MyMac.com Podcast

Most updates from Apple go pretty smoothly, some do not. While the updates themselves weren’t an issue for the GMen, Some of the changes in iOS 11 were a little painful. They talk about that and other updates and why you should say “Pawn Shop” very carefully.

Following what is seemingly the never ending stream of guest hosts, Gaz is away and Guy asks Melissa (the MacMommy) Davis to join in on what became one of the most stream of consciousness MyMac Podcasts ever. They talk about the new Apple stuff eventually.

All kidding aside, please take a moment to give generously to the charity of your choice to help some of those in need after the recent weather related problems. Speaking of weather related problems, Guy’s brother Larry escapes from South Florida to th wilds of Northern Virginia and joins the GMen on the podcast. Equifax takes a grilling, Apple’s TV programing (or lack thereof gets smacked around, and Apple’s UK Music Festival gets tossed into the dumpster. Just FULL of good news aren’t we?

So Guy FINALLY gets off the road and behind the mic to do a MyMac Podcast. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, some still think this is a good thing. Guy talks about his various goings on and Gaz talks and becoming a decorator! Then more talk about Apple events and whether or not someone will buy stuff. Hint: they probably will

Again Yes again Guy is away but this time helping his Son Move (well that’s what I think he said! Karl Madden from the Mac and Fourth podcast and Alex Fox joins Gaz to go through the usual MyMac nonsense. The first section has a plethora of MyMac.com articles and the 2nd they have a discussion about the iPad.

This Week Guy is away watching some Sun event or non sun event I don’t know, anyway Karl Madden from the Mac and Fourth podcast joins Gaz to go through the usual MyMac nonsense.

For one week anyway, Guy and Gaz manage to record a podcast. Guy has had two teeth removed by an actual dentist and not by someone he managed to get mad at him and Gaz is really busy doing work and home stuff. Also his purple line issue is resolved. Why won’t Apple join the Advanced Mobile Location platform, Amazon want to make food that doesn’t spoil, and the iPad’s Smart Connector doesn’t seem to connect to all that much.

Second half of the interview with Mike Potter from the For Mac Eyes Only podcast talking about Macstock 2017. We have ALL kinds of minor delay issues which is so annoying, but they don’t let it stop the show…except…when they stop the show and then come back in. There’s also solar eclipses and dogs and silly Siri tricks! So don’t miss a moment!

No matter how many exorcisms you thrown at them, the GMen keep making podcasts and now they’re at show 666. How ever Mike Potter from the For Mac Eyes Only podcast and head guru of Macstock comes on to talk about how the event went and he’s is not evil at all!

Against Dave’s better judgement, he thought it would be fun to record a combination MyMac and Mac Geek Gab podcast while we’re all here at MacStock 2017! Guy, John F. Braun, and Dave Hamilton all on the same podcast. Next time he’ll listen to that inner voice. They talk about All kinds of stuff, MGG listener questions and tips and general Tomfoolery!

For one week, Gaz and Guy are recording together. Next week, not so much but Guy will be at Macstock so he’ll probably be able to find someone to record with. 2nd part of the Stephen Tobolowsky interview! Jawbone joins Fitbit in the rubbish bin of smart wearables. Instead what's left of the company will focus on medical software and hardware, a segment that Apple doesn't compete in...(gales of laughter)

Gaz is off this week, but Guy isn’t alone as he brings back after only 7 years, Stephen Tobolowsky! The interview went long so Guy broke it up into a two parter for this week and next. Stephen talks about how technology has made life easier…and harder for actors, directors, and editors. Plus fun time after show stories! Why are still reading this? GO LISTEN!

Guy is heading back from his vacation, white socks and sandals and all, so Gaz roped in Karl from the Mac&Forth show, they go through all the usual stuff and chat about Karl’s iMac and their use of iPads in the middle section, Gaz’s tip is a Menu Bar Wonder , well sorta!

Well the road experiment did work, sorta and we had Gaz on for the first section. Half the time he couldn’t hear us though. So after that, Guy talks to his son Peter and his video partner Jake in creating original content on YouTube on their Nano Bites page. It was all about how they create this content on their Macs. A weird blend of serious and wacky.

So WWDC is over and done with and the Men were pretty excited about the outcome. How excited? Well in about 20 minutes they’ll go over nearly everything talked about…though in not great detail. Guy changes his audio setup (AAAAgain) and wait till next week when recording while driving on I-95 will be attempted!
