Reminder, TUAW talkcast Sunday at 10 pm ET
Filed under: TUAW Business, Podcasts
We fought the good fight last week, but the unstable combination of the new TalkShoe Java app and Skype did us in during the talkcast, resulting in an unpublishable recording (a shame, Mike Schramm and Christina were on and we had a good show once the fires were out -- those that stuck with us seemed to like it). To make up for it, we did a bloggers-only podcast during the week, listed as Talkcast #26; you can download it directly from Talkshoe (or stream it from the player below), or subscribe to the RSS or iTunes feeds. As noted before, we're leaving the regular iTunes feed idle until we can sort out the issues for Mail.app users reading the main feed.

We'll be back on the intertubes live on Sunday night at 10 pm ET for a listener-questions call. Bring your Mac stumpers and we'll do the best we can to answer them live, or promise to check them out after the show, or clear our throats and pretend to know the answers.

TUAW Tip: hiding Keynote presentations
Filed under: iWork, TUAW Tips

If you give many presentations on the Mac, chances are you're using Apple's Keynote presentation software. One cool feature in Keynote is the ability to demo something on your Mac without giving away your next slide or notes. When you're in the middle of a presentation, just hit the "h" key on your keyboard. This will hide the entire Keynote application and show your desktop.

When you press the h key, the Keynote icon in the dock will change and include a play button. When you want to resume your presentation, just click the Keynote icon in the dock.

Cocktail Tiger edition goes to 4.0.1, Leopard edition 4.0.2
Filed under: Software, Internet Tools, UNIX / BSD, Leopard
Just in case you haven't yet upgraded to Leopard, but still love using Cocktail (that crazy mix of Unix functions for OS X), Maintain has released version 4.0.1 of their Tiger edition. They've fixed some compatibility problems with QuickTime, and added support for clearing font caches in Microsoft Office 2008. The update is now available from their website, and is, they say, "strongly recommended" for all Cocktail (Tiger edition) users.

Cocktail's Leopard edition is at version 4.0.2-- that update fixed these same problems last week, as well as fixing a network optimization bug for DSL (PPPoE) users.

Show floor video: BusySync
Filed under: Macworld, Software

BusyMac had a good thing going with BusySync 1 and 1.5: seamlessly share and edit calendar info across your home or business LAN using iCal. Version 2 (due next month) features sync via the cloud-- so you can sync a work and home computer, even if you don't work at home. There's also Google Calendar support in BusySync 2, which could be the holy grail many of us have been looking for. Mike does a quick run through in the video.

Rumor: NBC and iTunes to make up, make money
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, iTS, Rumors, Video, iTunes, Apple
We heard it from a guy (thanks, Jeff K!) who heard it from another guy who basically speculated from comments made by two other guys that, surprise surprise, NBC and iTunes are on the road to reconciliation. Ok, so it isn't really a surprise-- the odds are really good that as long as there is NBC and iTunes, they'll eventually end up together. There's been some posturing in their past, but really, both have way more to gain together than apart.

Not to mention that the NBC Direct service never quite panned out correctly. Of course, neither NBC nor iTunes is clearly hurting for one another. But there's so much benefit for both to make a deal that it's not hard to expect them back together by the time new Office episodes get back on the air.

Go forth and WebClip, for TUAW is ready
Filed under: TUAW Business, WIN Business

We've mentioned WebClips before. Repeatedly. Just like you all have in the tip emails recently. But fear not, as we've been busy working behind the scenes with our server elves (Scott's term) to get our WebClip icon out in the wild. After a little tweaking, the TUAW site is now WebClipped and ready for your enjoyment on-the-go! Thanks for all your patience -- and emails ~~pleading~~ asking for the icon. We're glad to be finally able to let it out of the bag for your use.

MacBU promises Office 2008 fix
Filed under: Software
Software is a cruel mistress, and no one knows that better than the fine folks at Microsoft's Mac BU. They work hard to bring us the best Mac software they can, and yet there are some in the Mac community that won't cut them a break just because they work for Microsoft.

That's why I feel for them, given the flaw that has been found in the Office 2008 for Mac installer. It would seem that the Office installer incorrectly sets some permissions on files, allowing a second local user on your Mac, i.e. a user other than the admin user installing the software, to modify the Office apps and some supporting libraries. This, of course, is not a good thing but the Mac BU has posted instructions on their blog to fix this via some Terminal commands. They also promise that an update to Office will be coming along shortly which will fix the problem for those of users who aren't comfortable in the Terminal.

A great response to an unfortunate mistake, but something tells me TUAW commenters will not be kind to our friends at the Mac BU.
