Episode Details

Because they just can't ignore it, the MacVoices Live! panel of Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius, Jim Rea, Jeff Gamet, and Web Bixby consider the fines the fines the EU is imposing on Apple, and why the amount seems a little out of bounds. Elon Musk is suing OpenAI over an unusual issue, and is also trying to get Satya Nadella's attention, and Tumblr and Wordpress will be marketing your blog posts. Never a dull moment.
