MyMac.com Podcast

Guy and Gaz finally get back together after the Macworld Expo and go over all the major events as seen through the eyes of Guy (No guarantees about accuracy). Gaz in withdrawal does about a billion other podcasts. There was a lot of listener feedback which they only kinda half-answer (they'll get back to it, promise!). A longer show because Guy doesn't when to stop TALKING!

Guy's audio on the floor was pretty bad (Tim has the GOOD Microphone), so Guy waited until he got home to try and clean it up. You can be the judge of how well he (or didn't) do. These are the last five developer interviews on the Macworld Expo floor from Guy and Tim.

Shorter than usual but taking probably twice as long as it needed to since nearly everything was created and edited on iOS. Tim and Guy run through the latest stuff found at the Macworld/iWorld Expo before Guy has four recorded bits with various show vendors.

We are off to the races before the Macworld Expo - iWorld 2012 show even officially kicks off. A large contengent of MyMac.com writers and podcasts are on hand to kick off the event on a shorter than normal podcast!

If you like Listener Feedback and interviews you'll LOVE this show. Guy's wife has a bit of an incident but she's OK now (which means Guy is cleared for MacWorld!), Gaz has OCD or does OCD have Gaz? Guy and Gaz prove without a shadow of a doubt that neither have Polyphobia and Tonya Engst from TidBits comes on to talk a bit about Tids and ePublishing

We wish the iPhone a happy birthday with a non-copyright version of a disjointed birthday song and barely mention it again. A couple of technical problems get mentioned and the MacParrot coffee mug makes a spectacular comeback…if someone buying one to make a grand total of two made can be considered a sales success. We had some feedback concerning last week's complaints and Tom Schmidt believes he's taking over for Gaz (Not going to happen unless he changes his name to start with a "G"). We have TWO Skype calls and discuss an unnatural fear of Celine Dion. iTunes gets a working over and with the Macworld Expo right around the corner, Guy talks about gearing up (or down as the case may be) for it.

A complaining email gets answered (it's not always about peace and love darn it) and Gaz can't remember that 1password (see what I did there?) for work so goes back in Time to find it. We finally get around to a few questions from James about how we do the podcast and what we do it with and Jonny Ive get's Knighted and Guy gets squat. It's SO unfair!

More about you the listeners this week than about any news from the Mac scene. We talk about buying used Macs (kinda), the state of Radio (not really), and how to waste a perfectly good beer (OK that we did do). QuickTime gets some attention as a fast video editor and a good discussion on what we'll do on future shows goes on (say what?). All in all, a weird time is had by all but what ELSE did you expect just after Christmas?.

All relatively quiet on the Mac front so the GMen decide to have a little discussion about bigger or smaller iDevices, how Amazon is doing with the Kindle Fire, and what they got for their loved ones for Christmas…SHHH. Don't tell.

Twitter and email and FaceBook run Guy and Gaz ragged (but in a good way) as they get to all that stuff you guys wanted to talk about. Nitrous Oxide, non-working Android tablets, a face-off between Siri and Microsoft's TellMe is just the start. Jake Cherry wants to know more about iTunes and backing up and James Myers wants the GMen's opinion (God knows why) on Apple Scripting, sandboxed apps, and Apple's take on podcasting. Also a NEW segment on the show…Phobiword of the day.
