The Mac & Forth Show

We're a little bit later than usual this week but we felt the show needed to go on...despite your protests to the contrary. As a result the usual gang are not here but Karl is joined by a pair of wonderful folks in the guise of Alex G. Fox and Russ Clewett. They pour over the weeks Apple and tech related news while putting the world to rights and breaking out Karl’s tin foil hat.

Apple sets your SMS's freeeeeeeee.

This week Barry, Matt, Ric and Karl return to discuss the week’s Apple related news and rumours and are joined by Alan Vickers (The Deep Dive Guide to Microsoft Word for iPad). Probably more rumours than news this week and more inane banter than news…In fact you could basically say the guys return and talk nonsense for a bit then go away again…Yeah, that about sums it up, so it’s business as usual really.

Unbendable iPhone 6+….nope.

A little later than usual Karl is joined by Richard Harkness (Human V2), Alex G. Fox (the Air Waves Podcast) and Russ Clewett (The Airwaves Podcast) to discuss the weeks Apple news. Well, we say discuss, what we really mean is they point and call each other names under the thinly veiled disguise of an Apple related podcast, but what do you expect really?

Lock up your Trolls.

iTunes on Decline.

Silencing the Beats.

Office for Yosemite.

More NFC.

No parts for iPod.

A week has passed since Apple’s announcements and the panel have had time to reflect on their initial thoughts. Have they changed at all? Have the pros become cons? Has the reality distortion field faded? Can you really not get quicker than a Kwik Fit Fitter? All or none of these questions will be answered on this week’s show as Ric, Matt, Barry and Karl are joined by the Master of Screencasts himself, Don McAllister from ScreenCastsOnline.

iOS8 Arrives.

1Password goes Free…oh wait.
