The MacVoices Live! panel of David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Marty Jencius, Jeff Gamet, Web Bixby, and Jim Rea praise Tim Cook’s political acumen and discuss how other CEOs are trying to copy it. The discussion turns to Drake’s allegations of favoritism and why they seem unlikely, and then to an update on MacBook Pro speaker repairs and what you need to know.
