Maccast Members

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 120. There has been a lot of talk about Apple security with the recent exposure of the Flashback.K trojan targeting the Mac. The news has also raised awareness about privacy and security concerns for Apple users surrounding apps and web services. I thought now would be a great time to have a talk about the things we should all be doing to better protect ourselves. George Starcher joins me on this episode and we discuss how to build a layer of protection around yourself and your stuff.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Show 390. When Apple announced the new iPad and Apple TV a big part of that was support for 1080p video. In the past I’ve done episodes with Ara Derderian (HTGuys.com) on how to build Apple based home theater set-ups, but since Apple only supported 720p that has always been the focus. Now that 1080p is here Ara and I chat with Dean Dauger (Dauger Research) about his 1080p based Mac Home Theater set-up.

Maccast Members 119 – iPhoto for iOS

Written by: Adam Christianson

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 119. The new iPhoto for iOS seems like a great tool for image editing on the iPhone, iPod, and iPad, but I wanted to try and get the most out of it. Many of the controls are intuitive, but as we like to do here I figured it was time to take a deep dive and uncover some of the little extra things it can do.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 118. With the new iPad now out the device is seriously starting to transition from a content consumption device to something more and more people are using for creation. The question is, is it enough to replace your notebook? Can someone get by with an iPad as their only computer?
