A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 097. With the new version of Parallels being released I’ve been playing around more with Virtual Machines and I thought it was time for me to discuss the advantages and how I use them. I also used Parallels 7 to instal the Windows 8 Developer Preview and I share my thoughts and impressions of Microsoft’s newest OS.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 096. Mac OS X Lion brought lots of new features to the OS and Automator wasn’t forgotten. The built-in scripting and workflow tool received a number of new enhancements. In this episode I decided to dive back into Automator and see what new tricks it had up it’s sleeve.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 095. Ken emailed me in a slight panic and why wouldn’t he? His son had deleted Angry Brids from his iPad and took 2 years of progress and game data away in the process. But Ken’s misfortune is our gain because it sent me on a quest to see how we can hack, explore, and recover iOS files and data all without the need to jailbreak.
