If you like Listener Feedback and interviews you’ll LOVE this show. Guy’s wife has a bit of an incident but she’s OK now (which means Guy is cleared for MacWorld!), Gaz has OCD or does OCD have Gaz? Guy and Gaz prove without a shadow of a doubt that neither have Polyphobia and Tonya Engst from TidBits comes on to talk a bit about Tids and ePublishing

We wish the iPhone a happy birthday with a non-copyright version of a disjointed birthday song and barely mention it again. A couple of technical problems get mentioned and the MacParrot coffee mug makes a spectacular comeback…if someone buying one to make a grand total of two made can be considered a sales success. We had some feedback concerning last week’s complaints and Tom Schmidt believes he’s taking over for Gaz (Not going to happen unless he changes his name to start with a “G”). We have TWO Skype calls and discuss an unnatural fear of Celine Dion. iTunes gets a working over and with the Macworld Expo right around the corner, Guy talks about gearing up (or down as the case may be) for it.

A complaining email gets answered (it’s not always about peace and love darn it) and Gaz can’t remember that 1password (see what I did there?) for work so goes back in Time to find it. We finally get around to a few questions from James about how we do the podcast and what we do it with and Jonny Ive get’s Knighted and Guy gets squat. It’s SO unfair!

More about you the listeners this week than about any news from the Mac scene. We talk about buying used Macs (kinda), the state of Radio (not really), and how to waste a perfectly good beer (OK that we did do). QuickTime gets some attention as a fast video editor and a good discussion on what we’ll do on future shows goes on (say what?). All in all, a weird time is had by all but what ELSE did you expect just after Christmas?

All relatively quiet on the Mac front so the GMen decide to have a little discussion about bigger or smaller iDevices, how Amazon is doing with the Kindle Fire, and what they got for their loved ones for Christmas…SHHH. Don’t tell.

Twitter and email and FaceBook run Guy and Gaz ragged (but in a good way) as they get to all that stuff you guys wanted to talk about. Nitrous Oxide, non-working Android tablets, a face-off between Siri and Microsoft’s TellMe is just the start. Jake Cherry wants to know more about iTunesand backing up and James Myers wants the GMen’s opinion (God knows why) on Apple Scripting, sandboxed apps, and Apple’s take on podcasting. Also a NEW segment on the show…Phobiword of the day.

Only about one and a half months togo until Macworld/iWorld! Hope you’ve got your hotel and flights arranged. Paul Kent from IDG comes on to talk about the new stuff this year and chat about his feelings (what?). Gaz hates iTunes or did until Lion seemed to straighten out most of his issues…well that and a new Mac. Twitter gets weird for the GMen and not one, but TWO new iTunes reviews! WOOT!

Oh those GMen! This show has a punk rock version of the Banana Splits theme, what to eat in Hell, and how Tom Schmidt now has to pay for Mark Greentree and Gaz to fly to Macworld to give us lessons on how to speak like an Aussie! Thunderbolt boots your Mac? Why that could be a good thing and just how well did Apple do on Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

Just as most reasonable people believed, Adobe has given up on Mobile Flash and naturally blames Apple instead of it being because it sucked. Guy gives iTunes Match a go but Gaz can’t yet (however he has an iPhone 4S and Guy doesn’t so Guy is sad). It may seem sacrilegious, but you CAN sync Android devices to your Mac, Apple becomes a top 5 vendor in Europe, and why we’d prefer a side order of Google.

Gaz and Guy take a short trip back to their childhood to push silicate crystals around…what? OH! Not THAT kind of Sandbox, but the kind that keeps bad stuff out at the potential cost of keeping good stuff out too. The GMen have at least one idea as to why those Birds seem to be so angry. Gaz gets all Zombiefied while throwing his (paper) weight around and Rich Lefko wants to start a petition to bring back the “Save As” command to OS X Lion. Guy’s chair breaks in the middle of a segment which makes him sad.

Well originally with Guy being sick and Gaz being very busy at work it looked like there wasn’t going to be a podcast this week. However Gaz delegated and Guy crawled in front of a microphone and got it done. A lot of MyMac articles to do and listeners pointing out some mistakes that they HAD to be mistaken about. Big thanks for peanut Butter Buckeyes (YUM!) and more feedback from Twitter and FaceBook made it a show.

Guy and Gaz left the studio door unlocked, and the podcast has been hijacked by Scott, Peter, and Patrick. Since Guy and Gaz always proclaim each new episode of MyMac as one of the longest ever, this time it really is! We talk about our experiences with Lion upgrades, Final Cut Pro X, and the iPhone 4S, iOS 5, and iCloud.
It’s the mother of all hijacks, with something from just about every recent Apple product discussed, whether it needs discussing or not.

Sometimes shows are so on focus and so well put together that you can’t help but be proud. This is not one of those shows. After taking last week off, Gaz and Guy come out with a show probably not chock full of Apple information but guaranteed to make you laugh nearly as much as we did doing it. Lot’s of Twitter feedback and a discussion about Apple’s Siri iOS program which Gaz has and Guy doesn’t. Some iCloud stuff and Guy talks Sam Negri from MyMac out of buying Lion and that’s a good thing.

We didn’t release the show we recorded last week with the sudden death of Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs since our normal frivolity with the release of the iPhone 4S and iOS just didn’t seem appropriate. However Gaz and I got together with Tim and Dave from TechFan (along with quite a few other people…go download TechFan 50 for the whole show) on Friday the 7th of October to talk about our memories of Steve and Apple amongst other things. Tim kindly pulled out the bit with Gaz and I and we’re using that for the an extra-long intro to our show. Not wanting to let anything go to waste, the podcast we recorded last week will play after that

How do you feel about a Mac made by Gateway…or Sony…or Dell? Guy asks and Gaz shakes his weary head in disbelief. As a matter of fact pretty much EVERYONE asked or that had read the article at MyMac that Guy wrote has said the same. Oh, and by the time you read this or hear this pocast, it will almost be time for unspecified iPhone news! YAY for rumors that can’t be proven but have a logical consistency!

Yeah, we had some stuff to talk about, but it’s mostly just fun stuff since it’s kinda quiet lately. Gaz has a chat about the Liverpool Tweetup that went international with FaceTime to the US from an Italian/Spanish restaurant. It makes sense if you listen. Microsoft wants us to use Windows 8 with everything plus cheese and should you buy an iPad 2 with the the iPad 3 much closer than farther away? And let’s give a great big hand to a rather unusual iPhone case.

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!
