The smooth plastic shell of the Sparq, in turn, made an ideal suction cup mounting surface. Finally, the iPhone 4S, plugged into the Sparq and running Ustream's free broadcasting app. I started with the older broadcast-only app; I could (and should) have been using the new version that supports viewing as well. Some users have reported instability in the combo app, and I wanted to be able to leave this running unattended in a corner, but the difference in quality between the year-old Broadcaster app and the new app is pretty substantial. At that point, all that's left to do is plug it in, check for WiFi coverage, aim it to the front and hit the button. As you can see, there's some modeling clay weighting the Zagg in the picture; although it's pretty substantial, depending on the arm angle the iPhone had a tendency to tip. I used a beanbag on site to keep it stable. Later on, I dug out my Glif and a standard tripod to give me some flexibility with the camera placement, but if I faced a situation that called for this combo I'd definitely use it again. Yes, the sound quality's not great, you've got no zoom, and there are plenty of other issues. But in a pinch, this is the sort of setup that lets you stream an event with only wireless bandwidth and your iPhone -- and if that's not living in the future, I don't know what is.

JVC's $349 ADIXXION camcorder is shipping now, packs LCD, WiFi and live Ustreaming (hands-on)
After its mid-summer reveal, JVC's entry into the booming action sports camera market is now shipping and we got to spend some time with the questionably-named GC-XA1 ADIXXION at the company's CEDIA booth. To compete with offerings from GoPro, Sony and our most recent favorite, the Contour+2, the GC-XA1 brings its "Quad Proof" housing that makes it waterproof (to 5M) and shockproof (for falls of up to 2M), dustproof and freeze-proof, as well as built-in WiFi, integrated microphone, image stabilization and a 1.5-inch LCD on the side. It can use WiFi to make a video link with nearby Android or iOS devices as well as PCs so the wearer can check where the camera is pointing, and even stream video directly to Ustream via a hotspot, no PC necessary. For the $349 asking price a goggle mount, flexible mount, two lens protection covers, USB cable and a single battery are included. We didn't have a motocross track or snowmobile handy on the show floor, but in-hand it felt every bit the ruggedized, compact device that its advertised to be and the LCD was decently viewable. Check out a few more pics of it in our gallery below and some sample footage in the video embedded after the break. %Gallery-164717%
