MacJury #902: The MacJury Doesn’t Hear Evidence on the Kindle Text-to-Speech Decision
The MacJury couldn’t hear the evidence on the Kindle text-to-speech issue; they had to read it, since the Kindle will no longer support that feature for many audiobooks. Is this a case of authors’ rights being protected, or DRM-style thinking on the part of the Author’s Guild? The answers, the questions and the long-term implications will surprise you. Drawing on examples in movies, music and more, an in-depth discussion of the issues is delivered by:

MacJury #831: Analysis of Apple’s Announcements and the Future of Macworld Expo
The largest MacJury ever convened discusses no Steve Jobs’ keynote and their final appearance at Macworld Expo.

Both perspectives are discussed as the MacJurors examine the evidence, offering their opinions as exhibitors, faculty members, journalists and Mac community members. What needs to happen to keep Macworld Expo viable? The panel weighs in with a few suggestions of their own.
