Today is Sunday January 31, 2016 and this is show number 560. This week&#8217;s show is going to be crazy fun. We&#8217;ve got rants, we&#8217;ve got interviews, we&#8217;ve got capitulation and we&#8217;ve got reviews!<\/p>\n<h3>Chit Chat Across the Pond<\/h3>\n<p>In Chit Chat Across the Pond this week I asked Dave Hamilton of the Mac Geek Gab to join me to talk about the effect that it would have on us if the rumors are true and Apple ships the next iPhone without an analog headphone jack.  It&#8217;s not a hand wringing, fearful episode, instead we discuss what digital vs. analog actually means and get into the nitty gritty of how audio is encoded and decode so that we can hear it.  I had a great time learning from Dave and I think you will too.  Remember you need to subscribe separately to Chit Chat Across the Pond or you can follow the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/ccatp-423\/\" target=\"_blank\" >link in the shownotes to just this episode<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Apple Rants<\/h3>\n<p>I had some &#8220;interesting&#8221; support calls with Apple this week about which I did a bit of a rant.  No show notes on this part!<\/p>\n<h3>Blog Posts<\/h3>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/nosillacastaways-facebook-group\/\" target=\"_blank\" >NosillaCastaways Facebook Group is Live<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/piq-multi-sport-sensor\/\" target=\"_blank\" >PIQ Multi-Sport Sensor<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/brydge-ipad-keyboards\/\" target=\"_blank\" >Brydge iPad Keyboards<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/ring-video-doorbell\/\" target=\"_blank\" >Hands on With Ring Video Doorbell<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/allie-full-spherical-camera\/\" target=\"_blank\" >IC Real Tech&#8217;s ALLie Full Spherical Camera<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/surecall-cell-signal-booster\/\" target=\"_blank\" >SureCall Cell Phone Signal Booster<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>That&#8217;s going to wind this up for this week.
