A longer show than normal (normal being a relative term with the GMen) but filled with great stuff! We totally botch telling someone how to do a Nuke and Pave and can't find a Spanish Dictation program to save our life. We LOVE the Mac App Store but have a very odd way of showing it, and talk about how the Verizon iPhone may be a big deal in the US, but it's a been there and done that most other places. The Macworld Expo is coming SOON and Tim and Guy will be on the Main Stage at 12 on Saturday ...

We had to start twice this time as Tim Robertson called with great news! The MyMac and TechFan Podcasts will be teaming up at the 2011 Macworld Expo on the Main Stage on Saturday January 26th and 12 noon! Andreas Zeitt from the Screencasts Online site joins us to talk about screencasts and how he does them. Guy erases the hard drive in his MacBook Pro and hopes he can get it all together before leaving for the Macworld Expo.

For a show that didn't seem to have a major theme, it sure is a long one. Gaz and Guy talk about the upcoming Macworld Expo, some Christmas stuff, and our feverish anticipation for the Mac App Store. Guy…I mean Santa…buys an AppleTV finally and Guy joins the 21st century and gets NetFlix. Guy offers a prize (as yet undisclosed) for listeners to record promos for any MyMac.com Podcast…US only please. The GMen talk about Mac Software Bundles and whether or not they're really any bargain.

Allison Sheridan from the NosillaCast Podcst at Podfeet.com joins the GMen for a ROCKING Christmas show! We talk a bit about how she does her podcast and mention cute furry rodents a lot (SQUIRREL!). Turns out Gaz has never seen Pixar's "Up!" but we love him anyway. The GMen do a Quick Review of Elevate Entertainment's Zombie Ala Mode for iOS and somehow manage to keep the show under one hour.
Dec 23, 2010•58 min
Gaz isn't feeling well but soldered on for the show. David Cohen from TechFan gives us some grief for our opinions on eMagazines from last week. We do our Christmas pics for Apple user in your family (maybe that's you!), and we wonder just what Apple is going to do with all that new space in Cupertino?
Dec 16, 2010•53 min
A great interview with IDG's Paul Kent about what's going on with MacWorld 2011. Also, the GMen finally get the answer the whole world has been waiting for! How DO you pronounce Elisa Pacelli's name? We're threatened with a Cease and Desist over our name…or ARE we? Throw in some teenaged angst and adult angst over the Mac App Store (I'm sure there's a difference somewhere) and you've got a longer than normal show.
Dec 10, 2010•1 hr 25 min
Gaz couldn't make it this week so Scott Willsey and Owen Rubin fellow writers at MyMac.com step up to the plate! We talk in circles around new content at MyMac.com while still managing to completely avoid whatever the story was actually about (but it works so go with it!). We talk about some of the options for remote desktop software and give some applications a quick review!
Dec 01, 2010•1 hr 20 min
Guy and Gaz talk about why in this day of digital downloads, there still needs to be CD insertion based copy protection. Apple's new iOS 4.2 gets a stern talking to and how piracy affects the cost of the software you buy and how you use it.
Nov 29, 2010•1 hr 18 min
A long and winding show across the universe of Mac Topics. John Blagden joins the G-Men and gives us quite a lesson on what Mac Pros want from their hardware, ESPECIALLY the now-canceled XServe. Gaz seeks and finds some help for his MacBook and Guy has grown to hate his current iMac for NOT running GarageBand properly. The Beatles are now on iTunes and after all this time, how big a deal is it really?
Nov 17, 2010•1 hr 15 min
Tim Robertson from TechFan jumps on the show, but Skype and GarageBand are just not our best friends tonight. We have a couple of audio clips from Allison Sheridon from the Nosilla Podcast and Steve Hammond. We talk about digital content and how DRM only seems to hurt the ones that get it legally and is iOS 4.2 just around the corner?
Nov 11, 2010•1 hr 11 min
Guy starts off the show by himself and offers some help to someone looking for a way to transfer all his old data to a new drive and Sesame Street jumps on the App Wagon. Fortunately for everyone, Gaz finds his way on and the G-Men talk about some of the upcoming Android Tablet competition. iPad owners get angry at the flip of a switch and is there ACTUALLY a virus in the wild for OS X?
Nov 05, 2010•1 hr 7 min
David Cohen has lust for 11-inches. That, plus Apple, Microsoft, old technology, and the Nook are subjects Tim Robertson and David discuss this week on the TechFan Podcast
Oct 29, 2010•57 min
Bill Paterson from Toronto joins Gaz and Guy as a listener invite to talk about his experiences with the Mac and other Apple tech (and the joys of not owning a car!). John Nemo asks the GMen if this is this a good time to buy a MacBook Pro and some first impressions of iLife 11.
Oct 27, 2010•1 hr 3 min
A jam packed extra-long (but not too long) show with listener feedback from Twitter and Tim Robertson questioning why we were so down on RealMac software for their subscription RapidWeaver videos. Sam Levin leaves little to question about just how awesome Guy Serle is. We go over Apple financials and talk a great deal about what Apple JUST released!
Oct 21, 2010•1 hr 13 min
We get some very nice feedback from Twitter and a Skype call from a Mystery caller about iWeb. Is iLife 11 coming out soon? Amazon's German site seems to think so. Guy and Gaz spend some time talking about what they'd like to see in the next version just in time for GarageBand to crash. Also, Walmart and Target will soon be selling iPads. Who in Apple thought THAT was a good idea?
Oct 15, 2010•1 hr 4 min
Guy is back from being ill but it doesn't seem to make things easier for Gaz. It starts off a little rough (but Guy doesn't edit it out because it's funny) and gets crazy from there. Gaz thinks he may still need an AppleTV and Guy builds a RAID 1 for his iTunes content. Are Netbooks getting killed by the iPad or are they victims of their own crappiness? Android tablets are on the way (eventually), but should Apple be concerned? Would you be interested in a smartphone app that helps you through a...

It’s lonely over here! Gaz finds himself with no one to play with, but whats this? The listeners save the day with two, yes read it, TWO Skype callers, and a review on the new iPod Nano from listener Jeremy North (Thanks Jeremy!). Gaz responds to one of the Skype callers who asks a question about converting vCards into a txt or flat file format, Gaz has some brief thoughts about the copycats coming in with their iPad clones. Gaz forgets to mention the discount from Ambrosia (http://www.ambrosias...

TechFan returns with two guests: Sam Levin talks AppMinute, buying a new Mac, and more. J.R. Bookwalter then joins as the interviewee, and we find out how he got his start at MacLife, the iPhone, writing, directing, producing, and much more.

Guy and Gaz give you the lowdown on what they use to create the MyMac.com podcast and in the second segment we have a discussion with John Champlin from Ambrosia Software (http://www.ambrosiasw.com). We have a LOT of feedback (Thanks guys!) from Twitter and (OMG!) an actual real Skype telephone message. WOWSERS! In the third part we talk about Gaz's new Mac Mini he's going to use as a media server and how Mrs. GazMaz just wants it easy. Want to grab some Ambrosia Software goodness for a great pr...

Gaz and Guy welcome Tim back‚again, to the MyMac.com podcast where he regales us with some pretty exciting news. He's taking a top spot with MacSpecialist in Chicago AND starting a new Podcast to be called TechFan. We go over the iOS possibly replacing OS X (and we don't agree), some more about the iPod Nano, a discussion on FTP and what may replace that too. We (well mostly Gaz and Tim) do some comparisons between the new AppleTV and the Mac Mini while Gaz replaces a drive in an Apple Time Caps...

Gaz orders and then cancels a new iPod Touch because he loves animals more than technology. Guy runs Ethernet cable which messes up the house (and doesn't please his wife) and we have a Listener Invite this week with Roman Woznik of the MacCoreTV Podcast. We have a bit of a gab about if Apple should actually reign IN some of the less well thought out apps in iTunes for iOS as it passes over 250 thousand available. Also some talk if Apple is holding the iPod Touch back to make the iPhone look eve...
Sep 09, 2010•55 min
Guy's the REAL old timer, while Gaz gently guides him through the 21st century with new technology. We have Neil Worton as a Listener invite as we go over all the big announcements for the September 1st Apple event. New iPods, iOS updates, iTunes 10, and a twist on an old hobby made for a pretty exciting presentation! Neil and Guy tried watching it on their iPads while out and about, but apparently 3G connectivity isn't the best solution for a video streaming event‚ who knew?
Sep 02, 2010•1 hr 10 min
Gaz's problems continue with his much maligned Mac Mini and we also talk about security on OS X and how, if you try REALLY hard and go out of your way to do something dumb, you can get malware on your Mac. Speaking of which, we give you a bunch of different ways to use Windows on your Mac. Call our Skype number (703-436-9501) CALL our Skype number (703-436-9501) CALL OUR SKYPE NUMBER (703-436-9501). Also come on as a listener invite! We don't bite (much).

Gaz is back from a work and holiday break from the podcast and got to see the Royal Air Force Red Arrows acrobatic flying team. Guy obviously confuses the US Navy Blue Angels and the US Air Force Thunderbirds and he's really, really sorry about that. They gab a bit about the iPad on the road, the Magic TrackPad, and Gaz's problems with his Mac Mini. We go on as well about iPhones and Verizon. We FINALLY get to the 2nd part of the Gaz and David Cohen interview (because we both like David so there...

Aug 10, 2010•1 hr 5 min
Greg Holdsworth from Greg's Graphics and Your Own Victory Garden comes on to guest host this week and we have a lot of topics!Are Android phones TOO big for their primary use as a phone? The iPad has some competition, but you'll need to go to KMart to find it. What's missing from Apple in the Mac Universe? Finally, is Apple just not paying too much attention to OS X these days? C'mon Apple‚show a little love!
Aug 05, 2010•50 min
