Mike Potter is gearing up for this year’s Macstock 2018 conference, and gives us a preview of some of the changes and upgrades to this year’s event. A renowned keynote speaker, a new conference structure designed to give attendees more of what they want, at least one new evening activity are among the changes. In an exclusive announcement, Mike tells us about a special film screening that will also be part of the event, and how it came about through a Macstock presenter.

Michael Potter is the Executive Producer of For Mac Eyes Only, and the organizer of the annual Macstock Conference and Expo. 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.

Joe Kissell is back for his first appearance of 2018, and talks about new editions of two of his books that are important to anyone who uses a computer or online device of any kind. In Take Control of Your Passwords, Joe updates his advice on making your passwords as secure as you can, and with Take Control of 1Password, he delves into the latest updates to the password manager he (and host Chuck Joiner) use. For 1Password, new features such as Travel Mode help secure you while crossing borders, and a subscription model addresses the need for constant updates. But password managers aren’t the answer to all the password issues; Joe provides some examples, and how to address them.

We wrap up our CES coverage from Las Vegas with a visit to the Cone of Silence booth in Eureka Park to talk to Kyle Costello, Marketing, about their PrivacyShield device that provides on-demand privacy from the always-listening mics of the Amazon Alexa devices. By creating an air gap and filling it with white noise, and providing a visual cue for when engaged, you can be secure in having your confidential conversations without Alexa listening. Kyle covers how it works and when you can get yours.

At CES Las Vegas, Beauty and the Bolt had a booth in Eureka Park to help get their message out about women and technology. Xyla Foxlin talks about needing to make women more comfortable with technology and tools, and how they are doing just that by producing YouTube videos and product kits that give not only instruction but also the opportunity for hands-on interaction with power tools and electronics.

In Eureka Park at CES in Las Vegas, we got some time on the couch…but not just any couch. Miliboo was showing their smart sofa. Amelie Boudghene, Head of Communication, gave us the rundown on the capabilities, including how it can control all of your smart home devices, not just your home theater. Built-in subwoofers let you feel your video content and built in Qi charging lets you charge your phone while you take a break.
