Techfan

A huge week of Apple related happenings on both the Macintosh and iOS fronts. Tim and David discuss that, Vizio making a push into the computer market, and the possibility of the XPad!

With the fifth anniversary of the iPhone fast approaching, Tim and David take a look back at how it all started, the significant milestones, and how this one product changes the world.

David Cohen has some big problems with Diablo III, the first part of our discussion on the future of television, the ethics of network and cable news, and why some of our one-time favorite podcasts are no longer that.

Tim Robertson and David Cohen discuss David's week-long love affair with his Greece Stomach Virus, the iHome Genuine Fit Case for the iPad, HP and the Enyo team, SpaceX, Airfoil, Facebook stock, the confusing state of PSP games on the PSVita, and the wonderful Because We May sale. Wow, what a long sentence!

A much shorter episode this week as Guy Serle comes on to chat with Tim about FaceBook and privacy. A fun, interesting, and serious topic many people are having now.

We owe Samsung an apology! And a firm finger-shaking Shame On YOU to RIM. In iOS new is RockBand, Robot Wants Kitty, and Lego Harry Potter Years 5 - 7. We wrap things up with the Kindle Fire. It all seems to be Mobile this week!

Topics du jour this week as Tim Robertson and David Cohen go into detail on Skydrive, Pixel Of Ink, The Geekiest Show Ever, the Samsung Wake Up promotion, Sony and the PSVita, and how you can get David to send you something for free.

What the heck is Liquid Metal? You will have to listen to this episode of TechFan to find out. Also, is digitizing archived materials actually good? The original Prince of Persia for the Apple II has it's source code released, and it's David's birthday!

After the last show, Tim gets a PSVita for a first-look review. Then Windows Phone 7 is discussed, and the review of the Lumia 900 by The Verge is talked about. Finally, a new Trojan has appeared on the Mac, and what is one to do?

David and Tim host an abbreviated TechFan this week due to technical difficulties and a storm moving in. Topics include Adobe advertising strategy, dell departing from the cell phone business, the downward spiral of RIM, and Jeff Bezos finding the Apollo 11's F-1 engine at the bottom of the ocean.

Tim and David both got the new iPad, and share their thoughts. Also up for discussion: PSP Vita, the lovely attitude cell phone carriers have of their customers, a dedicated MAME handheld, and David falls out of love with Blizzard over Diablo III.

David and Tim partake in some Guerilla Podcasting, by which we mean Tim tries to podcast while at the MACUL event from a booth during the down times. The new iPad is discusses, as well as digital whiteboards, the new AppleTV, and much more.

David and Tim finally reunite to talk about the upcoming iPad 3, the Concord and Transatlantic flights, Space Flight and Space Hotels, and how Tim lost his British Spitfire.

David is joined my MyMac alumni Tom Schmidt, filling in for Tim. The discussion is centred on Windows 8 for Arm, though there is a very British weather chat as well!

Tim sits down with Owen Rubin to discuss giving up Caffeine, lending institutions not taking money, OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, and lastly Innovative Leisure. Unfortunately, outside matters take hold and we had to cut the last segment shorter than we had hoped. Look for Owen again soon on TechFan!

With David out, Tim records and interview with Ken Ray of Mac OS Ken fame.

Tim and David discuss the hotest topic of the year: is an Eggo a Waffle? Plus, thoughts and stories from Macworld Expo, IT departments distain for Mac users, and upgrading DropBox.

This is day one, so look for two more shows this week, and be sure to catch Tim on the MyMac Podcast all week long

Just how bad is copying in the tech industry? While there should be no debate that everyone seems to be borrowing design ideas from everyone else, is it becoming a pandemic? Tim and David chat about this, and a variety of other topics I would remember better if it were not twelve long hours ago that we recorded the show and when I am typing this up. Oh, and Mr. Cohen never did send me that link for Dungeon Raid, so I had to spend at LEAST forty-five seconds looking it up myself! I know, right?
