On this starting to be regular Tuesday installment, Ken and Clayton Morris kick around the Mac-Tablet-Netbook-Thingy rumor. What will it be? How will we use it? And when will it arrive? All of this assumes that there is truth to any of the rumors. If there's not, well, play it back for us in a few months and show us what fools we've been.

This week we're joined by Victor Cajaio of 'The Typical Mac User' and Adam Christianson of "The MacCast' to discuss Apple's third-quarter earnings and a call to either write your congressional representative or start a revolution when there's something you don't like about your wireless service. Three brave amigos are we on episode 83 of Mac OS Ken: Day 6!

Everybody must get fast and furious and snacks.

This week we talk with Peter Cohen – Senior Editor for Macworld and a founding Angry Mac Bastard – about some weird news of the week. Topics to include: Apple and handhelds – dominance does not a monopoly make, killing Pre syncing with iTunes 8.2.1, the Mr. Softy Store, D45s, and the changing nature of Rob Enderle. Plus: Why do spammers spam? Because it works. Why do I spam? Because it’s fun! This is Mac OS Ken: Day 6 No. 82!

Consider this not so much an episode, but rather as part of a constant conversation. Today's participants happen to be Ken Ray and Clayton Morris of "Gadgets and Games," but who knows who will turn up next and when? If you've got feedback, please feel free to send it to day6@macosken.com. And as always, you rock.

This week I am stoked to bring you a conversation with Ross Rubin, Director of Industry Analysis for The NPD Group. Topics include a look at the potential Department of Justice probe into carrier/handset exclusivity, sniping between Microsoft and Apple, why browser makers make browsers, and Apple in the value space. Plus, a rambling look at the changing nature of this show. Hugs all around! This is Mac OS Ken: Day 6 No. 81!

This week we’re joined by Michael Johnston, Executive Editor of iPhone Alley, to talk about the trouble with tribbles. Then, at the last second, we decided to talk iPhone news instead. Topics include: Selling point for the 3GS, prospects for the $99 iPhone 3G, and user generated content in apps in the face of the BeautyMeter fiasco.
