The anticipation for Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference 2008 is so intense that we had to convene a second panel to discuss it. A wish-list kicks off the session, with the jury agreeing on one product they would like to see while disagreeing on others. (Would *you* want a pink MacBook Pro?) The analysis then slides to what we can realistically expect and why, including thoughts on the iPhone and Mac OS. Chuck reveals why rumors are banned from MacJury deliberations, and the group wraps up thoughts on WWDC and Star Trek, The Google Factor, an enhanced .Mac and, of all things, styli.

The MacJury hears more evidence on the on-again, off-again Microsoft/Yahoo merger…or buyout…or whatever it is as you read this. The panel discusses the latest information, Yahoo’s motivations, Google’s involvement in the developments, and why you should feel sorry for Microsoft. Also on the docket is the question of whether current software such as iWork ‘08, open source alternatives and cloud computing make it possible to abandon the Microsoft Office suite.

The members of the panel include:
