Following what is seemingly the never ending stream of guest hosts, Gaz is away and Guy asks Melissa (the MacMommy) Davis to join in on what became one of the most stream of consciousness MyMac Podcasts ever. They talk about the new Apple stuff eventually.

All kidding aside, please take a moment to give generously to the charity of your choice to help some of those in need after the recent weather related problems. Speaking of weather related problems, Guy’s brother Larry escapes from South Florida to the wilds of Northern Virginia and joins the GMen on the podcast. Equifax takes a grilling, Apple’s TV programing (or lack thereof gets smacked around, and Apple’s UK Music Festival gets tossed into the dumpster. Just FULL of good news aren’t we?

Gaz’s Tip: Siri’s Big Clock
Need to keep track of the time as you near an appointment or deadline? Just ask Siri on your Mac “What time is it?” You’ll get the answer, plus a clock much larger than the one in the menu bar. This clock continues to update so just leave it on the screen as you work. This is great for counting down the last minutes until the end of a work day or a scheduled phone call.

So Guy FINALLY gets off the road and behind the mic to do a MyMac Podcast. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, some still think this is a good thing. Guy talks about his various goings on and Gaz talks about becoming a decorator! Then more talk about Apple events and whether or not someone will buy stuff. Hint: they probably will

This Week Guy is away watching some Sun event or non sun event I don’t know, anyway Karl Madden from the Mac and Fourth podcast joins Gaz to go through the usual MyMac nonsense.
The first section has a plethora of MyMac.com articles and the 2nd section Karl and Gaz talk about Apple’s new iPhone and the silliness around the reporting of what might be.

For one week anyway, Guy and Gaz manage to record a podcast. Guy has had two teeth removed by an actual dentist and not by someone he managed to get mad at him and Gaz is really busy doing work and home stuff. Also his purple line issue is resolved. Why won’t Apple join the Advanced Mobile Location platform, Amazon wants to make food that doesn’t spoil, and the iPad’s Smart Connector doesn’t seem to connect to all that much.

There’s also solar eclipses and dogs and silly Siri tricks! So don’t miss a moment!

Against Dave’s better judgement, he thought it would be fun to record a combination MyMac and Mac Geek Gab podcast while we’re all here at MacStock 2017! Guy, John F. Braun, and Dave Hamilton all on the same podcast. Next time he’ll listen to that inner voice. They talk about All kinds of stuff, MGG listener questions and tips and general Tomfoolery!

For one week, Gaz and Guy are recording together. Next week, not so much but Guy will be at Macstock so he’ll probably be able to find someone to record with. In the center section it will be the 2nd part of the Stephen Tobolowsky interview! Lastly, Jawbone joins Fitbit in the rubbish bin of smart wearables. Instead what’s left of the company will focus on medical software and hardware, a segment that Apple doesn’t compete in…(gales of laughter)

Gaz is off this week, but Guy isn’t alone as he brings back after only 7 years, Stephen Tobolowsky! The interview (interrupted by lightning) went long so Guy broke it up into a two parter for this week and next. Stephen talks about how technology has made life easier…and harder for actors, directors, and editors. Plus fun time after show stories! Why are still reading this? GO LISTEN!

Well for probably the only time in the history of the MyMac Podcast, you get two shows on the same day! Just not recorded on the same day, or with the same people, or is the same way. Look do you want the podcasts or not??? Thought so!

MyMac Podcast 661: NanoBites and Road Sites

Well the road experiment did work, sorta and we had Gaz on for the first section. Half the time he couldn’t hear us though. So after that, Guy talks to his son Peter and his video partner Jake in creating original content on YouTube on their Nano Bites page. It was all about how they create this content on their Macs. A weird blend of serious and wacky.

Whether to be be smiling wisely and frightened beyond measure, many analysts are agreeing with Gaz that Apple’s interest in cars is as a service, not in the actual manufacturing of automobiles. Bloomberg wants to talk about tables, Apple makes a big glass out of itself with Corning, and sure, let’s give big government agencies backdoor access because based on the current ransomware they’re SO good at keeping it secret.

Bloomberg writes article related to Apple’s growth, but talks about tables

Apple tries to make big glass out of itself with it’s first award in $1B fund

And these were the people you wanted Apple to give a backdoor in iOS to?

Guy’s Pick: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on Steam.  $39.99

Gaz’s Pick/Tip: Been looking for a journal on my IOS device and the Mac at the moment it looks like Day One is the App everyone is shouting about, but I’m trying the free version of the App Reminisce which has an in App Purchase to get the full App of 2.99 on IOS and 4.99 for the Mac, so a really great price. The thing with these Apps are you really have to give them a good try before settling on them. So I’ll let you know how I get on but so far so good.

Regardless of what we say, Apple is NOT doomed. Especially with over 250 billion in the bank. Which we talk about in this show along with our vacation plans (because we can), Apple competes with Square and Venmo, and Apple has 80% of the smartphone market in China that sell for over $600.

So yet another piece of Malware that relies on the gullibility of computer users to infect themselves. Are you “that” guy? Apple making chips, but not to serve with fish, free apps extravaganza, and cutting rates to affiliate commissions is bad! Wait, no it’s good! What does it mean anyway?

Apple patched iOS after researchers showed a website could use motion sensors to detect passcodes. This just makes me think how clever people are! (using the motion they could work out your codes)

Apple Has ‘Secret’ Team of Biomedical Engineers Developing Sensors for Non-Invasively Monitoring Blood Glucose. This is the future and I think a big money spinner for Apple, and I don’t mean this in particular but health related Apps and detectors in general.

We know it’s because we use our phones the way they’re supposed to be used!
Why Apple Is Beating (and Will Keep Beating) Google in Mobile Payments. “Apple Pay transaction volume up 500%”
