Episode 386: Things we love about Apple and cassettes
Some people have never used a cassette tape to listen to music, my kids being among them. This week Dave takes a little side route into one of his thoughts on listening to cassettes. We have spent a lot of time talking about things that Apple has done wrong this past year in regards to AI and Siri, so this week we change things up and talk about the things we love about Apple and what they have done right.

Episode 385: Formula 1, Gemini, and Apple's 30%
I'm heading off to Miami this weekend to see the Formula 1 Grand Prix and take a tour of the pit lane. Dave tells us about his Formula 1 experience and his trip to Texas. We also talk about the rumored deal between Apple and Google to have Apple use Gemini in Apple Intelligence—this is probably the best news ever for Apple's AI efforts. If you haven't tried Gemini yet, you should—it's incredible. Apple is being forced to allow developers to get payment for their apps from outside the App Store, which means Apple doesn't get its 30% cut.

Episode 384: Available Now and paying for Apple intelligence
Dave has a few questions for our listeners about the difference in inexpensive dash cams compared to the more expensive models. Apple dropped the "Available Now" tagline from its Apple Intelligence page because... well, it's not available. A new survey suggests that people would be willing to pay up to $10 a month for Apple Intelligence.

Episode 383: Apple's marketing change for AI and Siri turmoil
Kind of a special episode this week—it's Dave's birthday! This week Dave and I talk about Apple's abrupt changes to its marketing for Apple Intelligence, effectively downplaying the nonexistent technology. We also look at a story describing the internal turmoil of Siri and how badly Apple exectives mismanaged the entire AI revolution.
