David Rosenthal is a world-renown keyboardist, musical director, synthesizer programmer and composer. At the heart of his work is the Mac, and this week he talks with Stephen and David about his background, career, gear and more.
David’s career is legendary, and goes far beyond his work with Billy Joel. This was a fun one.
Stephen discovers wireless CarPlay, Myke shares some cool Mac apps and Federico makes a confession about his iPad usage. Then, the guys regroup on the topic of Mastodon.
Stephen explains his recent truck accident and absence from the podcast, Myke has a bunch of app suggestions for Federico and they all have questions about Tim Cook’s Apple Watch usage.
On the Pro version of the show — which is both ad-free and longer — we cover Google alerts, Mastodon posts and gold Apple Watches.
On this week’s feedback episode of Mac Power Users, David and I revisit our revisit of Contacts, talk about the differences between Obsidian and Craft, answer questions about version control and get philosophical about modern Apple.
Adam Tow is a long-time Apple user whose passions include development, photography and the Newton. This week on MPU, he talks with David and me about his various projects and the tools he uses to make them a reality.
Stephen, Myke and Federico discuss the success of S-GPT, the future of Apple’s display business and the next iPhone’s buttons. They also roast Steve Jobs’ office.
Contacts and calendars are a constant for almost everyone. This week, the guys revisit their setups, discuss alternatives to Apple’s first-party apps and more.
This week on the podcast, we go deep on AI:
Federico has released S-GPT, a Shortcut that brings the power of ChatGPT down to your devices and data. Myke and Stephen talk to him about the project and what’s next in Automation April after dealing with some follow-up.
Each week, we do a longer, ad-free version of the show named Connected Pro. This time, we talked about toy animals with tiny heads and storm spotting.
Much of our content consumption is now digital, from books and newspapers to shows and movies. This week on MPU, David and I talk through the services they enjoy and the apps they use when it’s time to put our feet up.
This week’s Connected is JAM PACKED with stuff:
WWDC 2023 was announced about 60 seconds after the guys started recording. After booking their travel, Myke, Federico and Stephen regroup to discuss a possible iPhone Action Button, how people use Shazam, iOS 16.4 and more. They also honor the work of Alex Hay.
If you Federico, Myke or I at WWDC, we may be cosplaying as Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs.
Between news apps, delivery services, task managers, emails and communication tools, our devices receive an untold number of notifications daily. On this week’s Mac Power Users, David and I talk about how to push back against the wave of interruptions that threaten our focus and work.
Myke makes a very important correction and deeply regrets his previous error. Federico pits cubes against triangles and Clippy has been reborn as Microsoft 365 Copilot. Lastly, Stephen starts his search for an heir.
