Apple’s September music event was entitled, “It’s Only Rock & Roll, But We Like It.” But was it really? The MacJury consider the facts in the first of a two-part discussion. Do the iPod nano’s new features reflect Steve Jobs’ absence or do they address some specific aspects of iPod use? And why an FM radio? Is the decision not to put a camera in the iPod touch an oversight or a differentiator? Should you upgrade to iPhone 3.1 right away? And perhaps the biggest question of all…Norah Jones??? The MacJury take the case with a panel of:

| Jeff Carlson |
Adam Christianson |
Glenn Fleishman |

 |
| Keith Lang |
Chuck La Tournous |
Chuck Joiner |
Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus starts by talking about his newest book, 
, and some of the less-recognized, but most useful, features that Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard brings to the table. Bob and host Chuck Joiner then shift to a few issues they are experiencing, including iCal publishing, DVD burning and the odd hardware driver update, before taking on the Flash upgrade that is needed to bring users up to the current version. Bob also provides his thoughts on who shouldn’t upgrade to Snow Leopard, sheds some light on the 32-bit vs. 64-bit question. Too good not to talk about, Bob also advances his theories on the meaning of the tag line for Apple’s 9/9/09 event.
