A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 166. – When Apple released the first major update to their iWork suite in over four year I like many of you applauded. During the announcement and demo at Apple’s iPad event the emphasis seems to be on brining feature parity between the Mac, iOS, and iCloud versions of the apps. We now know this was achieved in a big way by reducing the features that many relied on in the current versions of the apps. Because community reaction to the changes has been so strong I thought we should talk about the changes and reactions starting with Pages.

Episode 154. – The rumors are that the next version of iOS will have a radically different and “flatter” look thanks to the hand and influence of Sir Jony Ive, but what about the functionality?
