It is everyone's favorite week of the month, App Thursday. This week we have a sensation group of candidates.

We have a really compelling mix of apps this week. Rebecca Bollwitt , Art Factora, Isaac Kendall and Sean Kennedy all brought great apps.

There are Beer Apps, Personal Safety Apps, Health Apps, Productivity Apps, Security Apps, And even Sex Apps, yep Sex Apps, you will never guess who brought that App!

This week on the show we have a real mixed bag. Alexander Gruntsev, PressReader’s Chief Innovation Officer joins us to talk about Pressreader's innovative apps and incredible subscription service.

100s of magazines and newspapers delivered to your computer or tablet for a low monthly subscription.

Exciting news as we are launching a giveaway contest where one lucky listener or reader will win a one-year subscription to PressReader, value over $400!

Security is top of mind these days with website after Webserve is being hacked and user information being compromised. Steve weighs in  discussing some of the things we need to do to effectively protect our online cells, and Julian Saunders joins us to talk about backup systems.

Like so many of my generation, the iconic product that I identify most strongly with, is the Mac. January 5, 1984, the legendary Super Bowl ad announcing the arrival of the Mac was the first step on a journey of discovery that so many of us took.

This week on the show I am thrilled to welcome into the studio 2 old colleagues of mine who were around in those first days with me as we discovered the Mac and learned what it could do for us. As you will discover by listening to the show, those were heady times, the world was truly our oyster. We fully embraced the concept of thinking differently, and believed that the Mac could be a catalyst to change the world.

Ian Selbie and Kevin Jampole are my guests, and they share their memories of the early days of the Macintosh. I hope we capture and share some of the enthusiasm and excitement that surrounded the Mac in it's early days.

This week App thursday brings 2 new faces to Dotto Tech, actually one new face, Sean Kennedy, and one old friend, in Mike Vardy. John Biehler and Art factora round out the roster.

Some great Apps were put forward this week with a tie finally decided on, after much complaining (as usual) from Art.
