Guy and Gaz finally get back together after the Macworld Expo and go over all the major events as seen through the eyes of Guy (No guarantees about accuracy). Gaz in withdrawal does about a billion other podcasts. There was a lot of listener feedback which they only kinda half-answer (they’ll get back to it, promise!). A longer show because Guy doesn’t when to stop TALKING!

Guy’s audio on the floor was pretty bad (Tim has the GOOD Microphone), so Guy waited until he got home to try and clean it up. You can be the judge of how well he (or didn’t) do. These are the last five developer interviews on the Macworld Expo floor from Guy and Tim.

Only about one and a half months togo until Macworld/iWorld! Hope you’ve got your hotel and flights arranged. Paul Kent from IDG comes on to talk about the new stuff this year and chat about his feelings (what?). Gaz hates iTunes or did until Lion seemed to straighten out most of his issues…well that and a new Mac. Twitter gets weird for the GMen and not one, but TWO new iTunes reviews! WOOT!

Just as most reasonable people believed, Adobe has given up on Mobile Flash and naturally blames Apple instead of it being because it sucked. Guy gives iTunes Match a go but Gaz can’t yet (however he has an iPhone 4S and Guy doesn’t so Guy is sad). It may seem sacrilegious, but you CAN sync Android devices to your Mac, Apple becomes a top 5 vendor in Europe, and why we’d prefer a side order of Google.

Gaz and Guy take a short trip back to their childhood to push silicate crystals around…what? OH! Not THAT kind of Sandbox, but the kind that keeps bad stuff out at the potential cost of keeping good stuff out too. The GMen have at least one idea as to why those Birds seem to be so angry. Gaz gets all Zombiefied while throwing his (paper) weight around and Rich Lefko wants to start a petition to bring back the “Save As” command to OS X Lion. Guy’s chair breaks in the middle of a segment which makes him sad.

Sometimes shows are so on focus and so well put together that you can’t help but be proud. This is not one of those shows. After taking last week off, Gaz and Guy come out with a show probably not chock full of Apple information but guaranteed to make you laugh nearly as much as we did doing it. Lot’s of Twitter feedback and a discussion about Apple’s Siri iOS program which Gaz has and Guy doesn’t. Some iCloud stuff and Guy talks Sam Negri from MyMac out of buying Lion and that’s a good thing.

We didn’t release the show we recorded last week with the sudden death of Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs since our normal frivolity with the release of the iPhone 4S and iOS just didn’t seem appropriate. However Gaz and I got together with Tim and Dave from TechFan (along with quite a few other people…go download TechFan 50 for the whole show) on Friday the 7th of October to talk about our memories of Steve and Apple amongst other things. Tim kindly pulled out the bit with Gaz and I and we’re using that for the an extra-long intro to our show. Not wanting to let anything go to waste, the podcast we recorded last week will play after that

How do you feel about a Mac made by Gateway…or Sony…or Dell? Guy asks and Gaz shakes his weary head in disbelief. As a matter of fact pretty much EVERYONE asked or that had read the article at MyMac that Guy wrote has said the same. Oh, and by the time you read this or hear this pocast, it will almost be time for unspecified iPhone news! YAY for rumors that can’t be proven but have a logical consistency!

Yeah, we had some stuff to talk about, but it’s mostly just fun stuff since it’s kinda quiet lately. Gaz has a chat about the Liverpool Tweetup that went international with FaceTime to the US from an Italian/Spanish restaurant. It makes sense if you listen. Microsoft wants us to use Windows 8 with everything plus cheese and should you buy an iPad 2 with the the iPad 3 much closer than farther away? And let’s give a great big hand to a rather unusual iPhone case.

A quiet week Apple-wise but that doesn’t stop Gaz and Guy from having an extras long show. Thomas Zahler, writer and artist for the popular webcomic “Love and Capes (http://www.loveandcapes.com)” comes on to talk about how he creates his works on a Mac and what he wishes for in cool gear! Thom stays on with the GMen to have a bit of a chat about why PC makers seem to be so undecided when it comes to releasing new ultra-thin laptops similar to Apple’s MacBook Air.

Gaz has some great tips for Lion and since he missed out on the breaking Steve resignation news last week, gives us his opinion this week.

Jobs CEO No More

A sad beginning to the show. After Gaz and Guy finished recording Tuesday, Steve Jobs resigned from Apple. This was too big a story to wait until next week so Tim Robertson (you MAY have heard of him) and Guy record their thoughts on the passing of the torch at our favorite tech company. It’s at the beginning of the show but was recorded later…mind explodes!

Meanwhile some time before that, a rare East Coast earthquake shakes things up for Guy and he seems a little more brain scattered than usual, but fortunately Gaz is there to keep him on the straight and narrow. The whole HP/WebOS thing whets some mention along with updates, Mac App Store pricing, oddly shaped German Tablets, and Orangoutangs. How is Version and Auto-Save different? We have to stop the show to find out and Gaz FINALLY gets a People’s Pick (or three). Guy cuts a bit of himself out of the show because he basically gave away Gaz’s Contest…BAD GUY!

Larry Grinnell (Guy’s brother) join the GMen in a spirited and long debate about Google’s purchase of Motorola’s Mobility branch and Gaz’s brother rides something called the “Flying Fish of Cowes”. Gaz isn’t happy there’s been no People’s Picks for Apps and he just might track each and every one of you down unless you comply. Also another chance for one of those oh so wonderful WOOTie Awards and is that a banana in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

Guy and Gaz attempt to do the impossible! Which is record a podcast with no working software on Guy’s computer. Fortunately Gaz hasn’t upgraded to Lion on his production machine (like Guy did and shouldn’t have) so they recorded from his computer. Guy feels ashamed (sad Guy face). Reggie Ashworth maker of AppDelete and VidConvert comes on the show from the Philippines making this a truly world-wide affair! LOT’S of feedback from our great listeners and they talk a bit about the new gear from Apple, getting Lion (whether you should or not is open for debate) on your Mac and a few of the problems that we had.

Guy is back from Ohio so the GMen are right on the job! We find out who Herbert Stein is and why he just can’t continue, Guy sells his Mac Mini at a fantastic price that no one else can get (but tells you what it is anyway). They’re then joined by Mark Schulman from MultiEducator Inc to talk about his American History app for iOS called Revolutionary War which leads into a short argument over whether independence from the UK was a good idea or not. More iCloud and Final Cut Pro X talk and Apples scores in a BIG way in Asia!

No App picks this week as we’re too geared up for Lion (roar snarl!)

Gaz and Guy are ALL over the map tonight (well more so than usual). Guy had an interview with Allison Sheridan over at the Nosilla Podcast at Podfeet.com and Gaz did a video review over at the Tech Lounge. Guy’s Brother Bill comes on to talk about how he self-published his book called Stealing Ali. It started with Paper and pen, and finished on a Mac! Talk about a long strange trip. Apple releases Final Cut Pro X, Motion, and Compressor for simply ridiculous prices! Lastly some analyst writes a 49 page document saying the iPad will RULE FOREVER! Um…what?

Skype seriously disliked us tonight with Volume issues and hisses. But we soldered on and had a great time talking about all kinds of stuff and LOT’S of great feedback from out terrific listeners! We got our 50th FaceBook Liker (is that even a word?), talked about DropBox, and Actor Richard Dreyfuss was kind enough to read the iTunes EULA for us…um what? iWeb may be history and Gaz is not happy about it. iTunes Match gets a going over and Guy can’t end the show worth a darn.
