Chess and Alan discuss the latest round of Mac and iOS system updates and speculate on rumors of Apple buying Tidal to add to their Music service.  Chess updates us on what's going on in the world of video games from the E3 conference… but then Alan gets to pull a surprise by actually admitting he has played with a new video game technology BEFORE Chess.  As usual, Chess has some technology rants to share… and Alan joins in on the game this time around.  The episode ends in traditional fashion with their technology picks of the month.

This episode is coming out pretty late… so most of the news being covered in Alan and Chess' discussion is no longer "news”.  But feel free to jump in the time machine and hear what they had to say about some important tech topics before they became no longer relevant…  the Apple/FBI/iPhone controversy, the March 2016 Apple Event and what to expect, experiments with VR and Google Glasses, Tesla, and much more.  And, as always, Alan and Chess share their tech picks of the month.

Alan and Chess wrestle with the biggest tech issues of the day… which includes coming up with a new name for the show. It looks like “Dual Booting” may be the winner… but no one is ready to commit quite yet. In other news, they discuss Apple’s latest quarter report, rumors of wireless charging on the next iPhone, iTunes Radio shutting down free streaming, and drones… lots and lots of drones. Alan and Chess also give their picks of the month: Chess chooses “Airmail” and Alan picked “Sleep Cycle”… both available on the iOS App Store! Airmail Sleep Cycle @alanjackson @chesshoyle

There’s lots to talk about in the world of tech, with a special emphasis on Apple-related news.  Alan and Chess talk about the new Apple TV (which neither of them own) and the new iPad Pro (which neither of them own), and why they do not own either of them yet.  Along with the typical Apple prognostications, they also talk about Twitter’s change from “Stars” to “Loves”, Facebook getting into the Snapchat game, and the popular movie genre known as “body-switching” films.  Judge Reinhold, you are welcome on our show anytime.

In this month’s exciting episode: iOS 9!  El Capitan!  Amazon bans Chromecast!  And the Oculus Rift can help you defuse bombs!  Alan and Chess talk through the latest tech news (with a severe slant toward the "Mac side”), but first you have to listen to them talk about their recent computer woes (it’s riveting audio content, we promise you).  Plus, they share their app picks of the month… all on this episode of podcast-soon-to-be-renamed-but-currently-still-called “New Stuff”!

The latest Apple announcements have brought us an iPad Pro, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, and a new Apple TV (to Alan’s extreme excitement).  Chess and Alan pick apart all of these new products, discuss whether or not they will plan to get one and why, and do a little slamming of the Apple Watch while they’re at it.  Along for the ride on this episode is Apple fanboy Chris Frye (co-host of the Footcandle Films Podcast). Plus, there is some very brief talk about Google and Microsoft somewhere in there… maybe towards the very end.

Chess then gets to talk a bit about the video game industry on display at E3, his excitement over HoloLens, and some games of interest.

Have any of our panelists ordered an Apple Watch?  (Spoiler: the answer is ‘no’.)  Despite that, they are still at least talking about the Watch, the newest MacBook, some Internet TV set-top box rumors, and the new Photos app on OS X.  Alan and Chess hold down the fort and talk about the latest tech and Apple-related news.  And apologies all around for this episode posting so, so late… Picks:  Alan picked the “Fan TV” app, while Chess picked “Periscope”.

Although none of the guys were able to attend this year’s CES (Consumer Electronics Show), they were able to expertly pull up web sites that talk about CES and therefore make themselves sound knowledgeable about the new products being unveiled.  Home Automation devices, Google Glass, Sling TV, Curved Television Sets, and a word of warning about 5k iMacs… all on this months roundtable discussion episode of “New Stuff”.

And what about the iPod classic… did you know it was officially “retired”? Alan and Chess know these things.

Lee, Chess and Alan start off this month’s conversation by digging deep into the idea of Net Neutrality… what is it?  Why should we care?  And what did our President recently have to say about it?After that discussion, the topics turn to things a little less grand… such as the Amazon “Echo”, Microsoft Office’s recent changes, some iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite feedback, and Twitter’s new mission statement.And, as always, the guys share their Pick of the Month… Chess: Schedugram Lee: Sidekick Alan: Adobe Voice Your panelists: Chess Hoyle (Twitter: @chesshoyle, www.aisle7studios.com) Lee Yount (Twitter: @leeyount) Alan Jackson (Twitter: @alanjackson, www.jginteractive.com)

Our conversation starts with Alan throwing the rest of the panel for a loop and asking them about their reaction to the Windows 10 announcement… but then things return to normal as Lee, Chess and Alan discuss reactions to the latest Apple mobile operating system, iOS 8 (as well as some of the issues that have been reported), bendable iPhones, speculation on the upcoming Apple hardware announcement event, and much, much more!

Boy, is this embarrassing… we recorded a great episode in mid-August, well before the Apple iPhone/Watch announcement and before any other interesting Samsung/Motorola phone announcements in early September… but have just now got around to posting the episode.  The egg on our face is quite noticeable.  So, if you like hopping in a time machine and listening to three people talk about news and events that are probably irrelevant by now, here you go!  If nothing else, the App Picks of the month should still be worth checking out.

Lee is back in the studio with Alan and Chess to talk about Appl… wait, no.  We’re determined to talk about things OTHER than Apple or Mac products.  Things like the fact that Facebook is valued at $190 billion dollars, the Amazon Fire phone is getting some tough reviews… Microsoft lays off 18,000 employees… we can’t take it any more!  We have to talk about Apple!  Like Apple's third quarter earnings report!  The elimination of Aperture and what it might mean for the pro market!  The upcoming iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite!  All of this, plus our app picks of the month.  It’s another great episode of “Mac Stuff”… no, wrong again.  Another episode of “New Stuff”, here on theMESH.tv.   Your panelists: Chess Hoyle (Twitter: @chesshoyle, www.aisle7studios.com)Lee Yount (Twitter: @leeyount)Alan Jackson (Twitter: @alanjackson, www.jginteractive.com)

It’s just Alan and Chess on the microphones today, as Lee had to go off and do something silly… like get married.  Regardless, we digest all of the Apple WWDC goodness, including thoughts on OS X Yosemite and iOS 8 and the general state of the Mac after this event.  Plus, we try to squeeze in some quick hits about Tesla, E3, and their picks of the month.  And look!  Just for our most dedicated fans, we have put together a nice list of links to articles below supporting what we talk about this month.  Isn’t that nice?Follow Alan on Twitter at @alanjackson, and find him on the web at www.thejacksongroup.com.Follow Chess on Twitter at @chesshoyle, and find him on the web at aisle7studios.com.Quick Hits:OS X Yosemite and iOS 8http://lifehacker.com/all-the-new-stuff-in-ios-8-1584893352http://lifehacker.com/all-the-new-stuff-in-os-x-10-10-yosemite-1584870045Speed Reading Apphttp://www.spritzinc.com/#E3http://www.joystiq.com/2014/06/13/wrup-e3-of-future-past/http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/12/halo-the-master-chief-collection/http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/10/sony-e3-game-roundup-2014/http://kotaku.com/nintendos-e3-2014-youre-buying-a-wii-u-now-right-1590356800Teslahttp://www.teslamotors.com/blog/all-our-patent-are-belong-you

As Lee decides to skip out on this month’s recording session, Alan and Chess hold down the fort with a discussion on the Apple Worldwide Developer’s Conference and their predictions for the event (and since WWDC would have happened by the time you listen to this episode, they may be completely wrong). They also chat about Google’s self-driving cars, Apple buying Beats Electronics, and the legend of the lost “E.T. the Extra Terrestrial” video game cartridges uncovered in the desert.

Google Buys Nest. Do the tin foil hats need to come back out? Russians were behind the Target attack? Where do we stand with social media services nowadays? Is Facebook still #1, or are other platforms starting to gain ground? Umoove Experience on iPhone... face and eye-tracking technology... does it work?

Lee, Chess and Alan don their tin foil hats – literally! – to discuss several technology stories that have them a little paranoid these days. Is Amazon planning on world domination through their air drone delivery service? Target lost tons of debit and credit card information… so will the use of the new Coin all-in-one card help in the future? And what exactly is a “BitCoin”, and how can the guys get one?

Apple released their latest mobile operating system - iOS 7 - to iPhones and iPads around the world recently, and the guys on "New Stuff" are here to talk about it!  What is their overall favorite new feature (HINT: they all have the same one!)?  Does this help Apple compete better against the Android platform?  And is anyone besides Alan having a hard time with the new icons?

It's all about Google!  Well, other things are discussed… but mostly about Google and the announcements made at their recent I/O conference.  Google Music, Google Glass, Android… there's a lot to talk about.  It's just Alan and Lee around the table again this month, as they pour through some recent tech news and give their app/software picks of the month (even though Alan duplicates his pick from a previous episode by accident… he like it that much!).

Alan and Lee put in a powerhouse performance and record what they claim to be the "best episode ever of New Stuff".  Granted, they are just saying that because they are the only two people that showed up for the recording and they want to make everyone else feel guilty.  Regardless, our two lonely hosts discuss Apple (is it losing it's shine?), Facebook Home, what Google does with your data when you die, and their tech picks of the month.  Who needs the rest of the panel when you have the best talking tech? 

Computers you wear on your clothes or put in your glasses! Cars that can drive themselves! Homes that can monitor their temperature, lights, and movement!
