MacBreak Weekly 40: On The Precipice Of Potential

Hosts: Leo Laporte, Merlin Mann, Scott Bourne, Andy Ihnatko This week's show notes once again provided by the amazing John Foster. Topics:
  • On the press a puss of potential. Don't know about squishing cats but have you seen bonsai kitties?
  • 40 is the new 30. But don't go to 30 or 40. Instead save yourself and fast forward to 29:46 minutes.
  • If you've ever wanted to beta test potato chips you can still get a box of them from Kettle.
  • This camera might be good for playing practical jokes.
  • Did you know that K-Tel is still around?
  • PC forgot to use "air quotes" when saying Genius.
  • Speaking of fake.
  • What Gore made by staying home.
  • Dungeons and Dragons rules.
  • Phone talk. 15:00 - skip ahead to... wait for it... Flash! Ah, ahhhh. Savior of a billion chips. Why the hell are Harley's allowed to be so loud? Don't take any time off from June 15 to July 15. Keep working. Keep skipping.
  • Now it gets good.... meaning we've past the 29:46 mark.
  • The LED story stems from the Green Peace kids complaining about the un-green-ness of Apple. Here's the link. Had they kept the rainbow logo they could have said "look we're green on top!"
  • Apple Tablet TV.
  • Check out these scary Beer School stats graph showing Mac vs PC browsers online.
  • Cash, keyboard grass or cash. Nobody types for... never mind.
Here's some news....
  • Coda got 1.01'd after Panic shipped 1.0.
  • They Might Be Giants is going exclusive on iTunes with their next album. Why do we call them albums now?
  • The Love/Hate article that caused the PC World editor to quit.
  • All the sessions for WWDC got announced.
  • Steve Jobs is the highest paid CEO.
  • Disney sells 27 million TV shows and 2 million movies on iTunes.
  • Free Ms. Pacman on iTunes. It's only a demo though. Still fun.
  • The chip puller story makes this funny. I was talking with a guy that said he was ripping DVDs so they would play on his Apple //e. Huh? His accent gets in the way and I go ohhhh... Apple TV. Weird that it sounds the same.
  • Apple Hex Wrench.
  • SuperCard. Revolution. HyperStudio. xTalk. PythonCard. HyperNext Studio. XULcard. The not forgotten article.
  • Old stuff talk. ResEdit. Desk Accessories. Switcher. Talking Moose. Alice. Fat bits.
  • Tokyo Train Station sounds.
  • Andy said stroke.
  • Dark Castle was from Silicon Beach Software and was written by the guy that would eventually write SuperCard.
  • Alice was the dumb chess game written by Finder author Steve Capps.
  • That game that nobody could remember was called The Manhole. It was made with HyperCard. The follow up game was called Cosmic Osmo. Same engine.
  • Zork.
Picks of the Week.
  • Leo just found out about Platypus which is a wrapper for scripts. Makes a clickable application out of a shell script.
  • Self Service. How do you search for that?!?
  • Scott is watching over all with Earth Desk from Xeric Design. It puts the Earth on your desktop or screen saver.
  • Life House generates your own theme music. Everyone needs their own theme music.
  • iBat. Nope. iBat. Nope. iBat. Nope. iBatt. Ohhh... two t's not one. Andy didn't say that.
  • Merlin is moving YouTube to AppleTV with TubeTV.
