On the Mac RoundTable I join Katie Floyd, Bart Busschots, and Victor Cajiao to discuss Apple’s disappearing anti-virus tech document which leads to a discussion on viruses, malware, and phising. Google Calendar adds CalDAV support and what calendar solutions we use. Adobe is going to be a no-show at Macworld 2009 and we discuss graphic and photo editing alternatives. Apple’s “Black Friday” deals (or lack thereof). iPhone / iPod Touch application picks.

Mac Roundtable

On The MacCore podcast I join Katie and Victor again to be part of the Third Annual Holiday Geek Gift Guide. We spoke about some of our favorite products that should be on every Geek's holiday wish list.

The MacCore podcast

A new episode of The Mac Attack will be out next week...

The show is back... Thanks for all of the emails about the show over the last couple of months.

After doing 90 shows of Mac tips tricks and hints. I'm stopping production on the mac attack. I'm not ruling out starting the show again at some point in the future. When that may be, I don't know.

I just feel at this time I would like to go on and try something new... Maybe bring back my music podcast, "The Loud Room" or try producing something completely different. When I do start up something new, I'll post a note on the mac attack web site.

Thanks to the generous contributions from some of you the web site and show will remain online for the foreseeable future.

The one thing that I didn't expect when I started TMA is the number of new friends I would make because of the show. I really enjoyed talking to a lot of you when you caught me on skype or through the emails and messages that you sent and left.

I also got to know some great podcasters and bloggers during the last two 1/2 years. Not only were they helpful when I had questions about producing the show, but they became good friends outside of podcasting also.

This really isn't good bye.... I'll still be popping up here and there on other podcasts and I'll have something new going soon....

Thanks for all of the emails. Everything is OK. It took me a little longer then expected to get settled in after the move. Plus my hours at work changed so I was adjusting to the new schedule (I know, blah, blah, blah) :-)

I will have a new show out by the end of the month.

Talk to you soon.

Other then being sick (I am feeling 100% better) I also moved. I have finally set up my computer/home studio and everything seems to be working OK. I will be working on a new TMA episode this weekend.

-Steve

P.S. Thank you for all of the "get well soon" wishes and good vibes sent in my direction while I was sick. I believe it really did have a positive affect on both my physical and mental well being. :)

Correction - During episode #60 I mistakenly said "command+option+delete will allow you to force quite an application". That's not the case. Command+option+escape is the key combination you need to use. I am sorry for any confusion. Thanks to Isaac for catching this mistake first.
