A personal note:

This show was recorded just a day prior to the announcement of Steve Jobs death. I was extremely sadden to hear the news and debated on what to do about this episode. In the end I decided to release it as is with a special introduction. I think the best way to honor Steve and his legacy is to continue to use the amazing things he gave use to make our dent in the universe. The Maccast may be more like a ding, but I plan to continue to do just that.

Thank you Steve, we miss you already. apple.com/stevejobs

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Show 369. On Tuesday Apple held their special “Let’s talk iPhone” event on campus in Cupertino. I invited David Sparks (Mac Power Users) and Ken Ray (Mac OS Ken) on the Maccast for some re-cap and commentary and as always it was a great conversation and a ton of fun, so enjoy.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 094. Between Google’s announcement that it wanted to acquire Motorola Mobility and HP calling it quits on tablets and the PC business my geek brain is swimming. To sort it all out and vent some more on my frustrations with the state of the US patent system I decided to invite Ken Ray from Mac OS Ken over for a chat.
