MacJury #920: Deliberations on the New 27″ iMac, Apple’s Acquisition of LaLa, the JooJoo Pad and More
Filed under: Apple TV, Audio/Music, Business, Events, Graphics/Photos, Hardware, Productivity, Video, Web, iPhone, iPod
The MacJury is called to order to discuss the new 27″ iMac and why, with its large display, i7 quad core CPU and hyperthreading, it is a game-changer in the desktop computer space. Is it just the best iMac yet, or a harbinger of a coming move to a true television-style device from Apple? Evidence is also heard on Apple’s purchase of LaLa and what it might mean for the future of Apple’s music business, how the North Carolina data center may figure in, and how it might just fit in to the much ballyhooed Apple Tablet. Speaking of tablets…the MacJury passes judgement on the JooJoo pad, the internet tablet that is rising from the ashes of the CrunchPad. The panel that gets all this done includes:

MacJury #919: The Verdict on Choosing a New Mac Desktop or Laptop
With the holiday season in full swing, one item on everyone’s possible gift list is a new Mac…including members of The MacJury. But the choices aren’t obvious. To buy (now) or not to buy, where to buy, what upgrades to consider, and more are all questions that need to be considered. The panel discusses why education discounts aren’t what they once were, what a refurbished Mac is and why it may be a great value, what a refreshed Mac is and where to ask about one, why Apple RAM may be worth the money, and what to do if you spill liquid on your Mac. Fond memories of favorite Macs past conclude the discussion with:
