Mymac.com Podcast

Guy is back from Texas and Gaz is ready to to multi-task with podcasts. The big question, should you go ahead and upgrade to macOS Catalina or hold off until it's more mature along with any apps that aren't ready for prime time.

So Guy called me 5 mins before the podcast to say that he wanted to be known by another name today so as per his request I’d like to say hi to Karl. We discuss Apple Arcade and also what we think Apple might bring to another event, that is if they have one.

This refers to Guy installing and playing with macOS Catalina and not a general statement about the GMen and their work ethics...though it could be. Some new stuff and new problems with various Apple gear fill out the remainder of the show and one VERY generous PayPal person.

iOS 13 is out and the GMen have things to way about it. Also Apple Arcade can now be experienced but just on the smallest possible screen. They both also probably want new iPhones, but won't admit it.

Disasterish birthday and crappy vaca plus too bust at work makes Guy a sad boy, but Gaz and Apple is here to cheer him up with new stuff...that he doesn't want to buy. The GMen talk a lot about that Apple event because that's what they do.

He spent more trying to leave however than he did actually IN Florida and his weird adventure is all laid out here. Gaz is happy Guy is back because that means he doesn't have to do a solo show. Our listeners are happy because...because...well, they MUST be happy about something.

The show nearly didn’t happen in fact Gaz called out on the Twitters and on Facebook that there would be no show, but this is the show that is and not the show that isn’t. Gaz got his stuff together well as much as he could and put a short something together for your ears.

The show was almost called something else, but Guy was too confused to do it right, so Gaz rolled his eyes and left it alone. Knob is actually a Bluetooth exploit that Apple has patched, but you still shouldn't be complacent about it. Gaz's iMac is also still not at all well, so he's using an old Mac mini that doesn't have his stuff just as Guy announces his latest trip to somewhere else.

What do you get when Apple tells you everything is just fine with your hardware but it still isn’t working? A computer that still isn’t working. In this case, it's Gaz's iMac that has a list of potential issues.

Getting excited for the new Apple Credit Card, but first the GMen need to get through some odd stories concerning the demise of pets. Why? If you have to ask...

So Macstock for 2019 is over but the drama continues! Guy talks about his experiences getting there and the great time he had, while Gaz's Mac woes took up much of his time while Guy was gallivanting around.

Audio from all the livecasts Guy did while at Macstock 2019. David Cohen and Tim Robertson from TechFan, Dave Hamilton from the Mac Geek Gab, David Ginsburg from In Touch with iOS, Allison Sheridan from the NosillaCast, the organizer of MacStock and host of For Mac Eyes Only Mike Potter, Lori from the Macstock sponsor Other World Computing, and Chuck Joiner from MacVoices!

Elephant-ish extinct things in a twitter-like environment. Is it that the GMen projecting? Whatever the case may be, this week's show is kinda long, but it is the last one before the awesome Macstock 2019! So listen in.

The fallout from Jony Ive's departure from Apple continues....but not very well. The GMen look into some of the more ridiculous stories that have sprung up since the announcements. Also, a new contest for the first time in like forever.

One of the last links to old school Apple is leaving and we are doooooomed. No not really, but Jony is leaving sorta, and the Men are here to discuss that and if you listen to the after show, the latest in VERY casual evening and work wear.

As we get closer and closer to macOS Catalina, sometimes it's not about what we gain, but what we lose. Dashboard is one of those things, but seriously, when was the last time you used it?

MAN doesn't the price of the new Mac Pro, Display, and mount get you SO ANGRY?!? Why? If you have to question whether it's worth it, chances are Apple isn't trying to see it to you. However upon reflection...that damn mount!

All the WWDC and none of the frilly stuff you don't want to know, unless that's what you wanted then...sorry. Livecasting and other things too.

They actually talk very little about WWDC as it will probably have already happened by the time most listen to this. However developers are angry! So VERY angry for...reasons! Also more about chicken...so there's that.

The GMen are back together and this is supposed to be a good thing...you can probably decide that for yourself. They talk about a lot of random stuff and then get into what might be coming for WWDC!
