Maccast Members 127 – A Great Cook

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 127. Doing a guest spot on the Mac Show (British Tech Network) the subject of Tim Cook came up and I realized that even though he’s been at the helm of Apple for a while, we really don’t know much about him. In this episode I take advantage of the great D10 interview he gave recently to try and get to know and understand Tim Cook a bit better.

We talk about a number of interesting technologies like Virtual Reality, voice recognition, natural language parsing, and augmented reality. How these technologies started, evolved, an eventually found their ways into are Apple gear. It’s an interesting journey.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 126. Every year I take a weekly vacation to go camping in Pismo Beach. Of course most people like to completely unplug on vacation, but being the geek that I am I like my tech and I take it with me. As I set about getting things ready I thought you might be interested in my packing list and why I take the things I do.
