We're back for more iPod discussion this month. The device was conceived, developed, and released in the span of 10 months, and marked a turn for Apple. It was a new (but not the first) push into consumer devices with a focus on their Digital Hub initiative. The move would prove extraordinarily successful and transform Apple from a computer manufacturer into a mainstream consumer brand. We dive into the history, our own iPod experiences, the legacy of the music player that changed the world, and more!

This is the big one folks! That's right it's the introduction of the iPod, that iconic pocket-sized device that changed how we listen to music. We review the tapes to see how it all went down at Apple Town Hall on October 23, 2001—it's a classic JobsNote. It's also the start of the spooky season so Apple introduces a satanic PowerBook, and Matt has a tale of the dead rising from the grave as he resurrects Shenmue 2 from it's dormant state. Buckle up it's going to be a good one.

We get deep into a discussion about scripting and automation on the Mac, Matt waxes on about Shenmue for one final(?) time, and Josh finds a way to automate Matt out of future episode intros.

Get ready for a lazy summer episode, baby! The most interesting thing Apple did this month was release Mac OS 9.2.1, so Josh & Matt take up a topic that they've been thinking about for a while: Apple & Nintendo; they seem similar right? They're both hardware and software vendors with total control over their product vision, and they focus intensely on how their products are designed and how they are used. This month we put those assumptions to the test and see just how similar Apple & Nintendo really are.
We also take a letter from a listener and put the Karnov debate to bed.

It's the summer time. Time for fun in the sun, taking a dip in a cool lake, and spending a day inside a dark room watching Apple introduce their new desktop line of computers. It's an interesting month for Apple; we join Steve Jobs on stage at Macworld New York to examine the next version of OS X (10.1), the final iteration of the iMac G3, and new G4 towers. This is a keynote that throws a lot at you, literally.

The time has come, it’s the moment that every classic Mac enthusiast has been waiting for: the release of Mac OS X. We dive into two very different reviews with very similar conclusions. We discuss how user experience paradigmns have changed for computer users over the last 20 years and why old conceptual models of human computer interaction may not be necessary anymore. Josh discusses the merits of native application development, and we lament the user interface choices game designers make in a new segment we like to call: Get off My Lawn (#GOML).

This month we indulge in a shorter episode as Steve Jobs jets off to Japan to unleash the most (flower) powerful iMacs yet. We discuss the disturbing effect the new iMacs have on us, as well as their lukewarm reception and legacy. Matt loses all concentration and Josh falls down an iTools rabbit hole.

It's the end of another year, a strange year to live through in 2020 and a strange year for Apple in retrospect. Apple kept pretty quiet in 2000, releasing only what was necessary as they prepared for the launch of Mac OS X in 2001, as well as the PowerBook G4, iTunes, and iPod. We look back on Apple's transitional 2000 and discuss how using 20 year old computers have given us a new perspective on the technology we use today. Matt pulls out his Bean Stash and Josh goes through the looking glass as he discovers much more about a lost product from 2000.

Apple kept it's news under lock and key in November 2000, so while they hunker down in 2000 and we all hunker down in 2020 let's learn about the software Stove Jobs loved to hate, FutureSplash Macromedia Adobe Flash. We discuss the history of Flash, it's rise to prominence in the late 90's, it's eventual decline when the iPhone busted onto the scene, and it's suprisingly long life behind the scenes on some of your favorite TV shows.
