    Can't say I don't like the podcast. It's not bad at all.  But it is highly, HIGHLY annoying when one of you is talking and the other cuts in with a thought but no one wants to back down so you both keep talking at the same time, in essence telling the other that you're not going to stop till your thought is complete.  How about just not cutting one another off. Courtesy plays better over audo (podcast).  Quit the annoyingness <-- I know it's not a word. :smile: 
    Fair point, but I'll note that we are not recording in the same room (let alone the same state). So the whole "talking over each other" thing is sometimes a lag issue, sometimes a miscommunication issue.
    And sometimes, (not always, but sometimes) it's a clock sync issue. Clock sync drifts the longer we record, so our responses can be perfectly interleaved at the beginning of the show and be off, talking over each other (even though we weren't) by the end. I make several cuts to adjust it back into line, and I appreciate your patience with it as we record these.

    Oh wow... had no clue you guys were not in the same room (or state)! Well, that explains it. Of course, from time to time in conversation we interrupt one another. That's natural. I just have a peeve when one participant in a convo appears to think they have a point so great that they cease listening to the person talking, cut them off and refuses to stop talking until that "great" thought is complete. It's a peeve I have in any conversation setting - not just your podcast. But when that happens (at least seemingly) in your podcast, I find myself shouting out loud, "SHUT UP DUDE! LET THE GUY FINISH HIS THOUGHT!!" lol.  At the very minimum, it shows that I'm really into the show and am listening and interested in what you guys are saying, right? : )   Thanks for clarifying.  Keep up the good work! I'll catch you on the next podcast.

  • iPhone X tips: Miss the home button? Here's how to add a virtual one

    If iPhone X and IOS 11, virtual home button appears under screen as picture and explanation suggested, it is like a home button under screen !!!. Tell you the truth, i played with iPhone X a bit and the black thin bar at the bottom for swipe up to get to the Home screen is awesome. I wish Apple just add that to the rest of iPhones so I don't have to click Home button to get to Home screen. Double tap to wake up screen and should do the same double tap where no apps are located to put the screen to sleep.
    I agree. I got used to the "home bar" after just a few hours yesterday.  I really like it.  But on another note, I don't know about the notch at top.  I've heard all kinds of reviews of people saying they don't even notice it, but my experience has been quite the opposite.  It really stands out like a swolen nose, especially when the screen is completely white like in iMessages, Mail, Contacts and I even notice it and cannot help but feel a bit annoyed by it when looking at video. ...sigh. Otherwise I love the size and feel and spped and I really like FaceID.  Still playing with it so will discover more - but the notch is a no-g0 for me.

  • Got an iPhone X? Here are the tips and techniques you should know to get started

    Not sure if this will be an issue for many, but I just discovered that iPhone X will only work with iTunes 12.7.  It will not work with 12.6, which for me really stinks because I like the ability to manage my apps in iTunes. I refused to update to 12.7 but now that I've got an iPhone X I guess I may as well upgrade now. :neutral:   rme
