A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 145. Recent rumors have started a small conversation on the Maccast Google+ community that got me thinking about Apple potentially upping the screen size on the next gen iPhone. In this episode I invite back Ken Ray (Mac OS Ken & Mission Log) to work though some of the rumors and trends to see if this is really the year Apple makes the iPhone into a Mega-iPhone.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 144. Every year around this time I take a some time to go through my Macs and try to clean things up a bit and prepare for the new year. I noticed my friend George Starcher (@georgestarcher) was doing the same thing, so I thought it was a perfect opportunity for a show. Here’s some ideas, tips, and tricks for performing some yearly Mac maintenance.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 143. The past few weeks have felt like the Apple news is coming to it’s yearly wind down and the media is falling back on making mole hills into click grabbing headlines. Between killer Apple Maps and Google “winning” it was feeling all a little too much for me to handle so I brought in a friend to talk me down (or work things up). Either way it proved to be a thought provoking chat with Ken Ray (Mac OS Ken and Mission Log). Enjoy.
