    October 16, 2015 /

    It is the best of times and the worst of times – at least when it comes to the constant flood of tech news inundating us consumers these days. It’s the best because our tech – like the new iPad Pro and Surface Book – just keeps getting better. It’s the worst because it takes a lot of time to dig through myriad tech news to figure out what matters most to the valued listeners of the PC Mike podcast. Alas, we try, and that’s why this week’s focus is dissecting the tech news to talk everything from Apple vs. Microsoft to what smartphone camera is best. In fact – in addition…

    October 9, 2015 /

    Has Apple lost its Mojo? PC Mike thinks so. And Microsoft seems to have stolen it away. In this episode of the podcast, Mike outlines some of the problems and issues Apple has been having lately, many centered around a general lack of innovation. Mike is so disappointed that he’s actually thinking of changing his entire technology ecosystem from Apple to Windows. Why does he think Microsoft has become the hottest tech company today? A big reason can be seen in Microsoft’s recent product announcements. Giving us five takeaways from that big event is Sean Michael from Winbeta.org Plus, we have reviews of cool bluetooth speakers and some handy apps…

    September 22, 2015 /

    Because email contains the word “mail,” it seems natural to assume it offers the same kind of privacy laws that apply to items sent through the U.S. Postal Service. But as PC Mike Wendland tells one of our listeners this week, guaranteed privacy is not the case. In fact, what you send through so-called “free” email services like GMail, Hotmail, or Yahoo Mail are anything but free and actually can be used to try and sell you stuff based on the content of your electronic messages. Don’t worry, though, Mike has a great tip for how to protect yourself. It’s just one of the many things discussed on this episode of…
