You got to admit it's eating better, a little better all the time (it can't get no worse)! Yep, slowly but surely we're sorting it out and eventually we'll really have something…that sounded like it did before it got all screwed up. This week along with our usual nonsense, Gaz and Guy talk about the expectation of privacy on the internet and especially from some of the various social networks.
AAAAND our audio issues continue. This time it's an odd crackle coming from Gaz. Sigh, still a work in progress folks. This week we have a discussion about why what happened to Apple in the 90's won't happen again no matter how many parallel's to it the press likes to talk about.
Gaz is REALLY cheesed off at O2 and Guy finally, maybe, just perhaps has Audio Hijack Pro, Skype, GarageBand, and SoundBoard set up so that it will all work correctly without a single problem! Sheyeah right. Big discussion about Google's Pixel laptop…err..net device…wait…touch screen…oh whatever it is, the GMen talk about it. Also Mrs. Nemo OBVIOUSLY rules the tech roost in their household. Apparently also Microsoft can't even get people to steal their products. Good thing I guess since that mea...
Guy and Gaz are finally back together to record a podcast after a few weeks and shake some of the rust off. Guy HATES the way he sounds and this caused a delay since his fix actually made it worse (surprise). Then the GMen talk (and disagree) on where Apple's future is going and whether or not the Mac will still be there to see it.
Macworld is over and Guy is finally home from all his weary travels. Gaz couldn't make it due to family obligations so original host Tim Robertson now on Tech Fan jumps in to keep Guy from sounding weird…or is that even possible? Tim's views on the future of the Macworld Expo, and just plain craziness fill out the rest of the show.
So the Macworld Expo ends for another year. Guy couldn't find Julie Kuehl to podcast with so he did a short solo show in the press room. While we wish the fun times could go on forever, we're all too tired to go another day.
It's the end of day 2 at the Macworld Expo and Elisa, Guy, Julie, Vicki get together to talk about the events of the day. Owen Rubin also shows up so Guy doesn't feel so overwhelmed by all the ladies. Big thanks to Blue Microphone for lending Guy the Blue Mikey microphone so that we didn't have to swing one all over the place.
Elisa, Guy, Julie, and Vicky get together at the end of the day. Tired and sore, but sitting down to talk about their experiences at Macworld 2013. It's been an interesting show so far. Ashton Kutcher does an exclusive interview (no he doesn't) to talk about his feelings (as if) about life, acting, and his love for the MyMac website (PLEASE don't really believe this is true). Lots of vendor interviews from the floor but the real gem in this podcast is Ashton (someone please check Guy's medicatio...
So no Guy as he’s still travelling to California, but wait is that James from woodpad.co.uk on the other end of line?
Is everyone sick of all the pre-Macworld Expo talk? OK, I have to admit that I'm not, but we decided it was time to talk about something else. And who better to go to that something else than Guy's brother Larry Grinnell! He knows ALL the GMen's buzzwords and phases and as it turns out is actually smarter than Guy (like that's some big accomplishment).
Probably our longest show EVER, but it was all worth it as we had an extended conversation with Dave Hamilton from the Mac Geek Gab Podcast and BackBeat Media about Macworld, podcasting, how to sound good (like he does) and not so-so (like the GMen). Also some talk about how you should NEVER, EVER say bad words (but we sometimes do anyway). James Turner and Fitz John Baptiste has questions for the GMen and so can you over at our G+ MyMac Podcast page.
Paul Kent from IDG comes on o talk all about the Macworld - iWorld Expo for 2013 and Guy geeks out. As it stands right now, Guy may be the only MyMac male member this year, but Elisa Pacelli, Vicky Stokes, and Julie Kuehl (Cool) will undoubtably keep him in line. Gaz and Guy answer a serious storage question (no really!) and Apple doesn't want to be undisturbed until after January 7th.
Guy loses his Adobe Stuff but doesn't seem all that fussed about it and Gaz has his Eye on his TV (wink wink). The GMen go over some weird tech news for 2012 And both at some point or another believe themselves to be Batman. You wouldn't think this would take too long, but it actually is one of the longest shows they've done this year.
Simple show concept this week. We talk about Christmas stuff, some G+ Community questions, then off to your Bumpers (brilliant they are too), and finally ending the show with a thank you to all the wonderful people that not only listen to the podcast, but contribute to MyMac.com in general. Merry Christmas to you all!
The GMen are just blown away by how quickly the community has taken a liking to…well…Google Plus Communities and the MyMac Podcast one has been very active. SO active that a good chunk of our show talking about Apple's iWork came right out of it. Not because we're lazy…OK, we were lazy, but it's really great stuff!
Well the news is out. Apple will be assembling an entire Mac line here in the US. Wonderful news and all that, but why does it ring somewhat hollow? The MyMac Podcast has a new way to talk to the GMen. It's our Google+ Community page! WOO! Now you can…do all the stuff like before…just in yet another place. Yeah, that's a win.
SPORTS! Well we did talk about sports, but then ventured off into Mac stuff. Who would have guessed? We kinda love the new iTunes, but we REALLY love your questions and feedback! This week Chuck asks the GMen about a good backup strategy for all the Macs in his life, a winner from our 400th Podcast finally checks his email (and Plasq software came through for him…thanks guys!), and FaceBook still makes poor Guy crazy. All this and more on the MyMac.com Podcast!
So you ask a question on Twitter and FaceBook and what happens? LOTS of listener feedback! Is Apple doing things a little bit different (as in changed from what they themselves were doing before) or is it a product of the GMen's imagination? Apparently not based on your responses. iTunes, and iMacs, and fuzzy kittens gets discussed. Well not fuzzy kittens. Maybe next week.
Extra long show this week because Gaz and Guy had lots of important things to say…actually we just wouldn't shut up. There were big doings though as Guy finally replaces his old worn out Mac Pro for a newer worn out Mac Pro but one that will run Mountain Lion and Gaz also upgrades his Macs to the new King of the Jungle. They take you through the steps they used and some of the pitfalls they discovered.
Apple gives to Hurricane Sandy relief maybe not until it hurts, but generously. On the home front, Guy might not go to the Macworld Expo and is unable to find his Time Machine. Gaz's Finder issues may have been solved by NOT turning off his Mac Mini. Guy's hatred of analysts persists with every stupid they say, Samsung sells more Galaxy SIII's than Apple sells iPhone 4S's in a single quarter, and Foxconn may build a plant in the US…sheyeah right!
Gaz and Guy are back just in tie for…something. Neither storms, poor iOS map directions, nor giant rocks could keep them away. They talk about OTHER people's 7-inch tablets, Apple management shake-up, and why iTunes is a tad late.
While the GMen are off NOT doing the 3 Geeky Ladies podcast, Timothy Gregoire from the ChurchTech Geeks podcast was brave enough to fill the gap. He and special guest Ryan Wells talk about special security set-ups for the Church Tim attends. They then have a discussion of all the Apple gear just released.
A VERY short break as Gaz and Guy just recorded last Tuesday and frankly, not much has changed in four days. That doesn't mean they can't come up with an hour of content. The quality of which MAY be questionable, but they had a good time doing it. Gaz gavel Macnatico some information on his home theater setup and they both talk about next week's GREAT PODCAST SWITCHEROO! We would tell you who we're subbing for but then you might not listen to the show this week.
Both Gaz and Guy are back and so it's back to normality! Or at least as normal as the GMen can manage. Guy's son breaks his phone so he has to get him a new one. I wonder what kind he bought? Gaz's Mac Mini seems to find a new way to hate him each week. This time by letting him log on…but just for a second or two. Another Apple event is almost upon us and they talk about what they think might be coming up. Guy's wish for a two bay Mac Mini I'm SURE is going to happen! Guy also needed help from G...
Gaz gives a great explanation of gonal numbers at the beginning of the show and he lost me just after the math started….which means nearly right away. James Turner from http://www.woodpad.co.uk is on to keep Gaz from mathing out which is a good thing. There's lot's of listener feedback, finally some answers on why our FaceBook numbers went down, and fear of ducks watching you makes a comeback! Woo! Spotlight is in the…um…spotlight with a questionn from Scott and just because Guy isn't around doe...
I would love to say something clever about the title, but the truth is we just couldn't think of a better one. Guy is on the mend and Gaz wanted to update to Mountie (really he did…HONEST!), but time just kept slipping away. Guy's going to Chicago next week so come on out to the new Mac Specialist store in Oak Park, Illinois if only to heckle him. Also the GMen talk about all this hullaballoo over disappointing iPhones sales and the new Maps App.
Guy is sick but doesn't use that as an excuse as to why the podcast last week was so weird sounding. If you listen closely, you can actually hear Guy's will to live leave him. Gaz keeps his ticker going with plist and daemon answers as well as a great tip! The GMen then go into their favorite and not so favorite features of iOS 6. Remember to use #livinginthenow in your next tweet because Guy thinks it's funny.
Gaz goes to the enemy camp but for a good reason while Guy tries (ye again) to figure out why Skype recording sucks and how to make it better (you can't apparently). Then they talk about the new things released by Apple (you may have heard something about it) and why some people seem to have a Lightning bug up their neithers.
It's Guy's birthday and he'll podcast if he wants to, but Skype seems to think it's a bad idea. Yep another Skype sucks and we hate it kind of show. We still had fun though making fun of Microsoft and wondering just how long has it been since most of the Mac line had been updated. Gaz gives a great tip and to the surprise of no one Guy hadn't heard of it before. Most be his old age kicking in.
Guy Jr gets cool stuff for his birthday and Big Guy doesn't. He's hoping that someone rich, drunk, or crazy (or some combination) will get him that Mac Pro or high end 27-inch iMac that's on his Amazon Wishlist (http://amzn.com/w/3736SPSFP62BA). But he's not holding his breath. Gaz WAS holding his breath and fortunately he stopped so we could do the show. His external drive is too small because Apple gave him a 750GB instead of a 500GB in the Mac mini he ordered some time ago, so it's APPLE'S fa...
