MGG 365: Building Mac & iOS Apps, Cleaning Mail, Taming Spotlight

Dave starts by telling everyone how he and his son built an iOS app in less than 10 minutes, then he and John dive in (sometimes to the deep end!) to teach you all about rebuilding mailboxes in Mail, how to configure your Mac and router firewalls, how to find out exactly what Spotlight is indexing (and how to stop it!), and more. Plus, Dave got a Kindle Fire and he’s got some initial thoughts about that. All this and more in today’s Premium Mac Geek Gab. Subscribe today, download, and enjoy!
