Episode Details

It happens every time: Just before major OS releases, the tech web is flooded with how-to and tips articles. The MacVoices Live! panel looks at why and how you can benefit, including how that flood can offer guidance when new operating systems arrive. The discussion then turns to the Mac App Store allowing developers to drop Intel Mac support, what that actually means for older machines, and how Intel Macs remain useful. 

This panel includes: Chuck Joiner, Marty Jencius, Eric Bolden, David Ginsburg, Web Bixby, Mark Fuccio, and Jim Rea.

This MacVoices is supported by our new MacVoices series, Foreshadowing Tech, that examines the effect of media depictions of tech and tech culture on real-world tech, and how real-world has affected technology depictions in the media. Check it out at http://macvoices.com/foreshadowingtech.
