This time on Liftoff, we’re marking the 50th anniversary of Apollo 14:
Less than a year after the disastrous Apollo 13 mission, the program returned to flight when Alan Shepard, Stuart Roosa and Edgar Mitchell landed on the moon in February, 1971.

As the iPhone and iPad have become more full-featured, the software that runs them has gotten more complex and powerful. This time, David and Stephen run though a whole bunch of their favorite ways to get more out of these devices.
On More Power Users, we got into the recent avalanche of Mac rumors.
My thanks to our sponsors:
This week on the show, we plan the WWDC Olympics, talk about what’s inside the AirPods Max and what the future of the Mac Pro may look like. Lastly, a report about folding iPhones is considered.

This time on Flashback, Quinn and I look back — in 3D! — at the Amazon Fire Phone. Between its operating system, unusual gesture system and a price that was way too high, it was dead on arrival. After that, we went shopping for each other, picking out some unusual products that bear Amazon’s name today.
Writer and lawyer Jeff Richardson returns to the show to update Stephen and David on how he’s working at a 12.9-inch iPad Pro most of the time, even when needing to use Windows.
In More Power Users, we spoke about Project Titan, Apple’s heavily-rumored car project.

This week on Ungeniused, a sport I never knew I wanted to try:
If shredding fresh powder is just too mainstream for you, this could be the sport for you.
Think snowboarding, but down a dune.
My thanks to our sponsor this week:
From the beginning, Mac OS X was designed with security and privacy in mind, but over the years Apple has worked to make both the Mac’s software and hardware more even more so.
We spent the entire episode talking what’s what when it comes to Mac security, and how Apple continues to evolve and improve things over time.
My thanks to our sponsors:
2020 is over. Products have been released, notches have been measured and an Annual Chairman has been named. As if that wasn’t enough, the 2021 Rickies have been etched into a Google Doc for all time.
On Connected Pro, Myke decides to install macOS Big Sur and Federico explores Alfred.
This is one of my favorite episodes each year.

Flashback is back for a second season:
In 2012, Google announced a sphere-shaped media player that was meant to be used with a TV or sound system. It was a disaster. However, nearly a decade later, set-top boxes are nearly everywhere. How did the market move past a weird Google product to offer a wide range of compelling products?
Quinn Nelson and I have some fun stuff planned for this season, so be sure to check it out.
This week on Mac Power Users, David walked me through his concept of “Contextual Computing,” and why it is isn’t as hard as it seems.
On More Power Users, I issued a challenge to my co-host concerning the future of his Mac setup.
