While I often talk on Mac podcasts, this was a first. I did an interview for the Sports-Casters podcast yesterday, discussing Apple and Lion (at the time of the recording, we didn’t know that Lion would be released today, and being under NDA, I couldn’t say much), as well as the Tour de France, which comes about 5 km from my home today. Check it out to hear me, and two writers from Sports illustrated who talk only about sports.

On this week’s all-star episode of the Tech Night Owl, hosted by Gene Steinber, we will examine the ins and outs of iTunes 10 for the Mac and PC with author and commentator Kirk McElhearn. Learn why Kirk doesn’t like Apple’s new Ping social networking feature.
In the next segment, commentator Joe Wilcox, a former tech industry analyst, explains what’s wrong with the recent market share tains recorded for Microsoft’s Bing search engine, and why estimates of smartphone OS market share may be incorrect.
You’ll also hear from Jim Dalrymple, of The Loop, on the changes Apple made to the App Store, which appears to loosen the requirements for new apps, and lets you use third-party development tools, such as Adobe Flash, to create those apps.
