It's time to talk music on "New Stuff", as this month's panel discusses the latest online music services available from Google, Apple and others (although it pretty much turns into a Spotify love-fest). The group also recommends some services and apps they are enjoying, and Alan creates an impromptu music video. Don't say we didn't warn you. Show host Lee Yount (www.catawbacounty.gov) brings together MESH regulars Alan Jackson (Jackson Group Interactive, www.jginteractive.com), "Free Range Chicken Thinking" host Ryan Carroll (with Pixelspace, www.pixelspace.com), and Carol Anne Hartman from "The Parent Trip (Carol Anne Hartman Photography, www.cahartman.com/) for this month's discussion.

Dual Booting (formerly "New Stuff"): Ramblings from March 2016

Alan and Chess wrestle with the biggest tech issues of the day… which includes coming up with a new name for the show. It looks like “Dual Booting” may be the winner… but no one is ready to commit quite yet. In other news, they discuss Apple’s latest quarter report, rumors of wireless charging on the next iPhone, iTunes Radio shutting down free streaming, and drones… lots and lots of drones. Alan and Chess also give their picks of the month: Chess chooses “Airmail” and Alan picked “Sleep Cycle”… both available on the iOS App Store!

New Stuff: Are We Called "Dual-Booting” Now?

There’s lots to talk about in the world of tech, with a special emphasis on Apple-related news.  Alan and Chess talk about the new Apple TV (which neither of them own) and the new iPad Pro (which neither of them own), and why they do not own either of them yet.  Along with the typical Apple prognostications, they also talk about Twitter’s change from “Stars” to “Loves”, Facebook getting into the Snapchat game, and the popular movie genre known as “body-switching” films.  Judge Reinhold, you are welcome on our show anytime.
