Summary

When we expected the Mavericks GM (recorded two hours before this).
Apparent new E5-1680 Mac Pro in Geekbench and what CPU tradeoffs to expect in the new Mac Pro.
Speculating on the new Mac Pro's fan noise, rotating cable management, and intended desk location.
FU on John's podcast-scrubber idea. (Spoiler: he knows about the vertical speed-scaling that's been in Apple's scrubber for years, and it's not what he wants.)
Experimenting with new UI controls and behaviors: some end up being cool and useful in practice, but many don't.
Marco's brief adventure in designing a custom binary sync protocol.
The potential conflict of interest of avoiding automatic ad-skipping features in Overcast since Marco gets income from ads on this podcast, and the ethics of publishing all podcasts' subscriber stats on the site.
iPhone 5S cases.
Laptop battery health and potential automatic battery conditioning.
