Being the summer of duh fits RIGHT into the GMen’s wheelhouse! So many stories of the obvious and the inane because otherwise, well there wouldn’t be much of a show based on actual events! Motley Fool, Adobe, Subscription services, and new MacBook Pros that neither of us can afford round out the rest of the podcast.

Gaz watches cars go zoom so Guy grabs Karl Madden from the Mac & Forth podcast to fill in. This will make up for when Guy is Driving to Chicago is a car going zoom on his way to Macstock and Gaz will do the podcast with someone else…maybe Karl. Technical difficulties wipe out the center section so they had to do it again, but this time is was better…which is not how that usually goes. Spotify, Mojave, disgruntled employees, and so much more!

A loooooong delay while we worked on some technical issues on Gaz’s side, but we narrowed it down to three things. Hardware, software, or the internet. So should be easy to narrow down from there. Speaking of the internet, Skype used to be awful, now it’s horribly, unspeakably, Micheal Myers kind of bad. Apple will finally use it’s own data for maps because that can’t go wrong, There either is or isn’t a brute force hack of iOS (there isn’t), and someone in Canada can’t figure out that scratch resistant isn’t scratch proof because he’s really dumb.

Gaz is back but this week Guy has gone, that could be good, or equally it could be bad! Don’t panic though has has a guest who he finds out hasn’t been on before, shocker! Simon AKA Serenak joints Gaz and brings some intelligence the the show, finally I here you say.
So does Gaz care well you’ll have to listen particularly to the middle section, but with Gaz’s view from his garden you might already guess the answer.

Next week is the annual report from Apple when we find out once and for whether or not all those people predicting doom and gloom for Apple are right or wrong. Until next quarter that is. The GMen also talk about updates, Irish tax bills, and the UK’s Year of Engineering! Whatever THAT’s all about.

So the GMen are tired of dancing around this, the world is filled with dumb arsed analysts and every media outlet seems determined to give them a platform to speak from. They do the show live (still in testing) on FaceBook, and are very sorry they missed last week and promise it will never happen again unless it does.

When is an 8th anniversary actually a 10th anniversary? Well…never. Lot’s of Brou-ha-ha over stuff like less apps in the iOS App Store than last year, ARM vs X86, iOS apps to the Mac and lots of little things that lead to a full show.

Holy moly, just ONE show away from 700! Actually since you’re reading/listening to the podcast, it is zero shows away. Or something, math is hard. Gaz not here this week, so my son Peter who is the owner of my former Mac Pro to talk about…stuff. We chat about the crazy issues we had with the three week odyssey of getting the Mac Pro working, the upcoming Apple event, and scammy/scummy ink jet printers and the companies who make them.

Which pretty much sums up how most people feel about Apple but they don’t have a podcasts and we do! We’re doing a little experiment by also recording video (that will be out later) that hopefully will eventually entice people to sign up to our Patreon account or make them leave us in droves. If you leave though you’ll miss stuff on wearables, finances, Buffett (Warren not Jimmy) and our continuing hate affair with analysts. So yeah, don’t miss that.

Is this some kind of crazy new math? Have the GMen lost their minds? Well, yes but not because of this. Apple makes a disproportional amount of profit as compared to their marketshare, one bad unicode can spoil the bunch girl (Jackson 5 reference if you didn’t know), the HomePod leaves a ring around the collar, and Apple’s wearable market by itself could be a Fortune 300 company. All this and their usual silliness.

The GMen talk about 5G. A subject neither knows much about, but that’s never stopped them before and this time is no different. Gaz is excited about Apple’s HomePod but isn’t exactly sure why and Guy is mad at his dental insurance company but knows EXACTLY why.Oh and at some random point they talk about the last Super Bowl for some reason.
