MacJury #802 [56:49m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

The first issue before the MacJury is the future (or not) of the Mac mini, what it is good for, what it could be and why you should think outside the box when considering one. Then, the available evidence involving Microsoft’s attempts to buy Yahoo and how it will affect Mac users is examined, and the panel concludes their deliberations by discussing the iPhone’s position as the #1 mobile browser, and why Apple might be the only company who could decide to fix the mobile web problem on the client side.

The members of the panel include:

Chuck La Tournous	Daniel Jalkut	Paul Kafasis	Steve Sande	Chuck Joiner

 MacJury #801 [58:40m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

MacVoices‘ host Chuck Joiner is launching a new show: The MacJury, and the first show is being included on the MacVoices’ site and in the newsfeeds to help introduce listeners to the latest program for Mac news and entertainment. Each show will feature a different panel of personalities from the Mac universe in a freewheeling discussion that will interest Mac users of all levels.

The very first MacJury empaneled consists of some of the members of MacLevelTen, discussing the rise (or not) of Blu-Ray and how it affects Mac users. Will it solve all your storage problems, prove to be just a stop-gap technology, or be leapfrogged by faster bandwidth as a video delivery medium? The jury members then take on the Apple TV, what it brings to the table beyond movie rentals, and what needs to be added to make it a true killer product. Why there is a trend toward in-person tech conferences, why podcasts and social media may be helping drive that trend, and the dynamics of Twitter are all entered into evidence in the first show.

The jurors for this show include:

Pat Fauquet	Don McAllister	Jay Nelson	Dan Pourhadi	Chuck Joiner
