We took our holiday break last week, but it's that time again: make an appointment on your iPhone or set a reminder in iCal, because this week the TUAW talkcast is an hour early (9 pm ET/6 pm PT), and doubly live. Of course, we're always live on Talkshoe, but in this case we'll also be live and in person from San Francisco. We've got half the team onsite at Macworld Expo, and we're taking a break from unpacking and sneaking peeks into the Moscone Center windows to gather round the microphone and share our excitement and anticipation. Best of all, you can chime in as well -- let us know what you're looking forward to and what you want us to cover from the show.

Will there be surprises at the Philnote? Is the skinny on the mini straight up? Who's going to win Keynote Bingo? All fair game during the talkcast. We'll also preview some of our coverage for the week, including the keynote liveblog, videos, giveaways, our moment-by-moment Twitter feed -- of course, every bit of it reachable from the master Macworld Expo page.

You can participate on TalkShoe by using the browser-only client, or you can also use the classic TalkShoe Pro Java client; however, for maximum fun, you should call in. For the web UI, just click the "TalkShoe Web" button on our profile page at 10 pm Sunday. To call in on regular phone or VOIP lines (take advantange of your free cellphone weekend minutes if you like): dial (724) 444-7444 and enter our talkcast ID, 45077 -- during the call, you can request to talk by keying in *-8. Talk with you then!

Robert and Dave fought their way through a Talkshoe hardware failure to do a great talkcast last week, covering the concept of the 'kitchen Mac' and more. You can listen to the show from Talkshoe's site, or download the episode in iTunes / via RSS.

We're back again tonight (Sunday 12/21) at 10 pm ET with one item on the agenda: the Macworld Expo announcements from Apple, Schillerizing the keynote address and what it means for the future of the preeminent Mac tradeshow. Of course, we'll be taking your questions and comments on that story and more, including best guesses and rumors for products coming in the new year.

Next week (12/28) we'll be taking our holiday break, so this will be the last live show of 2008; don't forget to join us again on Sunday January 4 as we ramp up for our Macworld Expo-stravaganza of coverage, with multiple live call-ins during the week, reader meetups, videos, giveaways and more!

On last night's talkcast, the Iconfactory's Gedeon Maheux and Craig Hockenberry joined us to discuss their concerns with the App Store, and they noted that Friday's layout changes are a step in the right direction.

"It's another of many steps that Apple's making to make the iTunes infrastructure work better with applications for the iPhone," Hockenberry said. Even so, they explained there's still room for improvement.

Hockenberry would like to see a popularity algorithm that takes into account the price of an app along with the number of times its been downloaded. "If you sell ... ten apps at $100 or a hundred apps at $10 or a thousand apps at $1, you're all equal." He also wanted to see a kind of demo system implemented, but knew that would involve more work for Apple.

Maheux said he would prefer to see more data about where apps are being sold: on a category page versus a tile on the App Store home page, for example. He also pointed out that having an app displayed on the home page results in an astronomical increase in sales. "All those people who say that ... you can market your way to the top: I completely disagree with them. They don't know what they're talking about. ... Being on the [App Store] front page is all that matters."

He said the Iconfactory applauds Apple for responding to developer feedback and improving the App Store. "Anything that starts a dialogue about this stuff is a good thing."

The Iconfactory has released two iPhone apps: the popular twitter client Twitterrific, and strategy game Frenzic.

You can listen to the interview at our Talkshoe page, or via iTunes. The interview starts at about the 25 minute mark. Don't skip the the first part of the talkcast, though, where Dave, Mel and I discuss Apple's netbook possibilities and the ideal kitchen computer.

Last week we introduced several of our new bloggers on the Sunday night talkcast -- a baptism by Skype? Hazing by VoIP? Whatever you call it, we certainly enjoyed meeting them and so will you. You can listen to the show from Talkshoe's site, or download the episode in iTunes / via RSS.

We're back again tonight (Sunday 12/14) at 10 pm ET to tackle the eternal question of Macdom: "If you had a Mac in your kitchen -- or even a Mac-like household navigator, the iKitchen -- what would it do?" We'll also dive into the ongoing rumblings around App Store pricing and positioning challenges for developers.

Last week Mike Schramm & Dave Caolo set out to rock the talkcast and did, in fact, do just that -- a solid hour's worth of Black Friday review, news and tips, plus discussion of Boxee & Christina's interview with the developers. You can listen to the show from Talkshoe's site, or download the episode in iTunes / via RSS.

We're back again tonight at 10 pm to introduce the latest in Apple blogging technology: TUAW's newest bloggers, who will be joining us to answer your questions and talk about themselves as modestly and humbly as they can. We'll also dig into the week's news, including the antivirus commotion and the withdrawal of some big exhibitors from Macworld Expo next month.

The SporeTV podcast (now available in iTunes) hopes to satisfy your tastes as the creator, Will Wright, explains the basis of the game and a little history behind it. You can subscribe to the podcast by visiting the iTunes podcast page. We hope there's more videos to come!

Podcaster AppYou've heard about the controversy surrounding Podcaster -- it's the iPhone app that was turned down by Apple for "duplicating the functionality of iTunes." The developer, Alex Sokirynsky, is now distributing his native podcast stream receiver app via ad hoc distribution.

The iPhone development world & the Mac blogosphere (not to mention the mainstream press) is still loudly debating Apple's decision, but not much is being said about the application itself. Alex was kind enough to provide a review copy of Podcaster to TUAW, so we gave the app a workout. Read on for our review of this controversial and useful application.

Last week's talkcast featured the hosting debut of Robert Palmer along with contributions from me, Dave Caolo and Mike Rose (and some Skype drop-off moments) over the course of the hour. Download the show directly or from Talkshoe, or pick it up on iTunes.

Join us again tonight for host Mike Schramm and panelists Robert P. and yours truly as we cover the week's top stories -- and we might even find time for some trivia and giveaways! We'll also be talking back-to-school with our picks for hardware and software for students.

Be so kind, one and all, as to join us tonight at 10 p.m. Eastern time (7 p.m. Pacific), when I have the privelege of joining Christina Warren, Michael Rose, Steven Sande, and hundreds more of our closest friends for our happy-yet-disorderly discussion about the week's most interesting events in the Mac universe.

If all goes to plan, we'll be talking about the new iPhone 2.0.1 firmware, the rise and fall of I Am Rich, the App Store's apparent schizophrenia when it comes to adding new apps, Microsoft Silverlight, and the surprisingly pretty awesome start to the Olympics. And to top it all off, Woz got married! How 'bout that?

If you haven't listened to last week's (excellent, if I do say so myself) first-anniversary talkcast, feel absolutely free to download it straight from Talkshoe, or subscribe to the TalkShoe feed in iTunes.

For instructions on how to listen, follow me across the jump.

If you haven't tuned in yet for last week's talkcast, go check it out -- it features Scott's farewell announcement and our cranky assessment of MobileMe's first weeks. Download direct, or subscribe to the TalkShoe feed in iTunes.

Join us again tonight (Sunday 8/3) for our next live show, 10 pm ET as usual. Since this is the first anniversary of our little podcasting experiment (the kickoff show was back on 8/2/2007), we'll be looking back at the past year of Apple news and casting our Predict-O-Matics forward into the fall. We'll also be digging into the Ghost of Trivia Past bag for some trivia giveaways, all quite vintage (Mac OS 9 games! A broken iPod Mini! A copy of iMovie 3 Solutions by Erica Sadun, which we can probably get autographed for you! A pile of Zip disks -- with a drive!) but delivered with love.
