Welcome to episode 10 of the Mac Roundtable.

This week we discuss:

The Apple World Wide Developer Conference and Steve Jobs Keynote. Does demo of Leopard point to an early release or is it par for the course? Is Apple releasing products at a more rapid rate in an attempt to keep their stock rising? Does this rapid release schedule have an impact on quality? Apple changes TV ads to shift support for Windows XP from BootCamp to Parallels. Does this mean Apple will drop BootCamp? Is virtualization coming to OS 10.5 Leopard? What is the value of Apple .Mac? Is .Mac worth it and if so for who? A new multipart series on Podcasting. This episode we discuss show prep. Should you script out your show or outline? What software to use for shownotes? How to come up with topics and content.

Welcome to episode 9 of the Mac Roundtable.

This week we discuss:
Mac longevity. How long do we hold on to our Macs before we feel we need to upgrade. We take a look at Apple’s current retail strategy with the Apple stores and Apples recent move to sell Macs at Best Buy and other “big box” retailers. Is Apples new support for Windows a good thing? How far will Apple go to embrace the Dark Side? Is it time for a revision of the iPods and what new features should be added? Finally we each reveal our favorite Dashboard Widgets.

Welcome to episode 8 of the Mac Roundtable.

Well after a long time we finally are all able to get together again and chat. This week month we discuss:

Our impressions of the new MacBook from Apple. We get into all the details, the praise and the complaints behind Apple newest consumer notebook. Steve goes MIA; he says something about a failed cable modem, but interestingly it happened just as the American Idol final was starting. Coincidence? A man down we trudge on and discuss the upcoming release of the next generation of OS X, 10.5 Leopard. We will a sneak peek at the Apple WWDC, so we talk about some of the rumored new features and decide if it will be worth the upgrade. Finally we wrap it all up with a look at iLife ’06. What applications are we finding useful in our day to day lives. Which iLife programs are useful to us and what are some tricks we have discovered along the way. Hope you like it.
