56: Don't hit the "Next" button yet!

Rumor has it that Apple will be getting rid of all packaged software in their retail stores. Is the App Store strong enough and flexible enough to replace everything? But does everyone want to have to deal with the online experience.

53: Microsoft Office, no longer the center of the Universe…

Microsoft OneNote is now available for iOS devices! Could this be a sign that giant, monolithic software companies no longer dictating what we get/use? Can smaller, yet still feature rich programs take the place of entire suites? (Seriously, does anyone need ALL of the available functionality?) Microsoft will also be launching an app store with Windows 8.

51: Backups, Backups, BACKUPS!!!

Whether it be network, cloud, external hard drive or disc, how do you do yours? You do backup, right? Cause if you don't, yet rely on the data on the computer, that's just crazy. The process has come a long way, and is significantly more reliable than in the past.

The future of computer operating systems. For all you conspiracy buffs, has Apple been planning this revolution for years?

46: AT&T Microcell

The telecom episode! Dave, under great need, purchased an ATT Microcell. In principal, it seems like a good add on to help alleviate the bad service issue. It connects to the internet and creates a mini cell tower in your home. There are a couple drawbacks, but if it works, is it worth it? He has also just picked up an UMA unit to have a home land line.

45: Apple has 95% of the tablet market

Some interesting stats have come out regarding the tablet market… How much of it does Apple own? Will Microsoft be able to get out from under its own history of legacy, legacy, legacy and be able to move forward in the tablet space? Michael puts out a challenge to anyone listening on a Zune… When[if] Microsoft or Blackberry comes out with a tablet, will anyone care?

43: Back to the Mac

"Tomorrow" is the Back to the Mac media event. There will be no speculation at this time, but Michael and Dave discuss Apple's earnings. 60% of their sales are from products that didn't exist 3 years ago in the market! Which brings up the concept of legacy vs agility. Do you keep supporting the base from which you sprang, (even if it is from a loooong time ago), or do you keep moving forward?
