MyMac.com Podcast

Apples gives and then takes away...layers of confusion and it's hard to say whether this was a good thing to take or a bad thing to give. Could be both. Meanwhile the GMen don't dwell on it because of a short attention span and instead talk about ideology, Steve Jobs, the FBI, East Texas, and streaming game services. Oh and some kerfuffle about Facebook and privacy but hey, it's Tuesday.

The GMen are not overly fond of analysts and all their blather, so when two directly contradict each other, it cause for a case of the giggles...or sniffles in Guy's case. Guy also keeps hearing about ARM-based Macs and Gaz keeps poking him for reactions!

No podcast last week because Guy was at death's door! That's IF "Death's door" was sniffling, a little coughing, and making everyone around him miserable by complaining. Come to think of it, many did want to kill him before he felt better. This week though, they catch up on all the MyMac stuff, a little news, if Apple should buy Netflix, and laughing that Samsung wants to open exclusive Samsung stores.

Guy manages to half destroy his mancave and Gaz wants to go museum hopping! Also, Apple sells a lot of stuff but not as much as they promised they would (proooooomised!), FaceTime flaws, and Google/FaceBook did a naughty thing!

Yes the GMen are without direction. Yes, they meander all over the place. No, that doesn't have anything to do with the show's title. It's a not very clever way to bring up a Macintosh Emulator. They also have a non-second section technical talk about all kinds of things and maybe they'll start doing that in the second section too...unless they forget.

There's a great reason why the show has this name, but Guy can't remember what it is. What he does remember is that buying stuff at Wish is not typically a wish granted. Gaz is editing his time-lapse videos on an iPad instead of his Mac and hacks and viruses just aren't what they used to be. Lastly, feeling nostalgic for older Apple products? Well like bad food they may be back up again!

It's traction distraction, what's your fractions? Guy LOVES microphones and he's disappointed when a cheap one outperforms an expensive one...especially after he's bought both! Gaz is distracted by time...and time-lapse. But isn't time-lapse something that happens anyway? Oh and we suppose the Consumer Electronic Show in Vegas is worth a mention or two.

So it's planes, lawsuits, the Queen of England (naturally), iPhone sales in China, time-lapse, and vodka. Especially vodka. And trying to find a cursor...without cursing.

Happy significant milestone that neither Gaz nor Guy remembered until this week everyone! Oh, and apparently a major religion is getting ready to celebrate the birth of the Messiah some 2000+ years later. Man at least the GMen were only a week off! Mr. Yankello redoes some graphics for Guy and Gaz can't get enough of HomeKit. Also, Ming-Chi Kuo gets mentioned a lot, bent iPads are A-OK with Apple, and when is 5G that isn't 5G, 5G? When AT & T says it is.

Gaz and Guy are back after a deserved by someone anyway week off. Almost completely without notes and any kind of structure which leads to hilarious shenanigans. Gaz's got some stories and Guy just loses it several times.
