Speaking of The Prompt, yesterday’s episode was a lot of fun:
Myke, Federico and Stephen follow-up on Sherlocking and discuss photo management in the light of the upcoming Photos app from Apple. Then Myke shares his experience with Android Wear and the Weekly Picks sound effect gets played for the first time in ages.
Oh, and I yell about my actual age and Federico sings some Justin Bieber.
Myke Hurley:
Today I am announcing that I will be departing 5by5 on July 16th 2014.
The last 18 months have been a tremendous experience, but it is time for me to move on to new things. I have new goals that I want to tackle, and to be able to do this I need to be independent again.
Next week will mark the last episodes of Myke’s shows on 5by5, including The Prompt. To settle any doubts: Federico and I are 100% behind Myke, and we aren’t done doing things together.
Ben Brooks:
This week I am joined by Stephen Hackett of 512pixels.net, and The Prompt. We discuss wearables and how fashion is going to make this a tough market to crack, and diving into the unknown waters of what Apple may offer.
I enjoyed my chat with Ben. We broke down what’s on the market now and pretended we were smart enough to guess what’s going on behind locked doors in Cupertino.
My favorite podcast ended today. Here’s my friend Matt Alexander:
Historians often reflect upon Bionic’s turning point — episode 51 — wherein Myke accidentally loosened his grip on the narrative and we ended up on an odd trajectory discussing nothing in particular for 44 episodes. So, for those looking to see what all of this was about or wondering why “Car, Plane, or Boat?” is a serious question, I’d recommend starting there.
This week on The Prompt, we talk about phenomenon of Sherlocking. It’s a good one.
Nitin Ganatra may not be a household name to most Apple nerds, but he was partially responsible for all sorts of projects like System 7.5, Mail.app and the company’s first-party iOS apps.
Over the last few weeks, Rene Ritchie and Guy English have been releasing a three-part interview with Ganatra on their podcast, Debug. Part three just landed today, but if it’s half as good as the first two episodes, it’ll be excellent. These are a must-listen:
This week on The Prompt:
Federico, Myke and Stephen (Yo!) learn about unlocking British (Yo!) iPhones, visit LinkedIn, try to (Yo!) understand Slingshot and walk through (Yo!) Google I/O.
This week’s Prompt is a good one:
With summer here, the boys stay cool with topics ranging from Apple’s “new” iMac, Handoff and the Amazon Fire Phone.
As a big fan of webOS, I really enjoyed episode 44 of Vector. It not only made me miss my old phone, but Rene Ritchie and Derek Kessler’s thoughts on why something so great could fail so completely are very insightful and well-balanced. Even if you weren’t a Palm fan, it’s hard to ignore the fact that webOS holds a unique place in the history of smartphones.
Myke is an excellent podcaster and a better friend. It was an honor to interview him for the 100th episode of his show, CMD+Space.
The Prompt turns 52 this week:
This week Stephen leaves Federico and Myke to celebrate The Prompt’s first anniversary on their own. However, they have the help of David Smith to discuss the App Store after WWDC—as well as a whole host of follow-up and fun.
If by “fun,” Myke meant to write “burning Stephen left and right,” this show description is pretty accurate.
Myke and I were honored to join Jason Snell and Dan Moren earlier today to record this week’s episode of the Clockwise podcast. To hear 30 minutes of rapid-fire WWDC responses, check out that link. It was a ton of fun to be on a show I listen to on a regular basis.
