MyMac.com Podcast

For a show that started off with Guy desperately trying to find a topic, they sure talked a lot. Some email and Twitter questions are up first, followed by a long discussion about Apple's new shiny iMacs (Oh that quad-core goodness!) and another on how iMovie for iOS is NOT the only game in town.

Elisa agrees (silly girl!) to come on and try again to record a podcast with not one, but TWO GMen. Guy apologizes (again) for all the screw ups with the audio and as it turns out it WAS entirely his fault to absolutely no one's surprise. We get some great Twitter and email feedback from JollyJap and Klaus from Germany leaves an audio comment from our Skype number about the Google defamation lawsuit in Italy. Steve McShane records a review for the Samson Go Mic, and we talk about updates, and quarterly's, and location privacy (oh MY!)

Technical difficulties pretty much destroyed the podcast recorded with Elisa Pacelli so as a stopgap, we present what thousands of you have asked for! OK, a couple of hundred…OK, alright! NO ONE asked for this but it's a fun listen anyway.

Don doesn't have another daughter with an 18th birthday this week, so he couldn't reasonably get away from the GMen. We talk a bit about his methods and madness when doing screencasts (in the middle of crazy GarageBand delays which screws all of us up). We also chat up a new possible version of Final Cut Pro (which naturally DID happen RIGHT after we finished recording), Jailbreaking iOS devices, and discover that Don is a bit Squirrelly.

Don is in BIG trouble with the GMen! He promised to be on but let his daughter's 18th Birthday get in the way! BAD Don! BAD Don! We have a great show regardless with a good discussion about Lawyers, Guns, and Money but without the guns as it relates to recent events concerning Apple and Google. That's followed up with a good laugh (from Guy anyway) about Microsoft taking over big in the mobile market at Apple's expense.

This one runs a bit long as in our longest show ever, but it's chock full of great! Some terrific Twitter feedback that leads into a discussion about microphones and Application deletion software. Some email talking about why Reb WON'T buy an iPad, and Bill Palmer checks in and even stays for the third segment to talk about the upcoming 100th issue of BeatWeek Magazine!Guy gets his battery changed and annoys everyone with the theme song from the place that did it and lastly, Apple's World Wide Developers Conference is coming but maybe no new hardware? Bummer.

JollyJap gives the GMen a couple of weird stories (as our unofficial Twitter Correspondent! Congrats Paul…I think) and Tom Engels from the Explorer's Podcast has a question or two about iTunes and GarageBand problems that is certain to induce nightmares for Guy. China seems to hate juveniles, and Android beating iOS in web tests goes down in a Blaze! Old timers remember Bungie's Myth and now it seems to be back! Lastly, Adobe makes a Flash to HTML 5 conversion tool called Wallaby (but apparently doesn't carry around their employees in a pouch). If Flash is going to win out over Apple's objections, why do they need it?

The new iPad 2 from Apple gets quite a going over with a discussion started with an email from John Nemo. Lots of feedback from Twitter and JollyJap calls Guy a big Yank Tank. Was Gaz able to get himself an iPad while in Nashville? Ding Dong the Zune looks to be dead and Safari lasts for about 5 seconds at Pwn2Own. Lastly, ATT thinks that putting on a 150GB cap for broadband service is a great idea because of the alleged online habits of 2% of their customers…Really?

LOT'S of feedback this week (HooRAY! We love feedback!) from Skype and Twitter about iPads and what gear to buy. Allison Sheridon of the NosillaCast Podcast takes exception to Guy calling the Dexim charger fun but worthless, and Gaz's iPhoto library is slowing to a crawl! What's up with THAT? Lastly, sometimes the best iOS App is none at all.

Habla Espanola? Never mind. The Gmen talk about some of details of OS X 10.7 Lion, Guy praises Macs4u.com for their great service regarding his Mac Pro. They dissect the newly released MacBook Pros and talk a bit about some new 2nd generation device that Apples seems to think is SOOOOO important. Some tablet thing or other. We still think it's just a fad.

Guy has his Mac Pro and through a Herculean effort has it ready for the podcast! Gaz has a new toy too and it's making Guy drool. I wonder what it could be that would take his mind off his new Mac Pro?

Despite our best efforts (we really didn't try that hard, but we like to pretend we do), this is an extra-long show. Lots of feedback from our Bumpers show and thanks to all who sent one in themselves.

Gaz and Guy get it all together for this show, their first since the Macworld Expo. Skype hates Gaz and GarageBand hates Guy so it was a real roller coaster affair. A bit about Sony, a bit about the ViPhone, and more about the Daily, but this show's highlights are the Expo and Bumpers. Don't worry, it will all make sense by the end (or will it?)

No Gazmaz but that's okay since almost the whole show is a re-broadcast of the Macworld LIVE presentation that Tim and I did at the Macworld Expo on Saturday January 29th.

Guy and Tim wrap up MyMac.com's coverage of the 2011 Macworld Expo. In this last episode, Tim and Guy discuss the three days of Expo, the show on the main stage on Saturday, and at the very end snag an interview with Ted Landau, who was innocently walking by. Booth segments include Splashtop, Quick office, Ditto, Blue Microphones, Boom, Mophie, and Genieo.
