Essential Apple Podcast 251: Talking to Aidan Fitzpatrick of Reincubate

This week Simon is joined by special guest Aidan Fitzpatrick, a serial app inventor and data privacy evangelist who has the distinction of being the first to “crack the code” on creating technology so people could recover their lost Apple data (neatly thwarting the FBI’s early requests for a back door access). His efforts in social impact technology and app and data creation has earned him England’s highest technology honor from the Queen of England, the Queen’s award, twice. He’s been an invited speaker for Google, Snap and a host of other technology leaders and his most recent app, Camo, is revolutionizing how people engage in virtual meetings, streaming and content creation.

Amazon Prime Mac App Released

Amazon Prime Video Now In The Mac App Store

To coincide with the eminent mayhem that is Amazon’s Black Friday, Amazon have released Prime into the Mac App Store available to download. The term native app might be a touch misleading as it’s seems to be more of a web wrapper

The Mac app does offer some nifty features like downloads, multi user logins and airplay functionality. However as one reviewer on the App Store points out some might argue the app is a little pointless as UHD or HDR would be supported but the image quality is the same.  There is also one oddity that the app itself cannot be expanded full size but video play back can be.

Of course to view any content on Amazon you will need an Amazon Prime subscription which can be purchased yearly or monthly.

Download the Amazon Prime app directly form the App Store
