Macgasm

In this week's episode we install an OWC Datadoubler in a MacBook Pro, along with a brand spanking new SSD. We also show off the new Hard Candy Bubble Sleeve, as well as the Smart Fish Whirl and Whirl mini mouse.

We're stepping away from Camera gear, and getting back to our roots a little bit in this week's episode of the video podcast. We're still on video gear, but it's more pertaining to the Mac than the previous episode. In this week's episode we talk about the Elgato H.264, and the huge time savings it brings to the table. We also talk briefly about transcoding video formats with Audacity, and finally some of the annoyances with iMovie for the iPad.

On this weeks episode we focus on some iDevice products. After having spent a couple months with the Audyssey South of Market Audio Dock, I have to say, I'm pretty impressed. Given the footprint, the sound quality if fantastic. Being able to toss audio over to the device from your desk via Bluetooth is a bit of a godsend for my office. We also spent quite a bit of time with the Joule stand by Element Case. The case has become a staple on my desk, while I wish the view angles were a little more adjustable, and the price wasn't so steep for a piece of machined aluminium, the stand is certainly solid. The Moshi iVisor AG is easily one of the better screen protectors we've tried out, and trust us, we've tried more than I'd like to admit. The matte finish, and black border really help to hide any air bubbles that may be present under the screen protector. Give the price, I'd highly recommend any of Moshi's screen protecting products.

This week's episode of the Macgasm Video Podcast is a bit of a mismash of topics. We show off ThinkGeek's Joystick-it iPad Arcade stick. Long story short, this device lets you play game on your iPad like those Arcade cabinets from the 1980s. We also show off NBA Jam for the iPad, and the Spyder 3 Elite to color calibrate your monitors.

Despite destroying one of our mics midshow, we managed to pull off an episode with only one mic. In this week's episode we talk about Twelve South's Book Book for the iPad, the Dodocase, as well as the iKlear cleaning solution for iOS devices.

Commentary Sometimes things get a little bit geeky, and this episode is no different. In today's episode we chat entirely about reading news on digital devices. Well, it's not entirely all news, we also talking about the Kobo eReader. It's fun to sit back and watch how news delivery mechanics have changed over the years. Somewhere along the way we went from book marking our favorite news websites to subscribing to RSS, and now a lot of people are transitioning from RSS based systems to Twitter based readers like Flipboard. There's clearly a struggle going on between the new approach and the old approach, and that struggle is clearly demonstrated in the applications we talk about in this episode. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it. Oh yeah, you might also want to stick around to the ending. The outro is pretty LAWLtastic.
