Due to a HUGE error in judgment on the part of Allison, the GMen from the MyMac Podcast took over this episode while Allison and Steve are off galavanting about someplace nicer than where most of us are (the NERVE!). Fortunately for everyone (including the GMen), both Allison and Bart Busschots left PLENTY of content for them to talk about. First of course the usual Guy and Gaz nonsense about what they’re doing lately, then we help out Bart from last week as he finishes up on a Dumb Question he’d been asked. Then the GMen go over the events of the last Apple event that occurred last week. This is wrapped around the creamy center goodness of two Allison interviews from CES. The first was from Octa, makers of some cool iPad stands and then Braven, who created waterproof, stackable Bluetooth speakers! Then we finish off with a Security Medium and Light from Bart.
Hi this is Gaz (and Guy) of the MyMac Podcast filling in for Allison Sheridan of the NosillaCast Podcast hosted at Podfeet.com, a technology geek Podcast with an EVER so slight Macintosh bias. Today is Sunday March 15th, 2015 and this is show 514.
Usual GMen Nonsense! WOO!
First up, a correction Bart over a Dumb Question he answered last week. Because Guy isn’t smart enough to correct a correction and usually doesn’t acknowledge when he’s wrong unless he thinks it’s funny, we’ll just let Bart answer it himself. This won’t be the last we hear from Bart this week since he also did a Security Light which we’ll use to pretty much close out the show.
Bart’s Dumb Question Correction
The Gmen talk about the Apple Event from March 9th. First up is the new MacBook/New Keyboard/one USB-C port/New Trackpad
