While Dan is busy touching these devices, Lex and Moltz discuss the new iPad Pro (http://www.apple.com/ipad-pro/), new Apple TV (http://www.apple.com/tv/), and the new iPhones (http://www.apple.com/iphone/). You can read some stuff about them on Six Colors (http://sixcolors.com/post/2015/09/notebook-apples-newest-product-announcements/). Moltz wrote a thing about round watch faces versus square wa...

Guy English joins Dan and Moltz to talk about what Apple might announce next week. Probably an Apple TV and probably not a 4-inch iPhone: http://9to5mac.com/2015/08/30/apple-tv-4-200-october/ In talking about what the new remote for the Apple TV might be like, Guy fondly remembers the Open Office mouse: http://www.wired.com/2009/11/18-button-open-office-mouse-makes-a-keyboard-look-minimal/ Second...

Apple avoided having its stock drop by having Tim Cook send an email to Jim Cramer and Lex believes Cook is going to jail: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/apple-ceo-tim-cook-may-have-violated-sec-rules-with-jim-cramer-email-2015-08-24?link=MW_home_latest_news Is Apple renting out extra space for the iPhone event: http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/08/24/rumor-apple-to-rent-out-new-san-francisco-...

Windows 10 is a privacy-stealing machine: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/07/30/windows-10-privacy-settings/ Needless to say, Cory Doctorow doesn't like that: http://boingboing.net/2015/08/03/windows-10-defaults-to-keylogg.html And even when you turn it off, it still sends stuff back to Microsoft: http://arstechnica.co.uk/information-technology/2015/08/even-when-told-not-to-windows-10-just-ca...

Lex is back! Remember Lex? You probably read this, but Jim Dalrymple went off on Apple Music: http://www.loopinsight.com/2015/07/22/apple-music-is-a-nightmare-and-im-done-with-it/ But then he got his music back. All he had to do is go to Cupertino: http://www.loopinsight.com/2015/07/24/i-got-my-music-back-at-least-most-of-it/ Jason Snell likes Apple Music in his library: http://sixcolors.com/post/...

Recurring special guest Guy English joins us as Lex is out striking important business deals (http://www.midroll.com/pr/). We recorded this before Apple's results were announced (http://sixcolors.com/post/2015/07/appleq3results/) but as Apple was having some uptime issues with its online services (https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/). People may really like their Apple Watches, if you beli...

APPLE MUSIC IS HERE OH IT'S SO GOOD WAIT EVERYTHING IS SCREWED UP Kirk McElhearn says that Apple Music will replace your ripped (or ill-gotten) music with DRM-ed files: http://www.mcelhearn.com/the-real-difference-between-itunes-match-and-icloud-music-library-drm/ iMore says that only happens on additional devices you log into: http://www.imore.com/apple-music-vs-itunes-match-whats-difference Ther...

No Lex this week, which is sad because he had so many opinions about Taylor Swift. Here's a synopsis of what happened over the weekend if you were off the grid: http://recode.net/2015/06/21/apple-says-it-will-pay-taylor-swift-for-free-streams-after-all/ Dan has some thoughts of his own here: http://sixcolors.com/link/2015/06/apples-reversal-on-paying-artists-during-the-apple-music-trial-period/ Sw...

Phil Schiller finds Moltz funny (http://www.imore.com/gruber-and-schiller-our-full-transcript-talk-show-wwdc).

Please go to http://podsurvey.com/therebound to take a 5-minute survey. When you're finished you can enter a drawing for a $100 Amazon gift card! We, of course, discuss the WWDC Keynote (http://sixcolors.com/post/2015/06/wwdc-2015-keynote-the-fine-print/). We were not fans of the Apple Music introduction (http://leancrew.com/all-this/2015/06/facing-the-music/). Apple removed the lube from the Clev...

This week we talk about Google Photos (https://photos.google.com/) which, of course, prompts us to talk about the business model differences between Apple and Google (http://www.marco.org/2015/05/29/why-not-google). Moltz mentions Edward Snowden and gets his name wrong but he's apparently not the only one who does that (https://twitter.com/charlesarthur/status/606483046745964544). We talk about Ph...

No Dan Moren this week as he was on an "aeroplane". So, Lex and Moltz talk about their experiences with their Sonos... uh, Sonoses? (http://www.sonos.com/) Right now you can get two Sonos Play speaker units for $349 (they are not an advertiser). Lex has several swear words for Chris Breen (https://twitter.com/bodyofbreen) who suggested he get the Sonos, even though he and Moltz actually like them....

Apple is rumored to be readying an update for the Apple Watch and Apple TV featuring TV Kit (http://9to5mac.com/2015/05/18/apple-readies-first-significant-apple-watch-updates-tvkit-sdk-for-apple-tv/). We complain about arranging Apple Watch apps which is the firstest of world problems (http://www.imore.com/how-rearrange-apps-your-apple-watch). A 15-inch MacBook Pro with Force Touch may not be long...

Lex is...actually we don't know where Lex is. But we have the lovely and talented Jason Snell on this week's episode taking up the slack and then some. You can use emoji to order a pizza on Twitter. But it's Domino's. (http://money.cnn.com/2015/05/13/news/companies/dominos-twitter/index.html) We talk about some of the security concerns about the Apple Watch (http://www.idownloadblog.com/2015/05/13...

Some people think the app screen on the Watch is unneeded (https://twitter.com/jsnell/status/595021309752549376). They are wrong. Here's a closer look at the insides of the Apple Watch: https://www.abiresearch.com/press/apple-watch-insides-pcb-details-revealed-for-the-f/ The next Apple TV may feature a new haptic remote (http://www.imore.com/rumored-apple-tv-refresh-will-reportedly-include-redesig...

This week's episode takes place as Moltz is waiting for delivery of his Apple Watch. While he waits, he might benefit from learning some tips about the Apple Watch (http://www.imore.com/28-apple-watch-tips-and-tricks-you-should-know). We predict that sleeve cut-outs for smartwatches will be a future trend, like double ties (http://news.greatblogabout.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/windowslivewrite...
