Charles is away in various bits of New York, and Mike is otherwise occupied, so this week sees the escape from the airlock of intrepid reporter Malcolm Owen and the ship's bosun William Gallagher as they take the helm. We salute the US Navy for taking us on board, discuss Walmart's alternative figures against Apple Pay, bring up some reports of screen issues with some iPhone X units (but never fear, Apple is on it), and William sings the praises of the forthcoming version of productivity app Workflow. Also discussed are the Photos app, anti-spammer email bots, Photos, KFC, and super savings on iPhone X battery life with the new Dark Mode. As befits the former hosts of One More Thing, the pair also resurrect the much-loved App of the Week segment, discuss examples of greater use of automation in software, take a peek at the new deals to be found in the debut of (by the time you hear this) Last Weekend Only, and geek out a bit over Star Wars-inspired backgrounds and effects in the new Clips 2.0. Things are a little different this week, cadets, with gentler accents, more decorum, and a full 20 percent less ranting (but a lot more sighing). All this and more, so tune in!
