A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 161. A lot of rumor and speculation has surrounded what moves Apple might make in the “television” space. Some think Apple will have a full blown Apple TV set and cable like TV service maybe by this time next year. The thing is, Apple has a great TV product now and a lot of people (probably you) have one. I thought it was time to go back an look at the current Apple TV and see how it works and what it can do for us today.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 160. If you follow Apple or even technology somewhat closely you are probably aware of the buzz centered around “wearables”. Everyday it seems there is a company or a new Kickstarter project devoted to some device we’ll attach to our body and connect to our smartphone. Accepting the fact that “wearables” the next big thing, does Apple need to get into the “wearables” category? Should it be with an iWatch?

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 157. I have been reading a number of articles from designers and user interface experts arguing over the design of iOS 7. The conversations have been fascinating and opened my eyes to what I think is a deeper understanding of what Apple is trying to achieve with the next generation of iOS. In this episode I share some of my discoveries and thoughts. Turns out there is a lot more here than a battle between skeuomorphic and “flat” (digitally authentic) design.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 156. – I realized that I don’t talk often about the things that I use with my Macs and devices. Occasionally something gets mentioned naturally, but I thought a show on just the stuff I’m currently using could be interesting. This list changes over time, so it’s probably worth me doing a show on occasion just to talk about the cool products, software, and stuff I’m currently into or using.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 155. – I’m back from vacation and still playing catch up from all of last weeks WWDC goodness. After parsing through a mountain of articles, information, and analysis I try to weigh and make sense of it all. From OS X Mavericks to the new Mac Pro and iOS 7 there is a ton to comment on. Apple has shown they’re still on course in a big way and reminded us all what it means to sign the Apple name to a product.
