Good show guys! I had insomnia last night, and your show didn't help to put me to sleep! :D

Just a comment...

Adam mentioned that if you use iCal and Outlook Calendar Exchange one would wipe out the other. Well I am currently using both and it does not wipe out either. I just have and option when I open calendar on the iphone to open individual calendars or all the calendars. I works great.

I have been wanting to do the same with the contacts, but I am worried that, that will erase my contacts.

Hi again,

I noticed you were talking about turning off the features for battery purposes. Well, at first I had all features on all the time and needed to charge my iphone up to 3 times a day. I thought my iphone battery was deffective. I made an appointment with the genius bar, and the genius recommended me to turn off the services while you are not using those services.

I now have location, wifi, and 3g off all the time, and I turn them on as needed and now I only have to charge my iPhone once a day.

Hey Michael,

Great show once again. As usual, all star cast as well.

Glad you enjoyed The Dark Knight as well. I had to take the night shift so many times while Bruce was working on that. I'm glad it's done now.

Keep up the good work, sir. And thanks for the special mention.

We ALL Had to fly in and take turns while he was working on the movie, turned out great worth the overtime of crime fighting.

...

when you slide the bar over in the pref pane to use Exchnage Contacts it will wipe your contacts...but when you witch it back off it will restore your old contacts automatically...at least it did for me!

[Stephen007]

Wow, I'm not really a podcast kind of guy but you're show is really well done. I have enjoyed it immensly. What surprises me is the length. It's quite long but still remains interesting the whole time. Very well done!
