A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 153. – Wearable computing has been around as a concept for a while, but recently with Google Glass and the rumored Apple iWatch there has been more talk that wearable computing is the next step in computing evolution. Is it? The hardware seems ready, but are we? Is Apple? Ken Ray (Mac OS Ken & Mission Log) joins me to talk about wearable computing and where we see Apple taking part (or not) in the next stage of consumer technology.

Maccast Members 152 – Pages in iOS

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 152. – I’ve had Pages on my iPad (and iPhone) since Apple released it and I use it on occasion for limited things. As we transition more and more into Tim Cook’s “post-PC” era I see myself doing more and more things on my iPad, but so far I think I’ve not taken full advantage of iWork on the iPad. A big reason why is that I haven’t taken the time to fully understand the tools within the new touch interface paradigm. With this episode I hope to remedy that a bit.
