YML News

I spoke to David Day, author of "Utah's Incredible Backcountry Trails" about the iPhone app he worked on called "Utah's Incredible Backcountry: Zion, Bryce and Capitol Reef" from TalkingRockies.com.

We talked about hiking in general and hiking the beautiful National Parks of Utah specifically and David explains how these iPhone apps can make your hikes even more enjoyable!

During last month's Macworld Expo, I did an interview with Jonathan Bradley of Mophie about their Juice Pack Air. I enjoyed the interview and enjoyed using the very stylish external battery case with my iPhone.

Now, after a month of use, I've created the very first YML Video Review of the Mophie Juice Pack Air!

Rob Enderle has been wonderfully, consistently wrong on all things Apple for many years. This time he tries to take a bite out of the iPad. Unfortunately, his thoughts, conclusions, opinions and even writing cry out for corrective action.

This latest Special Comment is that action! :)

Thanks to LensProToGo, I was able to use the amazing Nikon D3s on our Macworld Expo San Francisco 2010 trip. Here is a video of some of my favorite shots and a little bit of discussion about them.

There are actually two videos. This one is considerably smaller but is a faster download and this one is large enough that you can see some of the detail in the images.

If you'd like to take an even closer look at the photos, check out our Flickr Feed for these "Best of..." shots.

I had the chance today to talk to Engadget's Senior Associate Editor, Nilay Patel about their 2009 Engadget Awards! The video linked below is the full version:

The above link also includes videos formatted for your iPhone and iPod touch!

If you'd like to tune in to the Audio Only version, you can find it on the iTunes Store here.

All the Your Mac Life videos will now also be located in the iTunes Store. You can subscribe or watch them directly by clicking this link.

We hope you enjoy them and, as always, appreciate your thoughts and comments.

The silly people at TUAW.com invited me to appear on the TalkCast last night. We had a very interesting discussion about Macworld Expo that degenerated into talking about boobs....actually...pretty typical stuff, coming from me. :)

Apple has begun pulling "objectionable content" from the Apple App Store. Watch the video below to get the YML take on it.

The nice boys at The Brian and Mike Show asked me to appear on their show to talk about Macworld Expo. I had a lot of fun doing the interview but, fair warning: Brian and Mike allow a lot more "language" latitude than I get away with on the Your Mac Life show. :)

You can listen to the segment here. We hope you enjoy it!

My thoughts on this past week's Macworld Expo, an Expo I'm calling "Version 4 - The Conversation". Watch to see YML's thoughts.

Three more sleeps to go - are you getting excited for Macworld Expo!?

We certainly are - if only because, while Your Mac Life isn't doing the "YML Rocks Expo!" Party this year, we still found an excuse to get together with friends and colleagues.

Thanks to Boinx Software, Smile on My Mac, SoftPress and Rogue Amoeba, YML will host a (very) informal party on the Wednesday (February 10th) evening before the show floor!

There will be prizes, drink specials, a trivia contest and lots more. Pictures will be taken, interviews will be done and much frivolity will be had!
