TUAW Talkcast 2014-06-22: Summer solstice edition!

<p>The days have gotten just about as long as they can get here in Ye Olde Northern Hemisphere, as we marked the official beginning of astronomical summer (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/news/meteorological-versus-astronomical-summer%E2%80%94what%E2%80%99s-difference) yesterday on June 21.</p>

<p>We're enjoying the lingering twilight, the thrill of a 2-2 heartbreaking World Cup tie (http://huff.to/1j2RdEN) between the USA and Portugal, and the debut of Apple's newest and cheapest all-in-one iMac (http://www.tuaw.com/2014/06/18/apple-adds-affordable-1099-model-to-its-imac-lineup/). Should you buy into the $1099 slow-but-slender iMac (http://www.macworld.com/article/2366147/lab-tested-new-21-inch-1-4ghz-core-i5-imac-benchmarks.html), or keep your powder dry for something with a bit more horsepower? We'll ponder it all tonight -- live on the Talkcast.</p>

<p>Reminder on new-style talkcasting: With some help from the fine folks at Fuze (https://www.fuzebox.com/products/fuzemeeting), we're using the Fuze Meeting system to record the show. This should let everyone listen in live -- and, if you want, raise your hand as you would in the Talkshoe room to get unmuted and chime in.</p>

<p>You can join the call in progress (meeting # is <strong>20099010</strong>) at 10 pm ET from any computer via this link (http://fuze.me/20099010); if you download the Mac or Windows Fuze clients (http://www.fuzebox.com/products/download) ahead of time, you'll get better audio and a slicker experience, but browser-only will work fine. Just click the phone icon to join the audio once you're in.</p>

<p>Using an iPhone or iPad? Grab the native clients from the App Store (https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/fuzebox-software-corporation/id290206249) and get busy. (Even Android users can join the party (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fuzebox.fuze.android&amp;hl=en).) Still feel like using the conventional phone dial-in? Just call <a href="tel:201-479-4595">201-479-4595[/url] and enter the meeting number 20099010, then press #.</p>

<p>While the Fuze web and native clients have a chat channel, we'd like to reserve that for host participants, requests to talk and other real-time alerts... so the full-on chat for the show is already in this post, and we'll be popping in right at 10 pm tonight. You'll need Twitter, Facebook or Chatroll (http://chatroll.com/signup?groupId=IvHQfNfuQ3N) credentials to participate in the chat. We'll remind everyone to check back in at that time.</p><p style="padding:5px;clear:both;">TUAW Talkcast 2014-06-22: Summer solstice edition!
