The staff are happy to hear that iTunes 8.2 may have parental controls for the iTunes App Store. Finally, apps won't be rejected because of swears and parents can feel better knowing that their kid isn't playing 50 Cent's upcoming Death, Sex and Drugs RPG for the iPhone. (Not a real game, yet).
Myst brings back memories, some of them painful, about gaming from the land before OS X and Robbie laments losing the wonder of the Myst world when he wrote the 5 minute walkthrough.
We decide to put the Keep or Delete section out to pasture on the advice of a caller and instead, share some of our favorite apps of the week.
Don't forget, the Mac|Life staff would love to hear your thoughts, comments and ideas for the new podcast. Just leave a message on the Mac|Live question/comment line: (877) 404-1337, extension 622. Please limit the length of your messages to 1 minute max. We'll review these calls each week and feature our favorites, along with responses, on that week's podcast.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! What a great podcast theme. It was cute how you made the podcast file wear that tiny hat. How did you get it to stay on it's little head? I hope you didn't use staples. Now on to business: how could you all so boldly and unilaterally cancel 'keep or delete' just because of one grumpy super secret caller?Where are we going to learn about the huge array of useless musical knowledge knocking around Robbie's head? What about socialism!? I didn't even know about auto-tune. Now I do, but I will learn no more. I liked how you all read about the bands bio and discussed breaking into the music business. A true critique of the industry. Plus you really made me laugh.Since there are many positives to the "Keep or Delete" segment, I suggest you have it on periodically, cuz seriously, iPhone apps are sooooooo overdone by everybody. I would be happy to have a periodic segment called "Appoplectic" or something-- I can almost hear the scat now. :-P But I don't know if iPhone apps tap the inner core of passion the way music does.Keep the Podcast casting. You all are great. You routinely make me laugh out loud. Very Funny. Very Enjoyable.

Well that`s a great idea to protect our kinds. Nowadays anything should have parental control. I like that many of the online games are having this program. That`s a good way to control the time they will spend playing. And yet it`s great cause we`ll have more chances to make our kinds avoid individual Drug Rehab Programs
