A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 173. David Morgenstern over at ZDNet wrote this piece pointing to this post on ReadWriteWeb from a former Apple executive who has moved to Windows. Needless to say Mac-fans have responded in droves with varied reactions, including fanboi outrage. This isn’t a new thing and I wish I could say the reaction wasn’t common. The question I have is, aren’t we past this yet?

Maccast Members 172 – iTunes Tips & Tricks

Written by: Adam Christianson

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 172. Like it or not, if you’re Apple user and you want to deal with media on your devices and Mac at some point you may likely need to deal with iTunes. It began life as a simple MP3 audio player, but is now the hub of the digital media eco-system on the Mac. It’s a beast of a program and one that Apple arguably needs to tame better at some point. Until then I figured I’d look into and share some tips, tricks, and techniques to make using iTunes a bit more bearable.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 478. Ever since I took the Maccast on as my full time gig many have asked me about the experience, but I’ve never really discussed it. Brett Terpstra, just recently left his full time gig to work on his own projects so I thought it would be a perfect time to have him on and tackle this topic.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 171. I’m often asked about the process I go through each week to produce the Maccast. I think I’ve covered the topic at a high level in the past, but I’ve never gone too deep into the workflow. It’s time to change that. This week I share with you the tools, apps, tips and tricks that I use to get the show ready for production each week.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 476. It’s another rather slow news week and we could continue to talk about the newest batch of iWatch rumors… yawn. No. Instead, many of you have been asking me to go over Mac storage solutions. You know, NAS, RAID, Media Servers and the like? It’s a big topic, so I brought in our friend Dave Hamilton (The Mac Observer and Mac Geek Gab podcast) and we talked about which storage solutions are best suited for your various storage needs.
