Memory Protection: Recent Episodes
Josh McGrath & Matt Smith
Memory Protection is an Apple news podcast set 20 years in the past.
Each month, Josh & Matt take you 20 years into Apple’s past to discuss the news of the day, hardware, software and what was different about the Apple you know today.
We're back for more iPod discussion this month. The device was conceived, developed, and released in the span of 10 months, and marked a turn for Apple. It was a new (but not the first) push into consumer devices with a focus on their Digital Hub initiative. The move would prove extraordinarily successful and transform Apple from a computer manufacturer into a mainstream consumer brand. We dive into the history, our own iPod experiences, the legacy of the music player that changed the world, and more!

This is the big one folks! That's right it's the introduction of the iPod, that iconic pocket-sized device that changed how we listen to music. We review the tapes to see how it all went down at Apple Town Hall on October 23, 2001—it's a classic JobsNote. It's also the start of the spooky season so Apple introduces a satanic PowerBook, and Matt has a tale of the dead rising from the grave as he resurrects Shenmue 2 from it's dormant state. Buckle up it's going to be a good one.

Follow-Up * Zev - Feedback: on classic Mac OS, files didn’t need extensions. They used special metadata fields called the type and creator codes. Siracusa has some good rants about how much better they were, mostly on old Hypercritical episodes. * Metadata madness on Hypercritical

We get deep into a discussion about scripting and automation on the Mac, Matt waxes on about Shenmue for one final(?) time, and Josh finds a way to automate Matt out of future episode intros.

Get ready for a lazy summer episode, baby! The most interesting thing Apple did this month was release Mac OS 9.2.1, so Josh & Matt take up a topic that they've been thinking about for a while: Apple & Nintendo; they seem similar right? They're both hardware and software vendors with total control over their product vision, and they focus intensely on how their products are designed and how they are used. This month we put those assumptions to the test and see just how similar Apple & Nintendo really are.
We also take a letter from a listener and put the Karnov debate to bed.

It's the summer time. Time for fun in the sun, taking a dip in a cool lake, and spending a day inside a dark room watching Apple introduce their new desktop line of computers. It's an interesting month for Apple; we join Steve Jobs on stage at Macworld New York to examine the next version of OS X (10.1), the final iteration of the iMac G3, and new G4 towers. This is a keynote that throws a lot at you, literally.

The time has come, it’s the moment that every classic Mac enthusiast has been waiting for: the release of Mac OS X. We dive into two very different reviews with very similar conclusions. We discuss how user experience paradigmns have changed for computer users over the last 20 years and why old conceptual models of human computer interaction may not be necessary anymore. Josh discusses the merits of native application development, and we lament the user interface choices game designers make in a new segment we like to call: Get off My Lawn (#GOML).

This month we indulge in a shorter episode as Steve Jobs jets off to Japan to unleash the most (flower) powerful iMacs yet. We discuss the disturbing effect the new iMacs have on us, as well as their lukewarm reception and legacy. Matt loses all concentration and Josh falls down an iTools rabbit hole.

It's a new year and Apple is pulling out all the stops at Macworld 2001 San Francisco. This Stevenote has it all: "configurizable" hardware, "fierce" software, professional-grade bake-offs—oh, and don't forget the power & sex(?!). Tune in as we give ourselves new nicknames and discuss Apple's next iMac moment with the announcement of the Titanium PowerBook G4, iTunes, iDVD, and more.

It's the end of another year, a strange year to live through in 2020 and a strange year for Apple in retrospect. Apple kept pretty quiet in 2000, releasing only what was necessary as they prepared for the launch of Mac OS X in 2001, as well as the PowerBook G4, iTunes, and iPod. We look back on Apple's transitional 2000 and discuss how using 20 year old computers have given us a new perspective on the technology we use today. Matt pulls out his Bean Stash and Josh goes through the looking glass as he discovers much more about a lost product from 2000.

Apple kept it's news under lock and key in November 2000, so while they hunker down in 2000 and we all hunker down in 2020 let's learn about the software Stove Jobs loved to hate, ~~FutureSplash Macromedia~~ Adobe Flash. We discuss the history of Flash, it's rise to prominence in the late 90's, it's eventual decline when the iPhone busted onto the scene, and it's suprisingly long life behind the scenes on some of your favorite TV shows.

It's Public Beta time, Mac OS X Public Beta that is. Apple scores a coup by including QuickTime on the new Madonna album. We explore the beta and find out how close or (different) the original iteration of Mac OS X really was from OS 9 and we discuss John Siracusa's Ars Technica review. It's a Best in Show kind of episode, folks.

What do you do with that shiny new G4 sitting silently on your desk? You make an iMovie thats what! Matt & Josh take iMovie 2 for a spin and see if it's still as easy as Apple claimed it would be 20 years later. We both make a couple of really excellent iMovies, Matt waxes poetic about Dreamweaver, and Josh gets aggressive with the fans after he lets his auteur status go to his head.

We can't escape Star Wars: Episode One Racer, and oh, BTW, we're a MSFT podcast now...

Welcome back to Memory Protection! This month we peek under the hood at WWDC 2000. What do we find? Well, after a couple of missteps where Matt & Josh both watch the wrong keynote... Not much. When we do find the right information, what's there isn't all that great. Buckle up Memory Protectors, Mac OS X is going to be delayed(ish) and Apple snuck a QuickTime CD into your breakfast cereal.

Welcome back to Memory Protection! This month we wise up, buy some old macs and finally talk definitively about what we have for the last year been talking about only speculatively.

They talk over Apple's future releases and how their product matrix starts to extend into software as well as hardware, why Apple's (current) software strategy favors consumers over pros, and Steve's iMovie dream finally comes true.

Welcome to the 2nd episode of Memory Protection, where Josh and Matt get serious about the show notes.
This week we discuss: Beige boxes, the iMacification of everything, Apple’s penchant for designing divisive user interfaces and whether or not Steve Jobs is prepping the company for a big sale.
Follow Up: * Are there still carbon apps in the wild (as of June 2019)? Yes, but MacOS Catalina is the death sentence for Carbon.
Hot Cocoa: * The PowerMac G3 gets a spec bump * Sears: a store with different departments that caters to a variety of shopping needs instead of specializing in a single category of consumables, sets up some iMacs. Notice the sign above the iMac display that reads “Brand Central”, amazing. * Mac cloner makes a profit even after Apple kills the clone Mac market. * The iMacification of everything is well underway. + Behold! The iBrator. + Nintendo got into this too. * Netscape’s history, Matt was somewhat wrong about this. * Tim Berners Lee, our lord and savior of the World Wide Web is unhappy with where the web is headed. Uh oh!
Apple’s Questionable Design Choices. #shirtButton * Skeuomorphs & Skeuomorphic Design * Dribbble.com * Panic’s Playdate. So excited about Panic in 2019! * What is the deal with the thumb wheel? * Interface Hall of Shame - Quicktime 4 Player * RIP Appearance Manager + Gizmo Theme Screenshot * Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines * The Hockey Puck Mouse + The iCatch
Can Apple Survive? * Is Apple for sale? + From the “yes” perspective + From the “no” perspective * 20 Years ago, Apple was dealing with the same complaints they are now. * There’s an iMac shortage. Is it due to popular demand? Or is related to that iMac factory fire we talked about last month? * Blue Ocean Strategy * Nintendo Wii * The iMac has no competition * Not being a Windows user Matt hasn’t edited his registry in over 20 years, is that what you do to change a driver?
In this first episode of the podcast we look back to May 1999, with a focus on WWDC. Things are looking good for Apple after a rough decade and a very phlegmy Steve shows us his vision for the company. For your consideration: open the podcast doors Hal, awkward game demos never go out of style, keyboard & mouse here to stay, and MacMan.
