Everyone is invited to two cool events on June 20th in Chicago:

Midwest Mac BBQ http://midwestmacbbq.com
Macstock Conference and Expo http://macstockconferenceandexpo.com

OS X 10.3 and Photos

Features, does it work for you? Varied opinions included:
– Personally, for my workflow, I’m OK with it. I really used Aperture more for organization than heavy-duty editing, do most of my editing beforehand (barting) so what pics I do have leftover I feel don’t often need much if any editing
– Maintains integration with services I like to share with, primarily Flickr (I noticed that I had to add Flickr to my Internet Accounts, which isn’t a bad thing, but I think this data was stored in Aperture before) and the sharing now looks to be OS-level rather than part of App, which is nice.
– The whole migration this is both clever (using hard links so not to take up space) but can be a train wreck if you don’t have your existing library in the default Pictures folder. Also, per Allison and others, most backup apps will see this as new data and do full backup.
– Really digging having all my photos everywhere
– Got me to buy a 12″ Macbook
– I’m a Light Room user and love it. I see what Apple has done with Photos and overall think it’s a good move. It’s going to more than satisfy 99% of people who use Macs. For those who want laternatives the Photoshop\Lighroom subscription at Adobe for $10 a month is hard to beat. (yep)
– What about those who don’t want to store all their photos in iCloud? Other options? Me, I really like Flickr(yep)

In this week’s show we talked about the new iPads (who’s buying?) and what advice we’d give to people on size and storage and even cellular data plans. We discussed whether the iPad lineup is getting too fragmented with all these different options and why the iPad 2 even exists any more.

We shifted gears to talk about the new MacBook Pros and whether processor speed even matters any more. We talked about the new versions of iWork and iLife and Mavericks and whether we’d recommend rapid upgrades for muggles.

In this episode we talk about today’s announcement of the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s.

Random

iOS 7 due out 18 September
iWork + iMovie + iPhoto – Free on new devices
- No new versions – very disappointing – iWork in particular does iCloud REALLY badly, and integration with the Mac versions is frustratingly bad – these needed an overhaul, not a firesale! Maybe new Mac versions are on the way (wishful thinking?)
- Don’t forget all iWork apps have been re-tooled for 64-bit. Maybe some improvements?
It now makes sense why this was not streamed and not held in a real venue – they had very little to say
- First September event without a single iPod – not even an iPod Touch!
No “Phablet” size option – thankfully
iTunes Festival promotion seemed odd
- Emphasising that they can broadcast HD quality video just like a TV network perhaps – Ahhhh ha…
New Apple store looks awesome
Lots of Lady GaGa between festival promo and iOS 7 promo
Continuing with the laid back dress — Jeans, most had untucked shirts.

Interesting Stats:

700 millionth iOS device to ship next month – that’s a big ecosystem

iPhone 5c

5 colors in polycarbonate – “Unapologetically plastic” – very Apple to embrace plastic instead of trying to disguise it.
- I think that’s what my prescription glasses are made out of
- Polycarbonate is a stupidly generic word – it basically means “plastic made from Carbon and stuff” – your glasses are probably quite different to these iPhones never mind then!
- iOS 7 recognizes the color of the phone and the background matches
Silicon covers – ugly? – New covers not meant for us… For the kiddies!
- Absolutely not to my taste, but they might appeal a younger audience – they are definitely playful and bright!
- Nope, not ugly…very slick and art-deco looking. Play well with the look of iOS 7
- Cases will be made fun of, but the video shows off the contrast and possible combinations that will appeal to many – I still think it’s barfy looking…maybe for kids like you, chuckYeah, Daddy-O…kids like me. Now, I’ll go get some bongo-playing time in.
- Saw this tweet “Hey, wrap that new colorful iPhone in a laundry basket!”
4″ Screen, A6 Processor, larger battery than the iPhone 5, 8MP camera
“More LTE bands than any phone in the world”
16GB $99, 32GB $199
Preorder 13 September, available 20 September in 5 countries including China

iPhone 5s

Silver, Gold, Space Grey
- The change to the “black” phone from black with a black edge to black with a slate edge and back is a massive improvement – I bought a white iPhone for the first time ever with the 5 because that black band looked terrible to me.
A7 64bit
- 2X faster at CPU & Graphics Tasks
- CPU performance from original iPhone to the 5s = 40X improvement. 50% of that improvement is the 5s alone
- GPU performance from original iPhone to 5s = 56X
Added M7 Motion sensor – accelerometer, gyroscope and compass without waking the A7 (a shot at the FitBit class of devices? Precursor to iWatch?
Battery life
- 8 hrs 3G data, 10 hrs LTE data, 10 hrs wifi, 250 hrs standby
Camera
- faster lens f/2.2 <– was f/2.4
- 15% larger active area on the sensor
- 1.5 micron pixels are bigger than before – Lumia 1020 has 1.12 micron sensor pixels
- “True Tone Flash” combines two flashes – one white, one warmer – first on any camera (not just cell phone camera)
  - Companies have tried dual flash before and failed: http://www.tested.com/tech/smartphones/2517-how-much-difference-does-a-dual-led-flash-make/
- Takes multiple photos to find the sharpest
- Auto-image stabilization
- Burst mode 10 fps and it picks what it thinks is best one (or best few to represent an action sequence)
- Slo mo – 720p at 120fps
- 10MP
- Panorama adjusts exposure as you pan (a big shortcoming of the old pano feature)
“Touch ID”
- Unlock the phone and enter Apple ID
- 500 ppi resolution, 360° readability
- laser-cut saphire crystal + stainless detection ring + touch ID sensor + tactile switch
- Fingerprint detail stored on chip only, not directly accessible through software, never sent to a server, not backed up to iCloud and not backed up to your computer – bascially, like a TPM chip on a PC motherboard.
- Phil did a good job explining just how much valuable info we all have on our phones in the intro. Passcodes are a friction point that puts off about half of iPhone users from protecting their data. By making it easier to be secure, heck, even making it sexy, more people will protect themselves.
- Since it can do more than one fingerprint does that mean multiple people could authenticate to the same phone? Yes, but still only one iTunes account.
- Buy stuff via App store (iTunes?) with your finger print.
- No API for 3rd party devs to auth off – at least not yet. Hopefully that rolls out next year. I really want to be able to get into my 1P without needing to enter my strong password each time.
- Fascinating article about finger print scanning for the iPhone by Geppy Parziale who has 15+ years of professional experience in pattern recognition and machine vision http://weblog.invasivecode.com/post/57447455012/will-a-fingerprint-sensor-be-apples-next-hit
Pricing
- 16GB $200, 32GB $300, 64GB $400
- Leather cases @ $39 (green, white, light blue, orange, black, red)
- No pre-orders so far, so there will be the lines Apple loves
- Why pre-orders for the 5C and not the 5S?

iPhone 4S – 8GB free

Jony Ive Video reminds us of Spoofs: http://www.apple.com/iphone-5c/videos/#video-product
– do we really need to pick on Ive? YES! I want to know how Jony gets his beard / 5 o’clock shadow that perfect. We need to introduce a drinking game — Everytime Ives says “Defines”, drink!

Cool seeing Elvis Costello but not sure why he was part of the show? Not really a music event.

The Sale has Begun to Help Tim’s Wife

take2 — Sun, 04 Aug 2013 03:37:05 GMT

Hey everyone, Allison here. Steve and I have made it 90% through the equipment Tim Verpoorten’s wife Alice sent to us (she spent $2800 shipping 22 boxes!) and we’re finally putting it up on Amazon for sale. We’ve set up an Amazon Storefront at:

amazon.com/shops/nosillacast

One tricky bit – if you click on the image or link, it will take you to all sales of that type of item, so click on “used from” to get right to Tim’s item. We’ll be adding LOTS more items over the next few weeks so maybe make a reminder to check the link every few days?

We also have a few specialty items for sale on eBay:
Seiko SNK809 Wrist Watch for Men
NEW Lucien Piccard Men WHITE Rosegold OVERSIZE DIAL Emboss 28104BR WATCH
FirmTek SeriTek 5PM 5 Bay Hot Swap External SATA Port RAID Hard Drive Enclosure
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 for PC, Mac

UPDATE: We cleared $2500 in sales so far, which means we’re still $300 short of breaking even on the Estate Sale costs of shipping to us. Working on posting more items – we just posted a bunch of bare drives, a cool auto-backup solution called Clickfree and there’s some awesome studio headphones in there too!

If you have enough equipment of your own but you’d like to help defray the costs she spent to ship everything to us – the Paypal button below will be dedicated to donations for Alice until we finish the sales.

Mac Roundtable 2013.07.18 Episode #217

Chuck Joiner – MacVoices Twitter, App.net
Allison Sheridan NosillaCast @podfeet on Twitter
Bart Busschots www.bartb.ie @bbusschots on Twitter
Adam Christianson Maccast @maccast on Twitter, App.net

In this more serious episode of the Mac Roundtable we talk about what kinds of things we, as geeks, can do to help our friends and families in case something ever happens to us.

Making Arrangements
– Not just “final arrangements” but in event of emergencies, natural disasters, accidents
– Hurricanes, tornados, floods, fires make houses and offices disappear
– Does your partner/family/trusted freind know where the keys to your digital kingdom are?
– Do they know what it is you care about and would like to see preserved?
– Have you spoken with them about how they could do that?
– Have you told them what’s valuable and what’s junk in your nerd cave?

Backup Backup Backup
– Because something as simple as thurough burglary or a house fire could easily lose you both your computer and your backup disk(s), it really is vital to get at least one copy off-site.
– If you have the luxury of a fast internet connection, cloud-based backups are a great option – particularly those that run in the background without you having to remember to do anything
– If you don’t have the luxury of a fast internet conneciton, keeping an ENCRYPTED disk in your parents house or your office drawer in work is a great option.
– Backups come in two versions – clones, and versioned backups – they solve very different problems, so you really should have at least one of each
– Bart’s setup is an encrypted TimeMachine disk which never leaves the house (a versioned backup for those ‘oops I guess I deleted that 6 months ago by mistake’ moments), and a pair of identical encrypted clone backups which I rotate between home an a trusted off-site location. The reason to have a pair is that if you only have one, the night you bring it home to do a backup, you have all your eggs in one basket – if you do that multiple times a week, you are un-protected much too often. By having two there will be times when both are away from the house (where the Time Machine still is in case the safe location is destroyed), but never times when all my eggs are in one basket. He rotates his clones 3 to 4 times a week depending on how creative I’m being that week.

Passwords
– Password managers – 1Password, LastPass
LastPass allows you to share passwords – you can share your master password between accounts so your partner has the keys to your kingdom
– Printed copies in safe-deposit box
– Be sure you can give someone access to master password for your password manager
– Be sure you supply the master password for your Mac and/or iDevices.
– What about 2-factor authentication?
– Have you added someone else’s nunber as an alternate ID
– Do they have access to your backup 2-fact keys?

Services
– What services are used for what and why? What would someone need to know about these services if something happened to you?
– Dropbox – shared files? Synced files?
– Flickr – photo storage/backup? (not a viable backup for serious photographers, only stores JPEGs, not RAWs, so equivalent to a film shooter backing up prints but not negatives)
– CrashPlan – online backup, versioned backup
– Other off-site backup options – where are they, how to get to them?
– Social media services

Credit Card-funded services
– Cards get cut off…does that mean your service will too? – eventually, yes!
– Beware of PayPal-based subscriptions – they can get cut off instantly when your card goes – I’ve repeatedly lost partial months of subscriptions to Mac OS Ken Day 6 because I had to change the credit card on file for various reasons (card expiry, new card issued by bank out of an abundance of caution etc.).

Hardware
– Label your power adapters with Sharpies!
or get a label maker
– What do you have, what is it worth?
– Organize your cables into big ziplocs and write “micro USB” for example and put them in drawers. You’ll be happier and more efficient and so will your survivors
– Bart has a secure note in 1Password for every major item he buys including what he paid and warranty expiration

Trusted Geek Friends
– Who can and will help with critical data
– This is the best thing you can do. Someone you trust AND who’s knowledgeable

What do you want to survive you? And what will your family want to survive you?
– web site?
– social media presence(s)?
– photo collection?
– how to fund those, who is caretaker (if one is needed)
– Google recently made the first move towards making this kind of thing easy with their “Inactive Account Manager” – http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.ie/2013/04/plan-your-digital-afterlife-with.html
– Hopefully other service follow Google’s lead soon

Geek syndrome
– We have this need to be “that guy” who has the right cable, that piece of old memory, but that crap ends up someone else’s problem if something happens to us. Maybe label boxes of crap as “crap”? (becuase we know we’r enot going to change our behaviors

Keyboard shortcuts are so much more efficient than using the mouse. The only problem: They're hard to remember, especially the ones you don't use all that often. Same goes for things like Terminal commands, Twitter search syntax, multitouch gestures or anything else you can't simply point and click a mouse at.
