Brett had a sad saga of MacBook Air performance woes to tell -- his machine refused to run on two cores under moderate load, apparently a thermal management feature run amuck, and it's going back to the mothership now (read the details here). We also ran through the iPhone 3G rumors with a coarse-toothed comb. You can download direct, listen in your browser or subscribe to the TalkShoe feed in iTunes. For this coming Sunday's show (4/13), we're going to be talking about parents, kids and the Mac with Dave Caolo and hopefully some special guests. We'd love to get your suggestions and recommendations for the best educational software, kid-friendly peripherals and utilities, art and music tools for tots, and more. If you'd like to contribute your picks and pans, you can comment below or use our handy PBwiki page (you'll need a login, so just comment that you want to help out and I'll send you an invite). If you're wondering how to introduce your tots to computers or whether content filtering/parental controls really work as advertised, call in and we'll talk.

The way I understand it, think of it not just as downloadable directions, but also a kind of real-world tour. There is even mention of episodic content delivered via RSS. Like many Apple patents, there's no indication (or even suggestion) that anything like this would ever see the light of day, but it does tell us that Apple is looking at doing more with marrying their hardware with maps software, just like the great improvements we saw in the iPhone's 1.1.3 update. Hardly a surprise, too, that a company so strongly turning towards portable computing is thinking about the needs of portable users. But a cool idea nevertheless, and it also confirms that Apple sees the iTS's podcast model as a strong and easy way of quickly distributing content of all kinds.

They cover the issue with other headlines in the beginning of the show, and Mike catches Amber when feigning interest in trying out Vista on her Mac. Way to keep her on 'er toes, Mike, and thanks to CommandN for our 15 seconds! I, however, am feeling a bit more adventurous, and I have an 'Install Vista on your Intel Mac' how-to post in the works. Dan Pourhadi did Vista on his MBP back in June, but he had to go the nasty route by deleting his EFI partition which, in addition to causing other problems, impairs Boot Camp's ability to reclaim the Windows partition it creates for Mac OS X. I've managed to get this latest build installed cleanly through Boot Camp, and I assure you: no partitions were harmed in the installation of Vista on my MacBook Pro. My how-to post will offer some gotchas to look out for and tips to get things running as smoothly as possible. Stay tuned. Permalink | Email this | Comments
