MyMac.com Podcast

The first episode of the NEW MyMac podcast, TechFan. This episode, TechFan host Tim Robertson (former podcast host of MyMac, OWC Radio, and producer of Geekiest Show Ever and the AppMinute podcasts) and David Cohen (formally MyMac podcast host) talk Tech! Subjects include Tim's new job as COO of MacSpecialist in Chicago, the focus of this new show, the future of broadband in the U.S., Google Music store, the iTunes music store, the new Slate computers, and much more.

Gaz and Guy welcome Tim back‚again, to the MyMac.com podcast where he regales us with some pretty exciting news. He's taking a top spot with MacSpecialist in Chicago AND starting a new Podcast to be called TechFan. We go over the iOS possibly replacing OS X (and we don't agree), some more about the iPod Nano, a discussion on FTP and what may replace that too. We (well mostly Gaz and Tim) do some comparisons between the new AppleTV and the Mac Mini while Gaz replaces a drive in an Apple Time Capsule.

Gaz orders and then cancels a new iPod Touch because he loves animals more than technology. Guy runs Ethernet cable which messes up the house (and doesn't please his wife) and we have a Listener Invite this week with Roman Woznik of the MacCoreTV Podcast. We have a bit of a gab about if Apple should actually reign IN some of the less well thought out apps in iTunes for iOS as it passes over 250 thousand available. Also some talk if Apple is holding the iPod Touch back to make the iPhone look even better.

Guy's the REAL old timer, while Gaz gently guides him through the 21st century with new technology. We have Neil Worton as a Listener invite as we go over all the big announcements for the September 1st Apple event. New iPods, iOS updates, iTunes 10, and a twist on an old hobby made for a pretty exciting presentation! Neil and Guy tried watching it on their iPads while out and about, but apparently 3G connectivity isn't the best solution for a video streaming event‚ who knew?

Gaz's problems continue with his much maligned Mac Mini and we also talk about security on OS X and how, if you try REALLY hard and go out of your way to do something dumb, you can get malware on your Mac. Speaking of which, we give you a bunch of different ways to use Windows on your Mac. Call our Skype number (703-436-9501) CALL our Skype number (703-436-9501) CALL OUR SKYPE NUMBER (703-436-9501). Also come on as a listener invite! We don't bite (much).

Gaz is back from a work and holiday break from the podcast and got to see the Royal Air Force Red Arrows acrobatic flying team. Guy obviously confuses the US Navy Blue Angels and the US Air Force Thunderbirds and he's really, really sorry about that. They gab a bit about the iPad on the road, the Magic TrackPad, and Gaz's problems with his Mac Mini. We go on as well about iPhones and Verizon. We FINALLY get to the 2nd part of the Gaz and David Cohen interview (because we both like David so there!)

Tim Robertson returns to host the MyMac podcast. This episode features a discussion on the new Microsoft Buy a PC campaign against the Mac, backup solutions for our important data, top iOS apps we are enjoying, and so much more! Hosted by Tim, Guy, and special returning champion Greg Holdsworth!

Greg Holdsworth from Greg's Graphics and Your Own Victory Garden comes on to guest host this week and we have a lot of topics!Are Android phones TOO big for their primary use as a phone? The iPad has some competition, but you'll need to go to KMart to find it. What's missing from Apple in the Mac Universe? Finally, is Apple just not paying too much attention to OS X these days? C'mon Apple‚show a little love!

Gaz is off to Belgium for his JOB and Tom Schmidt steps in to talk about the new iMacs, Mac Pros, and a Magic Trackpad. A listener has a sad G5 Mac and Safari wants to tell everyone a secret. Danielle Corsetta from the popular webcomic Girls with Slingshots drops by to talk about how she writes, draws, and posts webcomics and keeps of her sanity. Finally Tom talks about the differences between Apple Stores and local Apple premium resellers

Gaz and Guy talk about all the hype with Apple's little problem child, the iPhone 4, AND it's the part two of the Stephen Tobolowsky interview!
