| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Apple Insider podcast. This is your host, Wesley Hilliard speaking. I am joined by William Gallagher once again. Lots and little's going on this week. It's kind of a weird week. We've got a few small stories, a big story to get |
| 0:20.9 | into, and Apple Insider Plus is going to be a fun one. Before we get to that, I'd like to thank |
| 0:26.0 | our sponsor this week, Clean My Mac by Mac paw. And if you don't want to hear anything about |
| 0:31.3 | sponsors, there's Apple Insider Plus where you get an ad-free experience and a bonus topic every |
| 0:36.7 | week. This week, we're going to talk |
| 0:38.6 | about Apple's responsibility. It's role with App Review because they've told the courts, they've |
| 0:45.1 | told the governments, they've told the people. They are App Review. No one else, but are they |
| 0:51.1 | doing their job? And how do we fix it? Soiam how's it going well i'm just in from a |
| 0:58.8 | paper round um i'm trying to get up enough money to buy uh the big new elgato stream deck uh so you know |
| 1:05.3 | also getting in my uh steps for the day so i'm fine. Grand. Thank you. Okay. How are you? |
| 1:14.3 | I'm okay. Slowly still healing, if anyone's keeping up. But I am better every day. So I will soon be running marathons. Not really. I can't run. My knees won't let me. But that's not what we're here to talk about. |
| 1:28.4 | Sorry, for one second. I thought you said your niece wouldn't let you. And I thought, |
| 1:33.1 | what hold has she got over you? Okay. I'm concentrating now. I promise. Okay. |
| 1:38.6 | So many, so many nieces that I have. I have 11 nieces and nephews. Don't ask me to count how many of each. |
| 1:46.3 | It would take a very long time. Mike must have listened to Apple Insider Plus and stole our idea because he wrote a story about a Mac Neo, a device that is lower down than the Mac Mini in a smaller case, the size of an Apple TV. |
| 2:05.1 | Did you read this story? |
| 2:06.4 | I'm actually complicit in writing it, and I did the image, the mocked-up version of the MacNeo, |
| 2:12.6 | which I'm stupidly proud of, because I'veed the citrus sign, the exact shade of citrus |
| 2:20.3 | from, in fact, one of your photographs of the MacBook Neo. So, you know, at least artistry |
| 2:27.1 | was involved. Now some guilt. I hadn't remembered that we'd said that. So do I owe you something for having stolen your idea? |
| 2:37.0 | No, but citrus is an impossible to photograph color. |
| 2:41.9 | You chose one of the many shades that it appears to be. |
