MacVoices

This year’s MacIT Conference is less than a month away, and Conference Chair Paul Kent has plenty to tell us about who’s speaking, the kinds of topics on the schedule, and why it is the place you need to be if you are interested in Macs in the enterprise or large-scale academic environment. Paul talks about the move to Santa Clara, in the heart of Silicon Valley and explains how this year’s conference is structured so that it includes not only sessions, but plenty of networking opportunities as well as attendee participation.

The Houserockers

The MacJury takes on the issue of royalty payments for the first three, free, months of the soon-to-be-launched Apple Music service. Who were they negotiating with? Were they negotiating with the right people? Does Taylor Swift really speak for the artists, for the labels, or just for herself? Was their a bad guy in the story, or was it all just a big PR stunt? The panel of Julio Ojeda-Zapata, Neal Pann, Guy Serle and host Chuck Joiner discuss it from every angle, to give you a different perspective on these events.

Guy Serle, best known for being one of the co-hosts of the MyMac Podcast, sincerely apologizes for anything he has done or caused to have happened while in possession of dangerous podcasting equipment.
