MacVoices

Glenn Fleishman is back to talk about a number of new projects, including his new activities as Macworld’s Mac 911 columnist and being the new co-host of the Macworld podcast, but the focus of the discussion is on his new book, A Practical Guide to Networking and Security in iOS 8. There is lots to like about all the new networking capabilities and functions of iOS 8; Glenn talks about his favorites, what works, and what you should consider “works in progress.” Fitting it naturally with networking is the subject of security. Glenn covers not just the technical side of things, but also the intersection of security and society, and issues surrounding your rights to privacy.

Sergey Kurdyashov and Josh Brown of Softorino talk about the development of WALTR, a simple but powerful utility to load a wide variety of audio and video formats on your iPhone and iPad quickly and without transcoding. The difference is that those files then appear in the native music and video apps, exactly as if they were natively supported. MKV, AVI, FLAC and all those other hard-to-deal with formats load and play easily. Sergey and Josh reveal the origin of the name, discuss how they discovered 4K video could be played on the newest iPhones, and why their intro video is a template for other developers to follow.

This edition of MacVoices is sponsored by Smile, the makers of PDFpen 7  and PDFpenPro 7, PDFpen for iPad, PDFpen for iPhone,  PDFpen Scan+, as well as TextExpander for Mac, TextExpander touch and DiscLabel. Great software to help you get more done.
