Join us for a live Maccast Skype chat starting at around 7:30 AM PT. We’ll have the conversation going until the end of Apple’s live iPhone 4 press event which starts today (07/16) at 10:00 AM PT. We are using Skype, so if you have Skype already installed, use the link below to join If you don’t have Skype you can download it and use it for free at Skype.com. The Skype room limit is 150, so it will still be first come first served. See you there.

Live blog links we’ll be following:

Windows Users: Looks like Skype removed the group chat feature as of version 4.0, so you’ll have to be on a Mac for this to work. Sorry.

They are also designed to launch iTunes whether you want them to or not. In this show I have tips on how to control this behaviour in your favorite browser.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 308. Based on the success of last month’s “no agenda” cast I re-dubbed the format the “uncast” to bring you it’s second installment. For part duex I brought over a couple of friends from the KnowTech podcast. John Foster, Kenji Kato, and I sat down to chat about all things Mac. No prep, no outlines, no show notes just pure unbridled Mac geekiness. We uncast the structured format and see what hits the feed. Enjoy.
