Dave and John have quite the show teed up for you today. First, lightning season is almost here and it's important to think about your surge supression infrastructure. Your geeks talk about that. Then a few questions and tips about network management before your geeks start giving new Mac buying advice. Finally a wrap-up about managing memory on Mavericks (say that ten times fast!), and a few other questions peppered in for good measure. You'll love this one!

John and Dave are joined by TekRevue's Jim Tanous (aka MGGJim here at TMO). Jim's been managing his movie library digitally for years, and he talks through his workflow for ripping, storing, and playing back all this data; all while keeping it freed from any ecosystem lock-in (and future-proofing and other buzzwords, too). That plus your questions answered. Enjoy!

John and Dave dig into the mailbag once again for you, dear listener, and answer your questions. Didn't get your question answered? It's because you didn't ask. Your geeks don't bite... just send in a question and they'll take care of you!

Dave's back from CES and he and John have all that to discuss as well as a full mailbag. Want to know about USB ports not being the same? Want to learn more about speeding up Safari? How about an automation tip for iOS that uses Hazel? The common theme? Sometimes your Mac lies to you (and your favorite geeks help you sort that out!). All this and more in today's episode, just for you!

John and Dave kick off the new year a little early, just before Dave braves the snow and heads to the airport to (hopefully) fly out to Vegas for NMX and CES. Today your geeks do what they do best, answering your questions and solving your problems. Have a question? Send 'em a note and they'll answer it for you, too.

It might be the holidays, but John and Dave are still at it, answering your questions and sharing all the juicy tips and apps and products they've found for you. This week you'll hear your two favorite geeks talk about solving problems like, "how to launch apps from unidentified developers?" and "why doesn't my password work in the Terminal?" and "how do I get my Mail plugins to work again?" Additionally, they talk through a few other, deep-geek topics, like getting geeky about storing photos. You're not going to want to miss this one! Download today (it's free!) and enjoy.

Dave and John coninue their holiday-fueled fervor, recommending as many cool things as they can while simultaneously (in harmony) answering your questions! And this week Dave talks about his previous week using a non-Apple tablet!

[Note: Michael's schedule is such that he won't have timely time to convert the show to AAC and add the chapters this week, so 477 will only be available in MP3 format.]
