I want to highlight two fun bits from this week’s episode of @atpfm https://atp.fm/683

First, we put the “hands on” into our very touchy-feely report about the MacBook Neo (starts at 24:00)

But the real star of the episode is @marcoarment’s amazing story of how he, as a lone developer, created a transcripts feature for @overcastfm to compete with the similar feature in Apple Podcasts. You do not want to miss this one. (starts at 54:46)

The thing that struck me from the transcripts story was that, with the recent revelation that they sell about 1M mac minis each year, 18, while still a small number, feels like it might have been enough for Apple to have noticed the blip.

@siracusa OMG, I must have blocked it after 18. An even higher percentage of that million!
