RMG189 - MacWorld Part 2

Thanks to lots and lots of folks who have been making my life better lately.

My new iPod rocks! Video on the iPod is so cool. You have to check out TikiTV

This is the 89th edition of RadioMacGuys.
Todays RMG focuses on hard drives and includes an interview with Chris Stevens from Other World Computing, a company that gets excellent ratings for customer service. I did a short hard drive piece on the Adam Curry's Daily Source Code, in June, where he didn't take me seriously.

In the interesting web site department, check out Postsecret, a collection of scanned images of secret messages sent in on homemade postcards. It's very cool.

Believe it or not, I get a lot of email from preachers. At MacWorld Expo, we ran across a company called "LiveWorship", a specific presentation system for the spiritual providers among us.

This show ends with a tune (the Popeng Polka) from a band in Germany who call themselves Arschpopeng. They come from Aachen in Germany and say that they don't take themselves too seriously. The cut comes to us from the Podsafe Music Network.

Peace out.

RMG188 - MacWorld Expo Part 1

Some people are still running legacy systems! (From Wikimedia Commons).

Welcome to the 88th edition of Radio MacGuys and Part 1 of our special MacWorld Expo 2006 Edition.

It was an amazing week at the MacWorld Expo. I met lots of interesting people, saw cool new stuff and ate amazing foods and several incredible beers.

I recorded part of the podcast at the Sony Metreon, a high-tech entertainment, restaurant and shopping complex next to Moscone Center.

One of the highlights for me was attending a seminar presented by Schoun Regan on Tiger security. I left the seminar quite a bit more paranoid regarding my system security.

Of course, the star of the show as the new MacBook Pro. I'm waiting for the 12" form factor and for a little more information on the unit's battery life. I can tell you that the new book is wicked fast.

If you're worried about spyware, trojan horses and things like keystroke loggers, check out MacScan from SecureMac. Their newly upgraded product is designed to do just that and well worth taking a look at.

As we were walking home from an amazing party, we came across a group of men singing acapella outside of the Metreon. They turned out to be the Richter Scales, a group of folks who have strong ties to the IT industry. The podcast ends with "I've Got Mail" by group member Brian Rosen who has a day job being the Technical Director for Pixar.
