MyMac.com Podcast

A longer show than normal (normal being a relative term with the GMen) but filled with great stuff! We totally botch telling someone how to do a Nuke and Pave and can't find a Spanish Dictation program to save our life. We LOVE the Mac App Store but have a very odd way of showing it, and talk about how the Verizon iPhone may be a big deal in the US, but it's a been there and done that most other places.

The Macworld Expo is coming SOON and Tim and Guy will be on the Main Stage at 12 on Saturday the 29th of January!In the meantime start listening to Tim and Dave on the TechFan Podcast

We had to start twice this time as Tim Robertson called with great news! The MyMac and TechFan Podcasts will be teaming up at the 2011 Macworld Expo on the Main Stage on Saturday January 26th and 12 noon! Andreas Zeitt from the Screencasts Online site joins us to talk about screencasts and how he does them. Guy erases the hard drive in his MacBook Pro and hopes he can get it all together before leaving for the Macworld Expo.

For a show that didn't seem to have a major theme, it sure is a long one. Gaz and Guy talk about the upcoming Macworld Expo, some Christmas stuff, and our feverish anticipation for the Mac App Store. Guy…I mean Santa…buys an AppleTV finally and Guy joins the 21st century and gets NetFlix. Guy offers a prize (as yet undisclosed) for listeners to record promos for any MyMac.com Podcast…US only please. The GMen talk about Mac Software Bundles and whether or not they're really any bargain.

Allison Sheridan from the NosillaCast Podcst at Podfeet.com joins the GMen for a ROCKING Christmas show! We talk a bit about how she does her podcast and mention cute furry rodents a lot (SQUIRREL!). Turns out Gaz has never seen Pixar's "Up!" but we love him anyway. The GMen do a Quick Review of Elevate Entertainment's Zombie Ala Mode for iOS and somehow manage to keep the show under one hour.

Gaz isn't feeling well but soldered on for the show. David Cohen from TechFan gives us some grief for our opinions on eMagazines from last week. We do our Christmas pics for Apple user in your family (maybe that's you!), and we wonder just what Apple is going to do with all that new space in Cupertino?

A great interview with IDG's Paul Kent about what's going on with MacWorld 2011. Also, the GMen finally get the answer the whole world has been waiting for! How DO you pronounce Elisa Pacelli's name? We're threatened with a Cease and Desist over our name…or ARE we? Throw in some teenaged angst and adult angst over the Mac App Store (I'm sure there's a difference somewhere) and you've got a longer than normal show.

Gaz couldn't make it this week so Scott Willsey and Owen Rubin fellow writers at MyMac.com step up to the plate! We talk in circles around new content at MyMac.com while still managing to completely avoid whatever the story was actually about (but it works so go with it!). We talk about some of the options for remote desktop software and give some applications a quick review!

Guy and Gaz talk about why in this day of digital downloads, there still needs to be CD insertion based copy protection. Apple's new iOS 4.2 gets a stern talking to and how piracy affects the cost of the software you buy and how you use it.

A long and winding show across the universe of Mac Topics. John Blagden joins the G-Men and gives us quite a lesson on what Mac Pros want from their hardware, ESPECIALLY the now-canceled XServe. Gaz seeks and finds some help for his MacBook and Guy has grown to hate his current iMac for NOT running GarageBand properly. The Beatles are now on iTunes and after all this time, how big a deal is it really?

Tim Robertson from TechFan jumps on the show, but Skype and GarageBand are just not our best friends tonight. We have a couple of audio clips from Allison Sheridon from the Nosilla Podcast and Steve Hammond. We talk about digital content and how DRM only seems to hurt the ones that get it legally and is iOS 4.2 just around the corner?
