0

Bryan Chaffin and host Chuck Joiner started off to record a perfectly normal show, and ended up in a protracted conversation that questioned Steve Balmer’s ability to lead Microsoft, examined the causes and effects of the management shake-up at Apple, and covered the UK Court’s order to Apple to make their apology a real apology. The conversation then turned to Amazon’s role in changing not just book publishing, but retail sales as well, philosophical differences, economic models and much more. This is Part 2 of a special two-part MacNotables.
