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 takes the case of on-demand content delivery options, discussing the announcements of a NetFlix set-top box, the return of the TiVo lifetime service agreement, Amazon Unbox, the Apple TV, the iTunes Store and Adobe TV. Selection, price, speed, format and “happy cash” are all placed into evidence as the MacJury finds the studios guilty of manipulating content distribution, but the jury is still out on which options will find favor with consumers of all sophistication levels.
The panel includes:
