Apple had their quarterly earnings call and despite a rise in revenue for Services and iPads, the general earnings were down about 6 million year over year. Or roughly a few days of fines in Denmark.
There's some speculation that 2023 may be the year that the M-series Mac Pro may finally be released. There's also lots of speculation (and a fair bit of whining) that it won't be as expandable as some past Mac Pros...
Just as we were getting comfortable with the state of all things Mac, Apple does a non-event and throws out M2 Mac minis and MacBook Pros. Seems like maybe they should have started with these instead of the Air and...
For the plus 20 years, Apple has manufactured the vast majority of their stuff in China. Obviously they haven’t been alone in doing this, most major tech companies and many smaller ones have either moved their factories to China or...
News on this podcast is serious business…no matter how many times we laugh at it. It can be hard to take some news seriously and other times it just lends itself to hyperbole and ridicule, but we approach these topics...
Sometimes it’s hard to know what features an OS is offering that might be to your liking? If really any at all. So we’re going to talk about some of the main features of macOS Ventura and whether or not...
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the podcast, not a creature was stirring but you know it won’t last. Gaz and Guy have family coming from afar. Through wind, snow, and rain, but quite comfy in their car....
Two weeks away and the GMen are getting into the spirit of the season! That season being "Why the heck is it so cold and windy?" Also, it's looking more and more like Apple is going to be forced in...
We have just jumped into the holiday season with black Friday and all kinds of deals that really aren’t all that impressive. However, Guy has scoured the internet (at least 25 minutes of hard core searching!) and found a bunch...
There seems to be little common ground around Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter. It’s either the greatest thing EVAH (freedom fries for murica) or a house burning down around an oven with a chicken left in at 300 celsius. What...
You would think Apple was in dire straits based on what analysts are saying. Some of it true and some false, all overblown or inconsequential long term. AirPods and AirPods Pros assembly lines being shut down for an unnamed new...
Do you know what happens when you throw a podcast together without a topic or show notes and things just seem more disorganised than usual? Funny you should ask.
Remember all those times the GMen have told you NOT to immediately update to a new version of the macOS? Remember those times? Well, both of them decided to completely ignore that advice and throw common sense out the window...
Busy day for Guy yesterday with a 3 hour drive each way to Philadelphia to see a Dracula exhibit at the Mutter Museum. Much Muttering was done as it was less spectacular than anticipated. Also Apple apparently updated some tablet...
Guy is back from Zombie-land but it turns out he never went to the dead people place...for now. All the drama that happened in Long Island is explained and saying we have wood might not mean what it sometimes means...
Guy is away enjoy seeing dead people in a museum so hopefully his zombie fetich for this year will be sorted. I decide to go solo and madness nearly ensues.
The GMen are back in studio after Gaz was off doing a lot of fun stuff. However Guy will show him. Instead of a private plane, yacht, Spanish destinations, and a 10 course meal, Guy will have a rental car...
Gaz is off doing luxury things on luxury planes and drinking luxury drinks, eating luxury food, dancing to luxury songs, and presumably using luxury toilets while on a luxury ya-cht. Don’t blame us for saying ya-cht. That’s how it’s spelled....
A lot of the stuff from the Apple event is now available or WAS available because it’s now mostly on backorder. To be expected in the current climate. Fortunately neither of the GMen want to buy anything new…or do we?...
The Apple event has come and gone and there were very few surprises. iPhone 14, new watches, new iPod Pros. The GMen will go over what did (and didn’t) impress them. Also condolences to all affected by the death of...
THOUGHT he might save by recording with Audio Hijack utterly failed to manifest itself. Big Apple event on Wednesday (Guy still hates the date) for some Apple-ly stuff so everything is mostly quiet this week…except for the GMen.
Apple announced their September event is scheduled for the 7th which is a Wednesday and has Guy’s OCD greatly disturbed because it’s SUPPOSED to be on a Tuesday…according to Guy.
It’s being said that the iPhone 14 will have the same look and processor as its predecessor and in order to get the best full featured specs, you’ll need to jump to the 14 Pro. If this is true, is...
While Tim Cook (Mr. Excitement) has been the CEO of Apple for over 10 years, he’s now getting closer to mid-60s and is probably looking past where he’ll be running things. His legacy is pretty firmly set and there’s not...
Apple just released their Q3 earnings for 2022 and while the company met expectations, that’s about the long and short of it. Mac sales in particular were way down by 20 year over year and the biggest problem seems to...
What happens when you pout 4 previous and current hosts of the MyMac Podcast into the same video call? A REALLY long podcast! Tim Robertson, David Cohen, Gary "GazMaz" Malpas, and Guy Serle discuss the history of the MyMac Podcast,...
So Guy used to do this thing called the Dashboard Minute when he still had hair on top of his head…kidding…wasn’t happening even then, He thought they were gone forever when Apple pushed it out with OS X 10.14 Mojave....
Neither Guy nor Gaz are made out of money which is a good thing since random pieces of coloured paper can't do podcasts, but we can afford a few luxuries or items to replace current luxuries. So in the section...
We made a lot of predictions for the keynote of WWDC, and I'm proud to say that we got everything right...which is a lie. Other than the date, not too much was correct.
So many sales going on right now on Apple products from Walmart with its Walmart Plus Weekend sales or Amazon’s Amazon Prime Day events with HUGE discounts off Apple Products. Many pendants are saying, “Hey Apple, why don’t YOU do...
One of the GMen has been predicting for a long time that what the iPad needs isn’t half-hearted multitasking that requires more moves than a rugby player in the - line-out, but a full fledged floating window experience. Kinda like...
So, is this the world’s longest segue? Having Karl Madden from the Mac and Forth show on last week was fun, but it did break up our discussion about Apple devices. Somehow I think we’ll live through the experience, but...
It seems redundant these days to report on Apple’s finances when you could record it once with a “Apple made record revenue and profits this year blah blah blah” and call it a day. There’s a nugget there though while...
What do you call it when you travel for four days to spend two days at an event? Something Guy would do. For some reason, Facebook is unhappy that Apple doesn't let them track iPhone users with all the things...
Gaz is off doing fun stuff and left Guy all on his own, a dangerous proposition no matter how you look at it. However, he (Guy) was also smart (for once) and invited David Ginsburg from the “In Touch with...
Oh just relax internet censors, we’re talking about computer speed for gosh sakes. The great debate over whether Apple’s benchmarks comparing an M1 Ultra Mac Studio to a similar Intel-based computer has fans on both sides dragging up all the...
When it comes to upgradability, Apple’s devices going back well into the Intel years have not exactly been the best examples. Even the simple things like RAM and storage have been missing from most of Apple’s lineup for many years....
Man that Apple event was really something wasn’t it? Too bad nearly everything Guy predicted was utterly and almost to the point incorrect. Fortunately according to the many worlds theory as proposed by the famed Polish theoretical physicist Wojciech (WOJ-SEE-ETCH)...
It’s always exciting when an Apple event is right around the corner and while we don’t do “rumors” per se, we do like to speculate on what Apple goodies might be just around the corner. It’s less immediate than a...
It’s our 600th-ish podcast and MAN do we have some exciting stuff for you! If by exciting, we mean really more or less a regular show. While this is a significant milestone for us, it pales in comparison to what’s...
Maybe “lies” is a bit strong, but we’ve yet to see any kind of announcement officially for an event that is 3 weeks away according to sources. Of course in these days of spectacular events that no one is allowed...
Seems like every week there’s a new story about a security break down between our smart devices and reportedly unintended consequences of the apps we use and auxiliary features and hardware those apps use. Case in point, this week it’s...
Other than lot’s of political wailing about one thing or another there’s not much to talk about this week, but we’ll manage. Some cool Sci-Fi is coming to the small screen. Also Guy got a new chair so no more...
A mandatory Android and iOS app for all Olympic athletes and visitors for the 2022 Winters games allegedly can listen in with no prompting from the user. However it makes up for this by storing and sending personal information like...
connectivity and low power wireless standards all jumbled together to make an internet of things word salad less confusing. As an added bonus, even stuff not designed to work together should if the proper protocols are followed. Get it? Well...
600th podcast is coming up so you need to write or record the most insulting (but keep it clean) you can say about the GMen to possibly win a fabulous prize! Would love to tell you what it will be...
CES 2022 is over and apparently wasn’t as huge as it’s been in years past. Obviously the never ending-demic is the culprit, but there were still some cool things released for Apple related products and the GMen will discuss that...
A quiet year in general since most people were discouraged from going anywhere and Apple wasn’t immune either. So let's take a walk down memory lane at the world of Apple in the year 2021. Also more phone calls!
Gaz and Guy are going to share with you their opinions of some of the new features built into the latest versions of iOS and MacOS. Some of those opinions like those features will likely stink. Also, remember Guy complaining...
