MacBreak Weekly: "iPhone Home"

MacBreak Logo

MacBreak Weekly 11: iPhone Home

Hosts: Leo Laporte, Amber MacArthur, Scott Bourne, and Merlin Mann

The iPhone starts to look like the real thing, and Scott Rejoices. iPod celebrated five years… with a Windows Virus. And dating tips from Steve Jobs.

Running time: 1:22:45

Amber has a fanboy in “Alejandro” (the Spanish webmaster for North Korea), Scott’s beside himself about the iPhone rumors, everyone joins in on a very unkind blanket party about what a girl I am, and I get to cuss all I want. Which is awesome.

I was listening to it...

I was listening to it on a long bus ride and falling asleep to Leo’s voice as he was talking about pzizz. I can’t believe you guys actually do an hour + geekout like this.

As Andy Warhol told The Velvet Underground,

“You ought to make things big People like it that way And the songs with the dirty words - record them that way”

Was he presaging the era of 30’ screens and Merlin “Potty Mouth” Mann? I like to think so. Keep up the good work, motherfuckers!

Oh, the end of the...

Oh, the end of the song “Work” on Songs For Drella (Reed/Cale) also has some good GTD type advice on keeping hard edges to your widget-level activity:

Andy said a lot of things, I stored them all away in my head Sometimes when I can’t decide what I should do I think what would Andy have said He’d probably say you think too much That’s ‘cause there’s work that you don’t want to do It’s work, the most important thing is work Work, the most important thing is work

I listen every week and LOVE the show! This episode was off-da-hook, lol funny…I got some stranger than usual looks as I giggled to myself in the back of the bus…

Y’all have great chemistry…I especially enjoyed the Amber vs. Merlin catfight that almost erupted (just kidding;-)

Keep up the great work!!

I just got done listening to the episode. I think its great that Leo gave pzizz a try and liked it. This was a really great episode, I love the podcast and I agree with bobbyjohn that you all have great chemistry. I must say that I no longer listen to this when walking to class because I look ridiculous laughing to myself about some of the the things you guys say.

Keep up the great work.
