Forget editor Charles Martin, forget managing editor Mike Wuerthele, he's back: Malcolm Owen returns to One More Thing with a song in his heart – and a bugbear on his mind. It's to do with his enforced month-long absence and you'll hear about that in the Thingies of the Week which for once gets a bit political and a bit musical. It's complicated.

Another week, and more rumors and tech news! This week, Mike and Charles take a look at some of the latest rumors -- including the alleged "iPhone 5e," which replaces the clearly-fake "iPhone 6c" (insert eye-rolling here), the now-NOT March "Apple Watch 2" event (more eye-rolling), and the idea that Apple was going to buy Time Warner (eyes gone back into skull). We also talk about bad parenting, the threat to user encryption, and of course our App of the Week.

Prepare for a clash of continents and vowel sounds as North American travelling man Charles Martin meets stay-at-home UK type William Gallagher. It could get rough –– except for how the pair of them are full of how their new MacNN book is a best seller. They do shut up about that but it takes some effort. What gets them off the topic is how Tim Cook has just been talking sense at the White House about encryption and maybe he's being listened to. Maybe. There are also Apple updates and the occasional rumor that we're all listening to.

It's the first MacNN Podcast of 2016, and we're just back from CES with all the latest stuff that is going to make up your glorious future! We talk about HomeKit, CarPlay, and Intel's plans for USB-C and Thunderbolt 3, plus we rank our best and worst Apple things for 2015, plus we plug our new book and reveal some surprising polling data.

For the first One More Thing podcast of the year, we look forward a bit but unexpectedly look back an awful lot more. This week is 39 years Apple was incorporated and the philosophy it still sticks to was laid out in a memo. Also news has just come out of floppy disks from the 1980s being found in the archives of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and all these things occupy William Gallagher and Mike Wuerthele much more than the news that Samsung is going to make slightly less money this year.

We keep saying that you're joining us in the kitchen: finally we're going to make you a mug of tea. There's some cans in the fridge, too, we won't judge. Just get yourself something, do not under any circumstances take even one pixel of that chocolate cake we're saving, and let's have a natter. The kettle's boiled. Come have a chat about what we'll be seeing, hearing and doing in the next twelve months. Speaking of which, happy new year from MacNN and One More Thing.
