Mymac.com Podcast

Gaz arrives back and Guy is now away, will they ever do a show together. Gaz calls a special guest when Gaz realise's that there's no Guy on the other end of the Skype call. This week the special guest talk about where Apple might go (well briefly) and also a little more detail on Macstock 2019.

While it might not be EXACTLY dead, it isn't at all well and guest host Dave Ginsburg from the "In Touch with iOS" and the "Off the Charts Horse Racing" podcasts and Guy have a chat about it. Also tariffs, predators, the new DC Apple Store, and what iPhones might be dropped for iOS 13.

Gaz is off walking (VERY GREEN) while Guy ropes in Karl Madden from the Mac and Forth Podcast to burn off electricity to make a podcast (not at all green). Besides the usual stuff, they talk about what carbon neutral means and doesn't mean and how power from all green sources isn't always what you might think it is.

OK, listen carefully. There is NO after show in this MyMac Podcast. Seriously...none...zip...nada. We're actually trying to make a concerted effort to get the show length down, so we naturally easily went over an hour. Maybe later this week we'll put out a supplemental after show, but it's not in this one. What is in this one is Guy's new teeth, Gaz's news snippets earlier than usual, and lot's of other stuff. STOP looking at the end for the after show!

Sure it's 750 podcasts but the GMen were only around for 465 of them. To celebrate, Guy changes his audio setup...again, Gaz is doing a bunch of traveling, and neither of them like Star Trek Discovery. They take their time making fun of the US Congress, Apple Arcade, Huawei...eay...uol...or however you spell or pronounce that company's name, Qualcomm, and Samsung. Easy targets all.

A longer show if you include the after show but shorter than the short show from last week if you don't. Got it? Good. Guy is upset about the AAF shutting down and Gaz is upset that Numbers isn't Excel. They're BOTH upset that Apple watches are making the news but not in a good way and that AirPower is impossible. Apple's Airpower that is since regular air power is easy as pie but not for Apple...So Apple Pie...oh never mind.

What if Apple had an event and a lot of people didn't like it? That's the question Gaz and Guy attempt to answer in this early and supposed to be shorter podcast. However it ended up nearly as long as every other podcast. Well of COURSE it did.

Guy is finally back from his east coast extravaganza where he and Tracey spent a significant amount of time not feeling well. Gaz finally has a music snippet for Gaz's news snippets, and they discuss all the new Apple hardware. It's enough to make you feel like a Funky Poodle.

And the lull ends, so there is an Apple event at the end of March and I think they’ve announced the timings for the WWDC ticket lottery. So the End of March event could have a Who’s who of celebrities turning up, I wonder why? Talking about celebrities as Guy is still frightening the locals somewhere in the depth south Karl Madden has joined me.

We seem to be in a lull at the moment, and even Guy has decided it’s so quiet he’s going to disappear for 2 weeks, so this week I roped in, I mean I asked and he kindly accepted the invite Nick Spligosh Riley

Apples gives and then takes away...layers of confusion and it's hard to say whether this was a good thing to take or a bad thing to give. Could be both. Meanwhile the GMen don't dwell on it because of a short attention span and instead talk about ideology, Steve Jobs, the FBI, East Texas, and streaming game services. Oh and some kerfuffle about Facebook and privacy but hey, it's Tuesday.

The GMen are not overly fond of analysts and all their blather, so when two directly contradict each other, it cause for a case of the giggles...or sniffles in Guy's case. Guy also keeps hearing about ARM-based Macs and Gaz keeps poking him for reactions!

No podcast last week because Guy was at death's door! That's IF "Death's door" was sniffling, a little coughing, and making everyone around him miserable by complaining. Come to think of it, many did want to kill him before he felt better. This week though, they catch up on all the MyMac stuff, a little news, if Apple should buy Netflix, and laughing that Samsung wants to open exclusive Samsung stores.

Guy manages to half destroy his mancave and Gaz wants to go museum hopping! Also, Apple sells a lot of stuff but not as much as they promised they would (proooooomised!), FaceTime flaws, and Google/FaceBook did a naughty thing!

Yes the GMen are without direction. Yes, they meander all over the place. No, that doesn't have anything to do with the show's title. It's a not very clever way to bring up a Macintosh Emulator. They also have a non-second section technical talk about all kinds of things and maybe they'll start doing that in the second section too...unless they forget.

There's a great reason why the show has this name, but Guy can't remember what it is. What he does remember is that buying stuff at Wish is not typically a wish granted. Gaz is editing his time-lapse videos on an iPad instead of his Mac and hacks and viruses just aren't what they used to be. Lastly, feeling nostalgic for older Apple products? Well like bad food they may be back up again!

It's traction distraction, what's your fractions? Guy LOVES microphones and he's disappointed when a cheap one outperforms an expensive one...especially after he's bought both! Gaz is distracted by time...and time-lapse. But isn't time-lapse something that happens anyway? Oh and we suppose the Consumer Electronic Show in Vegas is worth a mention or two.

So it's planes, lawsuits, the Queen of England (naturally), iPhone sales in China, time-lapse, and vodka. Especially vodka. And trying to find a cursor...without cursing.

Happy significant milestone that neither Gaz nor Guy remembered until this week everyone! Oh, and apparently a major religion is getting ready to celebrate the birth of the Messiah some 2000+ years later. Man at least the GMen were only a week off! Mr. Yankello redoes some graphics for Guy and Gaz can't get enough of HomeKit. Also, Ming-Chi Kuo gets mentioned a lot, bent iPads are A-OK with Apple, and when is 5G that isn't 5G, 5G? When AT & T says it is.

Gaz and Guy are back after a deserved by someone anyway week off. Almost completely without notes and any kind of structure which leads to hilarious shenanigans. Gaz's got some stories and Guy just loses it several times.
