Posted on May 28, 2017 by MyMacPodcast

Lots of products that haven’t been updated and WWDC right around the corner. Should have been an interesting topic but it ended up not so much. No matter when Frisian still provides lots of entertainment value!

Fake smokes can bring real problems!

Touch-a Touch-a, Touch me!

Apple Pizza, not sure about that.

Apple have added some more video’s to the how to shoot on iPhone7 page.
Apple’s market cap has eclipsed the city of Chicago’s real GDP

Ummm how much time does Jonny spend at Apple?

Just made me laugh Trump’s iPhone has one app: Twitter (Not political folks just funny, oh and by the way we in the UK do a lot of political satire)

There’s always one isn’t there!

Guy’s Pick: Levelator by The conversations network. AWESOME program for podcasters especially with multiple tracks! FREE!

Gaz’s Pick/Tip: So I got fed up of not having a clock on my desk top so I bought one from the Mac App store and I like it, the name of the App is UBClock. it sits on your desktop and over any apps you have running, it has various faces, can be made transparent, you can adjust the colours, whether it has a digital face or not, it’s simple, it cost a whole £0.99p (or $0.99cents) so if you’ve been looking for a clock for your desktop well go take a look at this one.

MyMac Podcast 656: Analysts agree with Gaz

Posted on May 16, 2017 by MyMacPodcast

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.

People’s (TIP): nope

MyMac Podcast 655: Doomed I tell ya doomed, what wait HOW MUCH!

Posted on May 9, 2017 by MyMacPodcast

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.

Why does Apple want to compete with Square and Venmo?
Apple share of smartphone market drops in China, but they have 80% of all phones sold for over $600

Guy’s Pick: Hoggy by Raptisoft games free with in app purchases. Pink blobby ball looking for his blobby girlfriend while he dodges bad guys with gravity defying deafness.

Gaz’s Pick/Tip: Trying out a ‘Visio’ type programme on the Mac without paying a fortune, having fun with Diagrammix free 15 day trial and a pretty good $12.99 (£12.99 in UK App Store Grrrrr) or direct from diagrammix.com

MyMac Podcast 654: It’s the Mally Malware Show

Posted on May 1, 2017 by MyMacPodcast

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? Lastly why are they talking about Grandma’s bottom?
