First on the docket is tne new MacBook Air, what it offers, who it is for, and how it stacks up against competing classes of laptops. The examination continues with a look at what was and wasn’t updated in the new iLife ’11 suite of apps, including why the new GarageBand capabilities are cool, who it can help learn to play an instrument and how, and why the Movie Trailers feature of iMovie may just improve your life (or at least make it look that way). What the Mac App Store will mean for users and developers alike, how it could change software distribution, licensing and much more are bandied about by the panel of John F. Braun, Peter Cohen, Jeff Gamet, Jean MacDonald, Steve Sande and host Chuck Joiner.

Stop Blaming The Men., raised the blood pressure of some members of The MacJury Pool, and wanted to discuss and debate the article and the challenges of women in technology. The panel of Pat Fauquet, Jean MacDonald, Dori Smith, Omaha Sternberg and host Chuck Joiner take on the topic, discussing both their personal experiences and those of women in general in a variety of tech-related activities, including conference speaking, business, gaming and more. They invite the audience to get involved in the conversation, issue some invitations to Michael Arrington, and offer suggestions on how men can get women more involved.

Is it better than its less-connected sibling? The MacJury is on the case, with two members chiming in from the high seas, examining the latest device from both expectation and performance standpoints. The panel discusses the results of a real-world New York City travel test, and why 3G adds flexibility in some cases but may not be necessary in others. Which data plan to select, how much video 250 megabytes gets you, the effects of 3G on battery life, and a round of favorite iPad apps are all covered by Jeff Carlson, Pat Fauquet, Mark Fuccio, Jean MacDonald, Tom Negrino and host Chuck Joiner.

How does it measure up to the astronomical hype? Will it save the newspaper and magazine industry, dominate the ebook market and upend hand-held gaming? What about the price points, options for connectivity and the selection of AT&T as the provider of internet access? Deliberations on all these issues and more are conducted by the panel of:
