Episode description

Moltz has a red light on his Drobo (drobo.com). But it's gonna be OK. Then we discuss the rumors about a 12-inch MacBook Air. http://www.slashgear.com/macbook-air-2015s-killer-feature-may-be-a-lack-of-click-22360353/ Rumors often don't pan out, like the one about them removing the headphone jack on iPhones. http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/06/06/lightning-enabled-headphones-could-let-apple-ditch-the-headphone-jack-on-future-iphones Then the podcast ends forever when Dan says he keeps trackpad tapping on on his MacBook Air. So long, been nice podcasting for you. OK, back to headphones, Moltz has these Bose jobbies — http://www.amazon.com/Bose-MIE2-Mobile-Headset-Black/dp/B007WQ9LSC/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&srs=2529061011&ie=UTF8&qid=1420181104&sr=1-1&keywords=bose+headphones — which, eh, are OK. Dan has Koss PortaPros: http://www.amazon.com/Koss-PortaPro-Headphones-with-Case/dp/B00001P4ZH Lex has Sony MDRV6s: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDRV6-Studio-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B00001WRSJ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1420182061&sr=8-2&keywords=sony+mdr If you're having trouble hearing from your MacBook's speakers, you can use Boom and, well, maybe blow your speakers out. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/boom/id415312377?mt=12 Seems like you could get some completely acceptable podcasting equipment for certainly no more than $200. A Yeti isn't the best microphone in the world but it's fine. Hindenberg Journalist is about $100. For $100 more you can get Logic Pro. Yeti: http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Microphones-Yeti-USB-Microphone/dp/B002VA464S/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1420182267&sr=1-1&keywords=yeti+microphone Hindenberg: http://hindenburg.com/products/hindenburg-journalist/ Logic Pro: https://www.apple.com/logic-pro/ For video, if iMovie drives you berserk, you could actually edit video in Screenflow. http://www.telestream.net/screenflow/overview.htm Finally, Lex tells the story of the PowerBook 540c that got away. By being stolen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerBook_500_series
