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.

A show with many twists and turns! From a Webcomic artist who had problems with her iPhone Danielle Corsetto (http://www.girlswithslingshots.com) to John Astin from the Aadams Family, we really run the gauntlet with this show. We ask, “Will you buy an iPhone 5 even if it means breaking your existing contract and what might tempt people to buy a tablet not from Apple. OH, and Guy screws up the beginning of the second segment not once, but twice and if you listen ALLLLL the way to the end you can hear it too!

Earthquakes and Hurricanes, and CEO resignations OH MY! A geek’s chain makes the news of the weird along with a tokyo man’s running tribute to Steve Jobs and Apple. 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. When is a certificate NOT a certificate and Apple has a BIG problem! They can’t make enough Macs to fill the demand!

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!

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?

Ed McGee and Reb Bliefenich give Guy a hand with Gaz gone for the second week and we are all ore the place with AppleTV updates, cheap iPhone 4s, 21st century hardware smuggled with decidedly low-tech gear, and there’s someone in line for an iPhone 5, already! Really?

Apparently last month made for the sixth year anniversary of the first time Guy podcasted and with Gaz off on Vacation, Rick Stringer was kind enough to step into the madness! If you want to hear how Guy used to do it, you can go and download the file here. It’s the MyMac Podcast #34 with Tim and Chad and Guy comes in with the Dashboard Minute at about the 7 1/2 minute mark but don’t skip over the rest as it’s chock full of Tim and Chad goodness. Not to mention a hysterical Chris Seibold and his Not Mac News segment. However on THIS podcast Rick and Guy talk about patent battles and iCloud storage costs and neither can remember app picks or who’s going to be on next week.

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 and Gaz FINALLY end all the iHub stuff with feedback from many of our winners AND we record live some of their entries! Saudi Arabians know Red Dwarf quite well it seems and do you want to know what the original Mac ALMOST Â looked like? Google + gets compared to other currently more popular social media sites and is the iPod on life support? OH, and apparently Apple made a lot of money last quarter YAWN!

GREAT Googlely Moogely! Somehow the GMen keep this show under an hour (don’t count on THAT happening too often) and still pack it with fun! The winners of the iHub Contest and Top Camera iOS App are announced, a man shoves an iPad down his pants and get’s fired, and do really have to download 4 GBS of Lion goodness for each Mac we have?

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!

Gaz is Joined by Peter from Upfold from as Guy is traveling and catching up on all his podcasts. We chat about the MobileMe demise and Peter mentions a possible, well partial paid for alternative in Fruux. It seems that the people have finally heard Guys calls for Bumper feedback and maybe they realize how valuable the iHubs could end up being.

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.

No Gaz tonight so Owen Rubin joins Guy and they discuss all the latest just announced at Apple’s World Wide Developer’s Conference. You get their takes on OS X Lion, iOS 5, the wireless syncing for iOS devices to come, the iCloud, and just what the heck is iTunes Match? Lastly, as it turns out, all this SoundBoard silliness is OWEN’S fault!

Gaz’s daughters just can’t seem to keep their iPhones in good working order but if ANYONE is getting a new phone first it will be Gaz! Guy finds a solution to JollyJap’s problem with the Mac App Store…all he has to do is turn off a security feature. People seem to love planking, we just don’t know why. Apple actually announces some of the stuff for the big WWDC conference next week and we are SHOCKED. Gaz asks if we really even need a desktop or laptop computer anymore and lastly, we’re running a contest and you hardly have to do anything to win but be creative!

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.

Dan Wood from Karelia Software comes on with the GMen and they have a great chat about Karelia’s SandVox version 2 which was just released. Dan generously offers a 20% discount for the whole month of May for MyMac Podcast listeners! Just type in “MyMac” in the adjustment section on the payment page. Tim asks for gas at a battery powered car maker. Skype has a Mac-only Malware Exploit AND gets bought by Microsoft. Seems like a match made in heaven. Lastly, we make fun of Steve Balmer, because we can.

For a show that started off with Guy desperately trying to find a topic, they sure talked a lot. Some email and Twitter questions are up first, followed by a long discussion about Apple’s new shiny iMacs (Oh that quad-core goodness!) and another on how iMovie for iOS is NOT the only game in town.
