MacBreak Weekly 167: Skittles And Beer

by Jonathan Downin in Tech815 days ago

Things have been quiet on the Apple front over the past few weeks, and that trend continues here. Leo starts this one with an interview with Paul Kent of Macworld Expo. Leo will be among 3 big guest speakers next February including David Pogue and filmmaker Kevin Smith. Microsoft recently opened their first retail store an a video has hit the web showing a display of “spontaneous dancing” by the store employees. It appears that this is a play to make the store experience fun, but it ends up being completely awkward. After some time with...

MacBreak Weekly 140: The $30,000 Question

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1003 days ago

With WWDC just 3 weeks away at this point the rumor mill is really starting to spin up.  One of the bigger ones related to the iPhone is that it will feature a built-in digital compass.  This will improve the iPhone’s turn-by-turn navigation by a great margin.  There are also rumors of a better 3.2 Megapixel camera that will be capable of variable focus. A new Zune commercial has come out that is another in a line that is a direct attack at Apple.  They insinuate that it would take $30,000 to fill an iPod and a monthly Zune pass only costs...

MacBreak Weekly 128: I Cannot Confirm Nor Deny

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1088 days ago

On this week’s edition, Frederick Van Johnson who was to become a show regular has revealed that he has been hired by Data Robotics, Inc. and due to Leo’s TWiT regulations will not be able to be on the show in the future. Palm has announced that the Pre will run Flash!  This is really big news considering how people have been clamoring Flash support in the iPhone since it’s launch.  Is it really necessary?  With native apps and native support for YouTube the iPhone seems to be capable of 95% of why anyone would want flash. The...

MacBreak Weekly 122: Macworld Expo

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1130 days ago

The guys are live from Macworld.  We get a great group with almost the whole classic group back together. I think many found the the announcements today at Apple’s keynote to be somehwat underwhelming.  I would have to agree to a degree.  iLife ’09 and iWork ’09 look great as does the new 17″ MacBook Pro.  We are left waiting for new hardware outside of the 17″ though. This means we should have some more Apple special events early in the year though, so more excitement to come. iTunes going almost completely DRM...

MacBreak Weekly 120: And One Less Thing

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1143 days ago

Alex is back hosting this week’s edition.  He is great, but the simple fact is, Leo is irreplaceable. It’s time to start getting excited for Macworld.  There may be a little less to be excited about with this year’s show, but there should still be some new stuff to drool over. OpenCL seems really interesting.  The GPUs in today’s computers are capable of so much more than they are being used for and I am definitely ready for some speed improvements.  I just hope this and nVidia’s Cuda don’t butt heads. Ultimately...
