OK, a bit of an eclectic mix but that’s what we do.

MyMac Podcast 545: It’s all about me (Well Guy at least)

Were doing the NosillaCast Podcast for Allison on the 15th of March! How will it go? Anyone’s guess, but the smart money is on funny train-wreck. Apples instructions for the iBook Store still confuses Guy, but what does not? Gas is super excited about the new Photos app still. Somehow or another a discussion off air about Captain Scarlett and the Mysterians leads to an on-air talk about the rumored Apple iCar or whatever the heck people are calling non-existent products from Apple these days.

MyMac Podcast 544: Aperature and iPhoto DEAD

Gaz gets his OWC Thunderdock and Guy rambles nearly incoherently (like we could tell the difference) of trying to get his book into Apples iBook Store. Amazon has it but its so easy that it isn’t like its THAT big of an accomplishment. Gaz talks about how he’s looking forward to the new Photos app from Apple and how he’s getting ready for it. Plus all the usual insanity you might expect from the GMen.

MyMac Podcast 541: Private Matters

Gaz and Guy are in rare form this time around or maybe not, who can tell? They go into some of the buzz surrounding various governments talking about safe keys to private messaging because we all know that there’s no way if they could do it that no one else could right? Right?

MyMac Podcast 537: The Un-Interview

So while Gaz is off spending time with his family, Karl Madden from the Mac & Forth Podcast was kind enough to fill in much to his later regret. They talk about their holidays,the Console Christmas hacks, and Kim Jong Un the Glorious Leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea or as we more commonly know it as the bat&*#$ crazy Korea. Oh and Guy calls hackers bad names because he can.

MyMac Podcast 535: The 250th GMen Show

Can you believe that nearly 5 years ago, Gaz and Guy started their version of the MyMac Podcast! Can you believe that Tim hasn’t wrestled away the show back from? We sure can’t. However it wouldn’t be a MyMac anniversary show without at least SOMETHING going wrong and sure enough, Guys SoundBoard program is somehow hosed. Didnt stop the GMen though as they finished the conversation they started last week about PC to Mac switchers. Don’t forget about their Bumper contest with as yet undefined prizes! Or as yet undefined length!

MyMac Podcast 531: But it involves goats!

Goats? Yes goats. Were not kidding. Deal with it. Most of the past technical issues seems to be dealt with, though we’ve all thought that before haven’t we?

MyMac Podcast 530: Next Week will be AMAZING!

Guy updates to Yosemite which turns out to NOT be a great idea since his recording layout got hosed. Gas is in top form however and teases Guy about his lack of having SoundBoard by using well SoundBoard. They talk about Microsoft 365 and options available free or otherwise and it turns out that the more expensive option could be the best one.

Yosemite: A Take Control Crash Course – Book Review

When I want to learn, really learn, about a single technology topic, I turn to Take Control books. Each book dives deep into its subject; for example Dropbox, online privacy, or 1Password. Many other readers prefer a quick overview of the topic, a get in, get out philosophy if you will.

MyMac Podcast 527: Apple Event (Mini Minimised)

Guy is enjoying himself somewhere in the State of Florida this week and just gives Gaz time to recompose himself, and a recent guest has kindly accepted the invitation back on. YAY TheMacMommy. Sad Face Gaz as he thinks this might be the last Mac Mini he buys, well we all know like that’s going to be the case 😉 Not updated to YoSeme yet, not because of all the issues, hang on what issues 😉 but because of time. We will get back to the event later.

MyMac Podcast 526: Bose gets the hose on the nose

Beats? Bose? Which one is better or right in this current cat fight? Audiophiles don’t care for either one but the GMen look at the issue and soon decide they wish they had talked about something else.
