No Gaz this week as he’s off on one of those pesky vacations but Guy isn’t flying solo as Tim Verpoorten from SurfBits and the Mac ReviewCast jumps in. They talk about how it’s Tim’s fault his wife hit their garage, bad multiple modems, and a weird iPhoto Library issue. From there it’s off to Some Mountain Lion talk, the death of yet another Apple cloud service, and bigger iPhones with smaller connectors. It’ll all make sense once you listen…trust me!

Gaz’s daughter’s 3GS almost goes POP, so her pop gets her a new battery for it. Guy rediscovers music from the 70s that he had (unsurprisingly) almost forgotten about. They give some thought to a potential smaller iPad that so many seem in a tither about and ask the question, “Are iOS devices ready to become your only computer?”

Almost had another Gaz solo show with no power at Guy’s house for three days, but the power company fixed it just in time! If this had been Guy’s only problem over the last week it would have been no biggie, but this was just the tail end of Guy’s woes and he’s determined to tell you all about it. Gaz sticks to a more normal life (for Gaz anyway), with expensive FaceTime roaming charges, transitioning out of MobileMe, and another great Mac tip for this week.

At some point in-between about a zillionn other podcasts, Gaz manages to do this one. this is very good because Guy couldn’t make it and who wants to listen to an hour of silence? Tim Verpoorten formally of the Mac Review Cast joins Gaz for the last two segments for a little bit of back and forth. For once, Guy isn’t interrupting Gaz! Except in these show notes which Guy wrote so it’s kinda like…(GET ON WITH IT!).

OK, we promise not to make many more shows this long, but we did have a guest! Tom Schmidt from First Tech and MyMac.com joins the GMen for a lively discussion on WWDC and Microsoft’s new Surface Tablets. Guy deals with graduations, Gaz deals with a angry iPhone, and they both deal with new ways to possibly get podcasts in the future. You just have to deal with an extra long show.

Guy and Gaz record early because of some timing issues later in the week but circumstances almost make it impossible to record at all! It all gets straightened out though. WOOTies are proven to exist in the wild, Gaz packs extra bags for his gadgets on vacation, we get lots of feedbagck from you people (thanks for that), and the GMen go over their WWWDC predictions that will all be settled by the time you hear this.

Guy corners Neil Worton and gets him on the show which is doubly good because Gaz is on vacation and no one wants to hear Guy do a solo show. Turns out Neil has a lot to say about getting documents and other kinds of content off your Mac and on to your iOS devices with Goodreader and who woulda thunk it but Amazon has a free way to do it (sort of, but in that clunky corporate way) too. They also talk about setting up an Apple Airport Extreme or Time Capsule for some of these apps or remote access. Fun stuff and make sure you listen through to the very end for some real Diamond in the rough stuff.

More (and I promise the last) talk about the VW Bug and how it indirectly made Guy sick. The GMen start a little later than usual because of the meeting from heck that Gaz had to attend to first, and his monitors are driving him crazy. Some great feedback from our listeners and someone who was supposed to be here…wasn’t. Gaz thinks it’s his fault though. He makes up for it with some great new Finder tips including one that floats that Guy thinks is cool and makes him think of Tim Curry for some odd reason.

Guy and Gaz back recording together but a few days early because Gaz has to go off to Turkey (OH the HORROR!). All kinds of drama happening (none of which did we actually put on the show because…well…it’s drama). Gaz finally moves to iCloud, you great listeners come through again with feedback, why is Popeye afraid of Bluto (not to worry, it all makes sense), and how many iPads can you steal at one time? A woman in Texas just needs to know. Also, replacing your laptop with an iPad can (but should it?) be done and in this first part of an ongoing series we tell you how. First up, keyboards.

Wowsey wow wow! What a busy and long show this week. Guy performs minor surgery on hard drive enclosures and is SHOCKED he can’t buy stuff on Easter Sunday.

Elisa has a lot to say about Google Play and Tom has an app that falls somewhere between Halo and Microsoft Word. Qualified beta testers should contact him at betatest18@gmail.com.
