Space Javelin

We're back from our tour of the multiverse of madness, and ready to head out to the metaverses of mediocrity, but before all that -- a quick stop at Club Dub Dub to check out the latest and greatest with special guest, Kyle Wilson of BusinessInsider! https://www.apple.com/apple-events/

What a long strange trip it has been ... but at long last, the good ship Space Javelin has been recalled back to base, at least for a while. We salute all those who sailed her alongside us over these (total of) seven years and three months and 470 episodes all told. We'll be back for a special report in June for the big WWDC reveals, but until then ... thanks, cadets. https://soundcloud.com/spacejavelin/macnn-podcast-episode-03 https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/07/apples-self-repair-program-was-never-going-to-be-what-repair-advocates-wanted https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/07/apples-director-of-machine-learning-exits-over-return-to-office-policy https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/05/apple-no-longer-accepting-credit-or-debit-card-payments-in-india https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/02/apple-sues-rivos-former-engineers-over-alleged-trade-secret-theft https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/02/apples-dutch-dating-app-proposals-still-fail-to-please-regulator https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/05/six-year-iphone-4s-ios-9-legal-battle-may-end-in-15-settlement https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/04/apples-3-meter-thunderbolt-4-pro-cable-is-now-available https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/03/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-bought-600m-worth-of-apple-in-q1 https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/02/researchers-find-flaw-in-apple-silicon-chips-but-its-not-that-bad https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/04/apple-tops-tablet-and-pc-sales-worldwide-in-q1-2022 https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/01/jony-ives-exit-from-apple-caused-by-company-culture-changes-and-growing-frustration https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/06/macbook-pro-plant-workers-riot-over-china-covid-lockdown https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/05/fortnite-returns-to-iphone-on-xbox-cloud-gaming-with-no-subscription-required https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/04/total-war-warhammer-iii-coming-to-apple-silicon---but-not-intel-macs https://www.theverge.com/2022/4/28/23047026/amazon-alexa-voice-data-targeted-ads-research-report https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/04/sonos-releasing-its-own-privacy-focused-voice-assistant-in-june https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/05/apple-google-microsoft-announce-commitment-to-passwordless-future https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/05/facebook-freezes-hiring-blames-ios-changes-for-reduced-revenue-growth https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/03/att-plans-first-price-hike-in-years-for-older-single-line-family-plans https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/03/frontier-offering-up-free-apple-tv-4k-to-new-subscribers https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/03/firefox-100-brings-hdr-video-picture-in-picture-playback-to-mac https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/03/faster-redesigned-1password-8-for-mac-launches-with-catalogs-improved-autofill https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/04/prince-of-tides-series-reboot-coming-to-apple-tv https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/05/no-apple-music-isnt-pushing-spotify-out-of-the-iphone-dock-on-purpose https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/05/dr-dre-lost-200-million-by-leaking-apple-beats-deal-early https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/03/owc-gemini-review-external-storage-and-a-few-more-ports-for-your-mac https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/03/activity-monitor-in-macos-is-wrong-about-energy-usage-of-apple-silicon https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/05/06/first-batch-apple-1-steve-jobs-memorabilia-hit-the-auction-block

It's not just when Alan and Charles get together that the gabbing goes on into extra innings, cadets! Last week's guest Stephen Robles stuck around for a few more topics, and here's our take on 'em!

Special guest Stephen Robles of the AppleInsider Podcast joins us as we head back to home port, cadets, for an episode that is loaded with mind-blowing facts such as: Apple still making money, Google still copying Apple, and the Mac Studio still being really really powerful!

Special guest Alan Perry and Charles return with even more news and stories (including a horrifying scam attempt that was thankfully thwarted right here in Victoria BC) we had to cut for time from Monday's episode -- just to tide you over the weekend until Monday's new show!
