MyMac.com Podcast

Next week is the annual report from Apple when we find out once and for whether or not all those people predicting doom and gloom for Apple are right or wrong. Until next quarter that is. The GMen also talk about updates,Irish tax bills, and the UK's Year of Engineering! Whatever THAT's all about.

So the GMen are tired of dancing around this, the world is filled with dumb arsed analysts and every media outlet seems determined to give them a platform to speak from. They do the show live (still in testing) on FaceBook, and are very sorry they missed last week and promise it will never happen again unless it does.

When is an 8th anniversary actually a 10th anniversary? Well...never. Lot's of Brou-ha-ha over stuff like less apps in the iOS App Store than last year, ARM vs X86, iOS apps to the Mac and lots of little things that lead to a full show.

So the countdowns are finally over...or are they? 99 shows to go to Episode 800 and 84 to go to the 500th GMen MyMac Podcast! Nevermind. Guy and Gaz talk about last week's Apple Education event which other than a crayon and new iPad was a bit of a snoozer.

So, 400 episodes wasn't enough eh? Had to take it 700 didn't you? Well of COURSE we did! Extra long show with Tim wrapped in the middle of a Guy and Gaz sandwich...wait, that didn't sound quite right

Holy moly, just ONE show away from 700! Actually since you're reading/listening to the podcast, it is zero shows away. Or something, math is hard. Gaz not here this week, so my son Peter who is the owner of my former Mac Pro to talk about...stuff. We chat about the crazy issues we had with the three week odyssey of getting the Mac Pro working, the upcoming Apple event, and scammy/scummy ink jet printers and the companies who make them.

Getting excited about Macstock 2018? The Men are and they dragged...INVITED Mike Potter and Barry Fulk who just happen to be the driving force behind Macstock on to the podcast to talk about what's going on this year. They also consented (not forced!) to being on video, so you can actually WATCH too!

Which pretty much sums up how most people feel about Apple but they don't have a podcasts and we do! We're doing a little experiment by also recording video (that will be out later) that hopefully will eventually entice people to sign up to our Patreon account or make them leave us in droves. If you leave though you'll miss stuff on wearables, finances, Buffett (Warren not Jimmy) and our continuing hate affair with analysts. So yeah, don't miss that.

Guy gets a new-wish iMac and has to reconfigure his entire set up which he naturally did like a BOSS! Or like, extremely lucky that anything works at all. All their stories has an international flavor, hence the name of the show, and we getting SO close to 700 that you can almost taste it if it wasn't just digital bits.

Is this some kind of crazy new math? Have the GMen lost their minds? Well, yes but not because of this. Apple makes a disproportional amount of profit as compared to their marketshare, one bad unicode can spoil the bunch girl (Jackson 5 reference if you didn't know), the HomePod leaves a ring around the collar, and Apple's wearable market by itself could be a Fortune 300 company. All this and their usual silliness.
