A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Show 344. With a lot of the news turning to rumors or focusing on the iPad 2 and iOS stuff this week I was starting to feel like I really needed to get my Mac geek on. I decided to invite the guys from RetroMaccast over to have a talk about some of the great old Mac systems and technology and about how we might bring those back into our lives. It was a fun and informative trip back to the Mac.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 074. In iTunes 9 Apple added a feature called Home Sharing. Slowly they have been expanding on and improving the feature and with iOS 4.3 they brought it to our iDevices. By sprinkling in integration with other technologies, like Air Play, Home Sharing has been getting more and more useful. Due to the improvements I’ve noticed it slowly integrating more tightly into my iLife. In this episode I look at this new feature, how I’m using it, and share some tips and tricks you may have missed.

I was doing some testing of the camera in the new iPad 2 and had this strange artifact start showing up on the sensor. It seems to be triggered by bright white points. I’m not sure at the moment if it is a defect or simply a shortcoming of the low end camera sensor Apple is using in the iPad 2. I get the effect in both video and stills. If you are experiencing similar issues or are a smart camera sensor engineer and know what’s causing this, please post in the comments or shoot an email my way (maccast at gmail dot com).
You can catch me on the latest MacJury podcast (iTunes) chatting about the iPad 2 with judge Chuck Joiner and a gallery of Mac pundits. The panel included Chuck, Victor Cajiao, Jeff Gamet, Pat Fauquet, Nancy Gravley, Don McAllister, Terry White and myself and we discussed our buying experiences and early impressions of the new device.
