Apple gives to Hurricane Sandy relief maybe not until it hurts, but generously. On the home front, Guy might not go to the Macworld Expo and is unable to find his Time Machine. Gaz’s Finder issues may have been solved by NOT turning off his Mac Mini. Guy’s hatred of analysts persists with every stupid they say, Samsung sells more Galaxy SIII’s than Apple sells iPhone 4S’s in a single quarter, and Foxconn may build a plant in the US he yeah right!

Gaz and Guy are back just in tie for something. Neither storms, poor iOS map directions, nor giant rocks could keep them away. They talk about OTHER people’s 7-inch tablets, Apple management shake-up, and why iTunes is a tad late.

While the GMen are off NOT doing the 3 Geeky Ladies podcast, Timothy Gregoire from the ChurchTech Geeks podcast was brave enough to fill the gap. He and special guest Ryan Wells talk about special security set-ups for the Church Tim attends. They then have a discussion of all the Apple gear just released. Some Links: Tim’s Tip. What do you do when iCloud won’t let you back up completely.

A VERY short break as Gaz and Guy just recorded last Tuesday and frankly, not much has changed in four days. That doesn’t mean they can’t come up with an hour of content. The quality of which MAY be questionable, but they had a good time doing it. Gaz gavel Macnatico some information on his home theater setup and they both talk about next week’s GREAT PODCAST SWITCHEROO! We would tell you who we’re subbing for but then you might not listen to the show this week. Some Links:

Gaz gives a great explanation of gonal numbers at the beginning of the show and he lost me just after the math started.which means nearly right away. James Turner from http://www.woodpad.co.uk is on to keep Gaz from mathing out which is a good thing. There’s lot’s of listener feedback, finally some answers on why our FaceBook numbers went down, and fear of ducks watching you makes a comeback! Woo! Spotlight is in the spotlight with a question from Scott and just because Guy isn’t around doesn’t mean there isn’t a Gaz’s Tip! Lastly there’s something about Beavers hmmm. Some Links: Guy’s App Pick: None because he isn’t here

I would love to say something clever about the title, but the truth is we just couldn’t think of a better one. Guy is on the mend and Gaz wanted to update to Mountie (really he did, HONEST!), but time just kept slipping away. Guy’s going to Chicago next week so come on out to the new MacSpecialist store in Oak Park, Illinois if only to heckle him. Also the GMen talk about all this hullaballoo over disappointing iPhones sales and the new Maps App.

Guy is sick but doesn’t use that as an excuse as to why the podcast last week was so weird sounding. If you listen closely, you can actually hear Guy’s will to live leave him. Gaz keeps his ticker going with plist and daemon answers as well as a great tip! The GMen then go into their favorite and not so favorite features of iOS 6. Remember to use #livinginthenow in your next tweet because Guy thinks it’s funny.

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.

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.

Guy Jr gets cool stuff for his birthday and Big Guy doesn’t. He’s hoping that someone rich, drunk, or crazy (or some combination) will get him that Mac Pro or high end 27-inch iMac that’s on his Amazon Wishlist. But he’s not holding his breath. Gz WAS holding his breath and fortunately he stopped so we could do the show. His external drive is too small because Apple gave him a 750GB instead of a 500GB in the Mac mini he ordered some time ago, so it’s APPLE’S fault! Tim Cook has his first year in and apparently some people have odd reasons why they don’t think he’s doing a good job. And what hoops you have to jump through to get Lion if your Mac can’t run Mountain Lion.

It what might be a record, Gaz and Guy not only manage to keep the show under an hour, it’s under 50 minutes! Hold your applause though because you may miss the greatest Gaz’s Tip EVER…well we thought it was funny anyway. Samsung loses round one of the most watched patent trial since Edison won his against whoever that other person was! Some terrific feedback from you, our fantastic audience and apparently in some cultures, hippos equals horses.

Why do people find clowns so scary? Probably because they just seem creepy in general. Hands up, how many of you find the killer is a clown movies totally plausible? Yep, thought so. The GMen aren’t afraid of clowns mostly, but tech behaving badly gives them the frights. Guy replaces an iPhone with poor Bluetooth and finds that iCloud was a bit of a fail and Gaz has yet to install Mountain Lion. A clown was the lead that broke the “Who broke into Steve Jobs house?” case and Gaz finds out that some people have a natural fear of our face-painted friends. The way back machine comes into play with a DashBoard Minute from 2005 and wonder of wonders! We now have a closing theme song for Gaz’s tips!

No turtles were hurt (because we like them) in the making of this podcast, but brain cells could be an entirely different matter. We recording a few days earlier from now on which means you get all that GMen goodness a few days early too! Well until you get used to it and don’t think it’s a big deal anymore. Gaz watches the Olympics through the BBC on his iPad and Guy wipes Snowy off his Mac Pro. We’re both amused over the MASSIVE amounts of tablets Samsung sold last quarter (37,000) as well as other courtroom shenanigans from our friends from across the pond who never saw a good design they couldn’t steal! Dorothy Yamamoto asks us about iCloud and much much more!

Many Skype issues this week which makes for weird audio quality and we apologize for that, but it’s still a fun and crazy show. We ask if the iPad is a real computer with mixed results and Gaz answers a listener’s question about using an iPad in the UK. From there your two favorite airheads talk about AirPrint in iOS and Nik Hall comes through with a “Gaz’s Tips” theme song! How cool is that?

No Gaz this week as he’s off on one of those pesky vacations but Guy isn’t flying solo as Tim Verpoorten from SurfBits and the Mac ReviewCast jumps in. They talk about how it’s Tim’s fault his wife hit their garage, bad multiple modems, and a weird iPhoto Library issue. From there it’s off to Some Mountain Lion talk, the death of yet another Apple cloud service, and bigger iPhones with smaller connectors. It’ll all make sense once you listen trust me!
Read More
Gaz is a bit late but it worked out for the best because we were actually able to talk about Apple’s financial results for 2012 quarter 3! And you thought talk about money would be boring? Not with the GMen!

Gaz’s daughter’s 3GS almost goes POP, so her pop gets her a new battery for it. Guy rediscovers music from the 70s that he had (unsurprisingly) almost forgotten about. They give some thought to a potential smaller iPad that so many seem in a tither about and ask the question, “Are iOS devices ready to become your only computer?”
Read More
Another weird and fun week with the GMen as that ol Stick (or is that stuck?) in the mud Gaz has a good time watching fast cars go around a track and Guy gets a package with Crabs and Penguins. Just listen as it will all make sense soon. Guy talks about setting up an iPad and laptop for his college-bound son. TONS of feedback and suggestion from our great listeners and why Gaz and Guy don’t want you to act like Batman.

Almost had another Gaz solo show with no power at Guy’s house for three days, but the power company fixed it just in time! If this had been Guy’s only problem over the last week it would have been no biggie, but this was just the tail end of Guy’s woes and he’s determined to tell you all about it. Gaz sticks to a more normal life (for Gaz anyway), with expensive FaceTime roaming charges, transitioning out of MobileMe, and another great Mac tip for this week.

At some point in-between about a zillionn other podcasts, Gaz manages to do this one. this is very good because Guy couldn’t make it and who wants to listen to an hour of silence? Tim Verpoorten formally of the Mac Review Cast joins Gaz for the last two segments for a little bit of back and forth. For once, Guy isn’t interrupting Gaz! Except in these show notes which Guy wrote so it’s kinda like…(GET ON WITH IT!).
