Ted reveals some stunning numbers on the potential costs of using data when crossing the pond, and how he plans to deal with it. While not as important as some items on Apple’s agenda, the hacking and cheating going on in Apple’s Game Center statistics is also getting under Ted’s skin; he explains why, discovers why one particular high score number keeps showing up, and voices his thoughts on why this needs to be fixed. Finally, Ted discusses his latest favorite iPad app, and why one feature should be looked at by Apple for the Mac OS.

Going paperless from a news perspective, the goods and bars of some news apps, whether there will be new iPods soon, whether there will be an Apple television at all, and why Apple stopped renting TV shows all figure into the discussion.

Is that possible? Is that a good thing? Ted discusses the tradeoffs, and the impact on the casual user vs the expert. Wireless sync for iOS devices and why it can be such a critical feature for the iPad, Apple’s cash position and more are also covered.

Is that possible? Is that a good thing? Ted discusses the tradeoffs, and the impact on the casual user vs the expert. Wireless sync for iOS devices and why it can be such a critical feature for the iPad, Apple’s cash position and more are also covered.

Bryan Chaffin is among them, and has a spirited debate with host Chuck Joiner about the tax implications, how past uses of cash compare, and how much is too much. Who and what Apple should and shouldn’t, could and couldn’t buy, the view from shareholder, management and macroeconomic perspectives, and a whole lot more are part of Bryan’s return from a protracted MacNotables absence (and it was well worth the wait).

Ted shares the few issues he had with upgrading, reveals his new choice of financial software, and why he’s giving time to almost all of the new features Apple introduced. Some can be turned on, some turned off; Ted talks about which he’s done what to, what new feature is dead on arrival and which are his favorites, and how it all comes together in the newest version of the Mac operating system.

TidBITS is available through a number of channels now (at least one of which we didn’t know about until Tonya told us). Tonya talks about what it will mean for their distribution model, and why Apple may be able to calm the maelstrom that has been the delivery of iOS content and ebooks. Switching sides, Tonya also provides some perspective on these changes from the advertiser and consumer perspectives, names her favorite WWDC announcement, and what we will remember about iOS 5 in the distant future.
