Insanely Great Show - Mac mini, MacBook Air, OS X Lion, Netflix Rage + More (Podcast)

[MmeTelerama]

since when are we allowed to put hour long videos on youtube?

[avlisk]

Hi, guys. What's the big deal with a back lighted keyboard? My keyboard on my MacBook has a big, 13" screen that lights up the entire keyboard. Why duplicate what must be a battery drain? Just looking for the rationale. Thanks.

[UEGGOTH]

What I love about Netflix is this: I live in Puerto Rico. When Netflix started, we payed the fee and we had unlimited dvd's and streaming. For some reason, Netflix stopped letting us stream and all of a sudden, we couldn't even watch movies on the computer. They said we weren't part of the USA. What I love is, if u want Netflix here, u have to pay the whole fee and u can only get dvd's in the mail. I find that to b unfair cuz if they take our money, they should at least give us the same shit!

[geensteen]

hahaha 7 ppl in the chat?

[richardpatrick32123]

Great show as usual - looking forward to next week's show. Still can't decide if I wanna get Lion :-/

I have a new level of respect for you - I LOVED Airwolf!

[Jferrari427]

Lower third graphics are visually annoying when it's always display

[Jferrari427]

Excellent show as always.

[grahamabeast]

its 101 degrees in massachusetts and my air conditioner broke XD

[brettgoudy]

best part i got from this, as a new today Mac OS X Lion user... that you can change the scroll back to how it was in 10.6...

oh and mike!! ps--I remember you complaining about the side bar disappearing, in the launch of Lion, it doesn't disappear on you, it's always there on the side as it normally is and was, that must have been a change from developers beta run

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

@brettgoudy oh, really? That's interesting. I assume you can still set it to disappear, but that to me is a better default.

[Neb4444]

@wwwinsanelygreatmac I've installed Lion on multiple macs and i can confirm that if you have a laptop or a iMac with a magic touchpad or magic mouse it disappears by default. If you don't have a touch device plugged in it doesn't disappear.

[WarpeaceWar6]

@Neb4444 you can change it to your own preference though

[Neb4444]

@WarpeaceWar6 obviously I'm just saying what the default settings are and how they are dependent on what you have connected

[WarpeaceWar6]

@Neb4444 oh well...i welcome the new scrollbar but whatever...can see complaints

[gmaster45612374]

The making out thing scared me.

[oliverumy]

@gmaster45612374 lool

[MrYamakasi]

I have used Lion since the release and I find it really nice. Seems very stable and overall it works great. And the backlit keyboard on the new airs is awesome, i really missed that on the old one.

[iAppleHelp]

I believe that its good we are moving away from CD's/DVD's. Of course, it is inconvenient, but its time to move on. This technology is dying, and its time for us to move more and more to the cloud. (Of course that brings other problems, but its a evolutionary need)

As always, amazing show, however I have noticed that you don't post links of websites (such as the wiki one) in the description box. would it be possible to do it in future?

[iwales100]

[STUDIOaraikenta]

The knock-off stores are in China, not Japan. If you read the article carefully, that's what it says.

[snakex8]

[scrumsguy]

[FreddyandTania]

would upgrading my MBP from 4 to 8gb of ram be worth it? would i notice the difference?

[iAdamSmith]

[TheTechDogs]

[Niloc1922]

[TheTechDogs]

You can make a bootable backup

[scrumsguy]

i would be excited to see a touch screen mac, but i wouldnt want to see the fingerprints all the time, like on my ipad

[iAppleiTech]

What the heck is the Server?

[strickmans]

apple scam

[TheTechDogs]

My friend use Premiere Pro and he said that the eyedropper tool is not working since he upgraded to Lion

[strickmans]

lion is slower

[bob82156]

they have published a patent for them i think @ciretos

[TheTechDogs]

this is such a great subject we are talking about in this chat

[ReviewCentralHD]

I love going back and forth on safari

[ciretos]

Maybe Apple is preparing for touch screen Macs....

[strickmans]

pefer SL

[coddude196]

no no no wait, prostitution is illegal..."renting girlfriends" isnt

[iTJreviews]

lol!

[bob82156]

i saw that lol

[iAppleiTech]

:D

[strickmans]

scrolling was mess

[iAppleiTech]

OS X 10.8 Nyancat

[coddude196]

Legal prostitution ;D

[TheTechDogs]

Thats basicly a hoocker

[iTJreviews]

:P

[iTJreviews]

renting girlfriend = prostitution ;)

[scrumsguy]

haha

[IceNocturnalMyth]

Mac Mini or Macbook Pro?

[NateForGod]

[iTJreviews]

Insanely great lending library

[iTJreviews]

IGLL FTW :D

[TheTechDogs]

Mike you said on twitter that they could "bite your ass"

[iAppleiTech]

they are talking about Netflix

[phucvientran1998]

I just joined. What's going on?

[NateForGod]

ou could always make that kind of arguement on almost everythig

[Bigglz32]

streamings only good for tv shows

[NateForGod]

people could also go without cable and buy other stuff for 300 ect.

[TheTechDogs]

The Apple TV

[bob82156]

or apple...lol

[iAppleiTech]

I could get a lot of stuff for 96 bucks

[TheTechDogs]

yoouu need to get this copywriter Brian

[iAppleiTech]

8x12= 96 bucks a year

[scrumsguy]

still, this is $8 we are talking about. I dont think we're all thaaat strapped for cash

[iAppleiTech]

Netflix is taking advantage of their customers

[TheTechDogs]

@iAppleiTech I agree

[NateForGod]

and redbox charges 1.50 for them

[TheTechDogs]

Your pimping out

[NateForGod]

well bluray does cost 1.5x more then sd

[iAppleiTech]

lol

[TheTechDogs]

You can tell brian is about to say something funny when he has his arm up and is neck up

[scrumsguy]

it still costs netflix more to buy the disc

[iTJreviews]

They've even taken one of my favorite TV shows, Crank Yankers, off there >:(

[Bigglz32]

I would hope the selection increases

[coddude196]

My sister pays for my Netflix so all I can use is the streaming, so I'm pretty used to it. But it's a shame how expensive it is :(

[TheTechDogs]

Blockbuster really

[scrumsguy]

i love the netflix streaming, but if they dont have what I want, I just torrent the stuff, but it does take more work

[TekBeatTV]

But the problem is they now separated the two services so you essentially pay double lame :(.

[TheTechDogs]

I heard it is

[theT3chbr0th3r5]

hello everybody!

[iTJreviews]

awesome!

[iTJreviews]

hey arnold is on netflix?????

[TekBeatTV]

I'll keep Netflix for the time being, hopefully the selection increases.

[TheTechDogs]

I really want Netflix so I can watch some old classic TV shows like Hey Arnold

[coddude196]

TV shows is good on Netflix, but some old movies that aren't on there just piss me off

[iAppleiTech]

Again I only use Netflix for TV shows...

[coddude196]

I love my Netflix, but eventually something is gonna come out that has all the old stuff which is gonna kill Netflix...it's only a matter of time

[iTJreviews]

I just use Netflix for streaming on my PS3 :/

[ReviewCentralHD]

Hii youtubeee!!

[bob82156]

it be better bang for the buck if they updated their movie database faster

[SuperEnigmation]

@iTJreviews welcome.

[SuperEnigmation]

@randomrazr It kinda is worth the extra money though. It's a bit overpriced (I hate using that term), but it does very well in bright lighting situations.

[iTJreviews]

hai!

[rrarhes]

im a canadian and i feel it bro...

[scrumsguy]

you guys should quit complaining, Canada's selection is even worse

[rrarhes]

mail thing is just suxxx

[TheTechDogs]

Netflix needs to go world wide because we don't have it in the UK yet

[iAppleiTech]

I only like Netflix for watching TV shows

[iAppleiTech]

lol ya maybe...

[randomrazr]

@iappleitech, how come u dont think its worth the high res anti glare option on the 15inch macbooks?

[SuperEnigmation]

I never got Netflix, and I'm proud I never did.

[TekBeatTV]

@iAppleiTech yup, it sounds good but I think it might die like buzz haha

[coddude196]

I thought it was $6 D:

[TheTechDogs]

Mike on twitter was complaining about netflix

[coddude196]

I know, but I'm gonna jailbreak my iPod just to use the Google+ app...their Mobile app is pretty decent if I can't get around it though

[iAppleiTech]

@TekBeatTV Me too but I like Google+ just cuz it's new

[bob82156]

too many social networks

[TekBeatTV]

Tracking too many things at once is annoying.

[TekBeatTV]

I prefer facebook and twitter for the time being.

[iAppleiTech]

I'm so mad it doesn't work on iPad or iPod >:(

[SuperEnigmation]

@TheTechDogs you're serious, right?

[TheTechDogs]

Yeah @SuperEnigmation

[coddude196]

Aww, can't use it on my iPod Touch :( But Google+ is great, i LOVE it!

[TheTechDogs]

But in really hot weather the iPhone would turn off and tells you it needs to cool down

[coddude196]

I'm a football junky, so this summer I have spent TONS of time in the weightroom, and I would NEVER carry a phone in there with me...I would rather carry a $50 shuffle that if something happens rather then my expensive phone

[iAppleiTech]

its*

[iAppleiTech]

iPod Nano/Shuffle if good becuase it small, light, and just works

[TheTechDogs]

I have a 5th Gen iPod Classic 80GB and I take it on long jerneys so I can put all my Movies and Music on it

[SuperEnigmation]

@randomrazr I was at the Apple Store today, and...yes, if you're always in super bright environments. Otherwise: nope.

[iAppleiTech]

@randomrazr no

[randomrazr]

is it worth the anti glare option on the 15inch macbook pro?

[iAppleiTech]

What kind of Apple products to you guys have?

[SuperEnigmation]

I would never have 160GB of music

[bob82156]

probably get a price cut

[TheTechDogs]

There was a 180GB

[iAppleiTech]

Ya

[bob82156]

and durability

[coddude196]

I really hope it doesn't die, I have 90GB worth of movies on my Classic. :(

[bob82156]

the classic was good for its strength

[scrumsguy]
