\nHi this is Allison Sheridan of the NosillaCast Mac Podcast, hosted at Podfeet.com, a technology geek podcast with an EVER so slight Macintosh bias. Today is Sunday August 10, 2014 and this is show number 483. <\/p>\n

Remember there for a while when I had to start every show with a correction? Well it looks like we’re back to that. Technically it’s not a correction, but a pretty major omission! In last week’s show, I talked about DVDpedia for the Mac and how I could sync my library database over to iOS using Pocketpedia. For some dumb reason, I never thought for a minute to check and see what else Pocketpedia could do.<\/p>\n

Luckily @Herne<\/a> just happened to mention to me how much he likes Pocketpedia and how he uses it to scan in books to Bookpedia. I couldn’t believe it. Sheesh, what a great reviewer I am. Turns out you can use your iPhone or iPad’s built-in camera to scan in your books, CDs, DVDs and games, and they sync back nearly instantly to your Mac’s ‘pedia software. I tried it and it worked REALLY well! I noticed you can also rate your movies and that info syncs back to your Mac’s database. <\/p>\n

I felt like a dope that I didn’t even notice that, and big apologies to Bruji<\/a> for it. <\/p>\n

Dilbert<\/h3>\n

If you’ve been listening to the show for any length of time, you’re aware of my single biggest pet peeves, and that’s the phrase, “so easy your mother could do it.” I hear this ALL THE TIME on tech shows and it makes me crazy. People never<\/em> say “so easy your father could do it”, so why single out a huge percentage of the population in this way? Is there something about child birth that makes a person a tech idiot? Oddly this idiocy does not apply to childless women so there’s that to noodle on too.<\/p>\n

Evidently Scott Adams, the artist behind the Dilbert comic has noticed this odd phrase as well. Thanks to both TimN_FL and John Malonson for pointing me to his comic from August 5th 2014<\/a>. I’ll read it out for the audience: the pointy haired boss says, “The interface needs to be so simple that your mother could use it.” Dilbert replies, “my mother taught herself Ruby on Rails over a weekend.” The pointy haired boss responds with, “Then imagine someone else’s mother.” To which Dilbert simply says, “Can I imagine a sexist imbecile?” Thank you Scott Adams – now I can point people to this every time I hear it!!!<\/p>\n

Clarify 2<\/h3>\n

I’ve really been enjoying all the great feedback from people telling me how much they like the newly released Clarify 2 from clarify-it.com<\/a>. Some people are sending along “thanks, great update!” and others are sending me their tutorials which is even more fun. <\/p>\n

Last week when I talked about why Steve and I are still buying physical DVDs, I mentioned that I ran into the dreaded 5 computer limit in iTunes. I couldn’t even account for why Apple thought I had 5 authorized. Donald Burr wrote on the blog about how once a year Apple will allow you to reauthorize all of your computers (isn’t that big of them?) I knew you could do that (I’ve had to do it before) but Donald also pointed out that any time you do a nuke and pave, you probably forget to deauthorize. I had no idea Apple considered that a 2nd authorization, and you know I’m a fan of the nuke and pave, so I’m sure that Donald has cracked the code on why Apple thinks I have 5 but I can’t count that many.<\/p>\n

Donald took it a step further though, he created a Clarify 2 document walking us through exactly how to reset your iTunes activations<\/a>! Of course there’s a link in the shownotes to his tutorial on Clarify-it.com.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t jumped on the special offers for Clarify 2, get started quickly. The 50% off sale on the App Store<\/a> expires on August 11th so I hope you’re hearing this before then! If you missed it, and you’d like non-app store version anyway or maybe the cross-platform version, you can still get 25% off with the special code just for NosillaCastaways. It’s xxxxxxxxx and it expires on September 1st so you still have a little bit of time. Check to make sure you don’t get a free upgrade first though, there’s lots of ways you might qualify so go check it out at Clarify-it.com. Now I’ve got to run off and follow Donald’s instructions and reauthorize all of my Macs from iTunes!<\/p>\n
