OWC Radio

Apple has a bevy of new products coming out over the next few months: iPhone 5, iOS 6, iPad mini, iPod, MacBook Pro 13″ with Retina display, and new iMacs. Microsoft gambles with it’s new Surface Tablet, and they’re doing an entire revamp of how Windows works with Windows 8. Silicon Valley says tech addiction is real.

Now that we've had some good time to assess the announcements from WWDC it's time to talk about the upgrades. Is MacBook Pro with Retina really a "pro" Mac or not? What the heck is going on with Mac Pro, and why did Apple do what they did?

The usual suspects are cashing in their opinions on a wide-variety of topics this month. From the massive coin that Apple has amassed to the single penny that NASA is sending to Mars and everything in between. Bet your bottom dollar, you're sure to enjoy this one...and you can take that to the bank.

We're home from the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show and while some might be a little worse for wear, it was a great show. Join us as we discuss what we introduced, what we saw, and what we think this year in electronics is going to bring.

Happy Holidays from the crew here at OWC Radio. We've made our list, we even checked it twice. This month we explore who's made the naughty list and who's been nice this Christmas season before OWC Chris settles in for his long winter's nap. So, grab a glass of egg nog and have a listen.

The Mayans may have been wrong… We’ve got massive flooding in Thailand causing a world-wide hard drive shortage, asteroids are on the way, Internet Explorer is no longer on top of the web browser food-chain, dinosaurs will soon be roaming the earth while the Mac Pro goes extinct, people are talking to their phones now, the Mac platform is becoming more susceptible to viruses, there are dogs and cats, living together – it’s mass hysteria! Is November 2011 the end of what we know?

Special Guest Chris Foresman accompanies our team today to discuss the passing of Steve Jobs, the release of the iPhone 4s and iOS 5, and the future of Apple as a company.

"It's a mad house! A mad house!" Steve Jobs retires. Apple loses an iPhone prototype...again! Orangutans are the next demographic using the iPad. Have we gone bananas? Journey with us as we figure it all out!

Lion has arrived and is met with mixed reviews from our panel. Join us as we discuss all the new Macs, the future of Thunderbolt, and other major topics in the tech industry - such as Steve Jobs for President, the iPad and the Comic Book Industry, and when does science fiction become science fact?

Apple's newest operating system, OS X Lion is due out this month and we’re waiting in anticipation of how it will be received by consumers. With the mixed reactions to iCloud and the almost unanimous discontent with Final Cut Pro X, one can’t help but be curious as to whether the OS will bring together the pride or make some feel like the prey.

Mixed reactions from our panel on the announcements made by Apple at WWDC last week, from excitement to disappointment, fuel the discussions on this month's episode. Topics include iCloud, iOS5, OS X Lion, iTunes Match, Mac Defender, ATT's 4G LTE network, the Apple / Nokia patent settlement and more.

The new iMacs are out and there's so much we've been discovering. A firmware update unleashed 6Gbps speeds on two of the SATA ports, then an interesting design choice essentially takes one way. A couple of programmers take advantage of a tracking oversight in iOS, but is it much ado about nothing?

Another month of news has gone by and there's so much to discuss! The iPad 2 is still not widely available. Apple has cut several products from retail stores. Acer is looking to overhaul their operations to be more like Apple. OWC has released several new and exciting products in the last month.

So much is new, new, new! Apple has released the new MacBook Pro models and announced the iPad 2 in a relatively short period of time. OWC has come through with analysis on the products and a lineup of upgrades with even more on the way. Come. Sit a spell, and we’ll tell you all about it.

Has Apple become the Big Brother they rebelled against in 1984? How large should the role of tech be in education? Has internet privacy gone the way of the dodo? Join us as we shake out the answers to these and other burning questions in this month’s episode.
