60 Billion worth of Truffles!
MyMac Podcast 329

Steve Jobs takes a leave of absence and Apple announces their quarterly results for the 1st quarter of 2011 which adds up to a LOT of Italian white Alba Truffles! We also have some great audio feedback from Scott (Pocket Sized Podcast) Willsey and Tim (TechFan) Robertson about Nuking Verizon…or something like that. We’re also giving away a few Mac App bundles courtesy of AppSumo!

iPad Theft, iTunes, and eBooks
TechFan #14

Tim and David discuss adventures in catching iPad thieves. Or, more appropriately, Tim’s stupidity on said subject. iTunes turns ten years old, and we look back on a decade of ups and downs with the venerable software. Finally, Tim falls in love with Kindle! Or at least the software and book selection, and even has a ebook recommendation for you!

App Stores and ViPhones
MyMac Podcast 328

A longer show than normal (normal being a relative term with the GMen) but filled with great stuff! We totally botch telling someone how to do a Nuke and Pave and can’t find a Spanish Dictation program to save our life. We LOVE the Mac App Store but have a very odd way of showing it, and talk about how the Verizon iPhone may be a big deal in the US, but it’s a been there and done that most other places.

In the Tumbleweeds

Allison Sheridan from the NosillaCast Podcast at Podfeet.com joins the GMen for a ROCKING Christmas show!

GMen – Copyright 2010
MyMac Podcast 323

A great interview with IDG’s Paul Kent about what’s going on with Macworld 2011. Also, the GMen finally get the answer the whole world has been waiting for! How DO you pronounce Elisa Pacelli’s name? We’re threatened with a Cease and Desist over our name…or ARE we? Throw in some teenaged angst and adult angst over the Mac App Store (I’m sure there’s a difference somewhere) and you’ve got a longer than normal show.

Out of Gaz
MyMac Podcast 322

Gaz couldn’t make it this week so Scott Willsey and Owen Rubin fellow writers at MyMac.com step up to the plate!

We talk about some of the options for remote desktop software and give some applications a quick review!

The most contentious episode of TechFan to date, as Tim Robertson, David Cohen, and special guest Owen Rubin discuss the role of government in Technology and the Internet.

MyMac Podcast 320 – Listener Invite John Blagden

A long and winding show across the universe of Mac Topics. John Blagden joins the G-Men and gives us quite a lesson on what Mac Pros want from their hardware, ESPECIALLY the now-canceled XServe. Gaz seeks and finds some help for his MacBook and Guy has grown to hate his current iMac for NOT running GarageBand properly. The Beatles are now on iTunes and after all this time, how big a deal is it really?
