Subscription software has been a hot topic, and promises to be a hotter topic in the future. The MacJury takes on the questions surrounding the matter, examining it from both the customer and developer perspectives. The panel shares their personal reactions to the various subscription models, what makes them acceptable or detrimental, and how they individually value software. Proposing some new models and identifying new challenges faced by both the buyers and sellers of software are the panel of Jeff Gamet, Michael E. Cohen, Michael Potter and host Chuck Joiner.

Michael Potter is the Executive Producer of For Mac Eyes Only. Mike’s love-affair for all things Apple began in his Junior High’s Library playing Lemonade Stand on a pair of brand new Apple ][+ computers. His penchant for Apple gear continued to be nurtured by the public school system when, in High School, he was hired as a lab supervisor to help run the Apple ][e lab for his fellow students and their Print Shop needs. Then, further still, in college he often opted to help a friend with her Computer Graphics coursework instead of focusing on his own studies … but only because it helped get him closer to the Mac-lab. In the time since his weekly Mac podcast was first unleashed to a wary public in the Fall of 2006, over 290 episodes of For Mac Eyes Only, and more than 135 Quick Tips and other Special Segments have been produced to date. In 2013, For Mac Eyes Only launched a new Members Only portion of the site called FMEO Plus featuring exclusive video, audio, and more. Through it all, Mike’s favorite part of producing the show continues to be the opportunity to make new friends within the ever-growing community of Apple fanatics.
