MyMac Podcast 526: Bose gets the hose on the nose

mymac526
Beats? Bose? Which one is better or right in this current cat fight? Audiophilles don’t care for either one but the GMen look at the issue and soon decide they wish they had talked about something else. Guy takes the long way home in upgrading a friend’s laptop and they both are very excited about the next Apple event. New Macs? Maybe!

Guy’s App Pick: FiLMiC Pro by Cinegenix. $4.99 in the iTunes app store. Awesome addition to filming video with your iPhone with great features like focus and exposure locks, speeded up and slow motion, three different aspect ratios as well as frame rates, audio options, many different uploaded options and a lot more. If you shoot video with your iPhone, this the the app you want to shoot it with.

Gaz’s Pick: IMDB Always useful whether you use the web or the IOS app versions the database has all you need for for buffs. Free

Bonus Mini Motor Racing for the Mac £1.99 or $2.99

People’s Pick: From Erick Diaz
Since getting the iPhone 6 (and now lusting for the Plus) I’ve been taking advantage of the bigger screen with some games I used to ignore. This is one of them, and the graphics are insane. When these guys rewrite the game using Metal (the Apple framework, not the music) this will look even more like a console game on iOS.

MyMac Podcast #504 – And The Beats Goes On

mymac504
Rough week for Guy but he did manage to soup up his son Peter’s new (or old rather) laptop with more memory and an SSD drive. Gaz has apps just made for walking and that’s just what they’ll do. The GMen discuss the Beats maybe deal and what Apple could or should buy instead. The whole Dusty story is at the very end so if you don’t want to hear it (it’s rather sad) then just stop after the closing theme.

People’s Pick: Gary Apter likes the Apple Store iOS app and thinks it’s the best way to make a Genius Bar appointment and to check in when you arrive. You can see what classes and events are scheduled and make a reservation. There have been FREE offers for music and apps. There are other things to look at promoting products and deals. Take a look. There are versions for the iPad and iPhone.
