My Saturday Adventure at the Apple Store

Apple, Macbook Pro, Opinion 0

“I’m sorry but you won’t be able to purchase AppleCare.” I looked at him and asked “Why not?” His response… “It’s been more than 90 days since you purchased the MacBook and Apple changed their policy two months ago so you can’t buy AppleCare once 90 days have passed.”

134th’s time the charm – MyMac Podcast #446

#Podcasts, MyMac Podcast 0

Gaz is REALLY cheesed off at O2 and Guy finally, maybe, just perhaps has Audio Hijack Pro, Skype, GarageBand, and SoundBoard set up so that it will all work correctly without a single problem! Sheyeah right. Big discussion about Google’s Pixel laptop err..net device wait touch screen oh whatever it is, the GMen talk about it. Also Mrs. Nemo OBVIOUSLY rules the tech roost in their household. Apparently also Microsoft can’t even get people to steal their products. Good thing I guess since that means no one will drive a car through their storefront windows.

Angry Bloggers – MyMac Podcast #421

#Podcasts, MyMac Podcast 0

Gaz goes to the enemy camp but for a good reason while Guy tries (ye again) to figure out why Skype recording sucks and how to make it better (you can’t apparently). Then they talk about the new things released by Apple (you may have heard something about it) and why some people seem to have a Lightning bug up their neithers.

Just How Old Do Parrots Get? – MyMac Podcast #420

#Podcasts, MyMac Podcast 0

It’s Guy’s birthday and he’ll podcast if he wants to, but Skype seems to think it’s a bad idea. Yep another Skype sucks and we hate it kind of show. We still had fun though making fun of Microsoft and wondering just how long has it been since most of the Mac line had been updated. Gaz gives a great tip and to the surprise of no one Guy hadn’t heard of it before. Most be his old age kicking in.

Sound Bunny – User Report

Apps, Audio, Features, Macintosh, Review 0

Ever been on a Skype call with the volume turned up so you can hear clearly when a loud system alert nearly knocks you out of your chair? The problem is that the volume control on your Mac is universal; turn up the volume and all sounds are turned up equally.

It’s the Chiroptophobia Show – MyMac Podcast #389

MyMac Podcast 0

You’ll have to listen to find out what Chiroptophobia is, but the why they called the show that is still a mystery. Maybe they have a fear of naming things (no that would be Nomatophobia).The big 400th Podcast is coming up and Gaz and Guy can’t WAIT to give you people stuff for being so wonderful about listening to the show! However they seem to be able to make you wait until the 400th podcast actually happens. So far they have three companies willing to pony up some great prizes including BusyCal from BusyMac Software, the Co-Pilot iOS app from ALK Technologies , and MacKeeper 2012 from ZeoBIT Software. Then they go over a big list (but not a conclusive list) of the software they like on their Macs and why.

Scruffy Florida – TechFan #37

MyMac Podcast, TechFan 0

David Cohen is in Botswana, Africa, and his audio quality via Skype is better than usual. Up first, David has a real beef with the Steam service, and Tim is sick of no good gamepads for the Macintosh. Other subjects include NASA, the Space Shuttle program, hacking cell phones and voice messages, News of the World, break-ups via FaceBook, Google Images searches, and a lot more.

Fans of iMacs or iMac Fans? – MyMac Podcast #350

MyMac Podcast 0

This is a very anti-establishment show this time around as it seems Microsoft was probably listening last week as we criticized them and as a result, Skype was behaving very badly! They probably won’t be pleased with THIS show either as Guy goes through hell trying to get a product license for his LEGALLY purchased copy of Windows 7. No matter, lots of great stuff with an iChat chat, John Nemo’s Wife loves animals, and one of Gaz’s hard drive enclosures takes a dirt nap. Guy is very angry (SO angry!) with LodSys, the latest patent troll that takes a novel approach at getting money from Apple buy suing iOS developers and frankly we aren’t very pleased with Apple either as doing something as simple as a hard drive swap spins your fans to the max.
