Talkcast tonight, 4 HST/7 PST/10 EST: Pre-Macworld Edition
Tonight's show will mostly be filled with talk of Macworld, which takes place this week. There are quite a few TUAW bloggers going, and if you have any tips for us on how to survive the week or even just some cool San Francisco suggestions, I would love to hear them! We also have a bit of Apple news to talk about, from the earnings call to the new kid on the block. And remember: Kelly hosting equals aftershow!

Your calls and questions help us make the show the best it can be, otherwise I'm just talking to myself! To participate on TalkShoe, you can use the browser-only client, the embedded Facebook app, or download 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 4 HST/7 PST/10 PM EST Sunday. To call in on regular phone or VoIP lines (yay for free cellphone weekend minutes!): dial (724) 444-7444 and enter our talkcast ID, 45077 -- during the call, you can request to talk by keying in *8.

If you've got a headset or microphone handy on your Mac, you can connect via the free Gizmo or X-Lite SIP clients; basic instructions are here. Talk to you tonight!

Splashtop Remote for Mac and iOS: An unbeatable combo

I've tried just about every remote control application under the sun. iTeleport, LogMeIn Ignition, Mocha VNC, and Team Viewer have all been on my iOS devices at one time or another. When I recently heard about Splashtop Remote, my initial thought was to delete the email about it and move on. Fortunately, my curiosity got the best of me.

Like most remote control apps, Splashtop comes in two pieces -- the free Splashtop Remote Server part that runs on the target computer (either Mac or Windows), and a client app for iOS. The Mac server is still in beta, while the Windows piece has been in place for a while. The iOS apps run $1.99 each for the iPhone and iPad versions, and there is a free time-limited (5 minutes per connect session) version for iPad that is useful for just trying out the app. That's probably my biggest complaint right now -- many of the other remote control apps are available in Universal versions that run on any iOS device.

Why am I so smitten with Splashtop Remote? Perhaps my biggest criteria for apps of this type are ease of setup, speed, and a way of controlling the Mac or PC that makes the best use of the iOS touch interface. Setup is dead simple on both the desktop and mobile devices, although the Mac installation does require an installation of Soundflower. Since I already use Soundflower, I was able to skip that step. Launching the mobile app displays the computers that are running the server on the local network. A tap on the computer name launches the connection.

New Apple iPhone ad brings AT&T and Verizon together

Love, peace, and harmony. That's what Apple seems to be pushing in the latest iPhone advertisement to hit the airwaves.

The ad, titled "Two is Better than One," shows a pair iPhones performing side-by-side synchronized app usage. The action is backed by that beautiful piece of waltz music used to good effect by ice skaters and Stanley Kubrick, Johann Strauss's "On the Beautiful Blue Danube."

At the end of the 30-second piece, AT&T and Verizon logos are seen side-by-side. Considering the level of sniping being done by the two carriers, it's nice to see Apple stepping in as a mediator. For U.S. smartphone users, it's great to finally have a choice.

Check out the ad, which was captured off of a TV screen by YouTube user DoctoriTouch, on the next page.

USA Today updates and improves iPad app
There are plenty of news apps for the iPad, but I'm happy to see USA Today aggressively improving what was already a useful and easy to use app.

Version 2.0 is still free, and has added more extensive tech coverage. Tech reviews feature iPad apps, and there is a video player, along with a spiffy This Week in Space section. The app also has increased travel coverage, along with a map that displays airport delays.

The app now multitasks in iOS 4.2 and the developers seem to have squashed a nasty crash on start up many people were seeing.

With more and more news apps like the the New York Times and the Washington Post getting ready to slip behind a pay wall, it's nice to see USA Today maintain this app as a free service.

David Rice heading to Apple as global security lead
Apple has hired David Rice, executive director of the Monterey Group and faculty member with IANS, as its global director of security. It's the latest in a series of high-profile security hires for the company. Former Mozilla security chief Window Snyder was hired as a senior security product manger in March.

Mr. Rice may be familiar to some readers as the author of "Geekonomics," a book about "the astonishing lack of consumer protection in the software market and how this impacts economic and national security." Rice suggests that software is infrastructure, and the risk of a poor security in consumer and business software is, in fact, a security risk to all of us.

Rice goes on to suggest that taxes may be required to spread the cost of reducing risk and that weak security in the tech sector is a matter of public policy, not just of private enterprise building unsafe systems. An analogy is made to the auto industry in the 50s and 60s, where style trumped safety. It will be interesting to see how Mr. Rice's employment at Apple bolsters their security profile going forward with the rise of iOS devices in enterprise and government.
