After reminding us that iCloud is, at least for the basic service level, free, Joe explains how you need to think of iCloud as different than other online offerings, some strategies to follow to convert from MobileMe, and how to make sense of the Apple ID situation as well as your .me and .mac addresses. iCloud brings with it a roster of services and capabilities; Joe walks us through them from a practical perspective and gets you ready for your move to the cloud.

The next The Final Cut Pro SuperMeet, this time in Boston, is rapidly approaching, and Daniel Berube and Michael Horton are back to talk about what this gathering of digital video gurus will offer. On the program are presentations for all levels of video producers, enthusiast and pro alike, including a Thunderbolt demo with a video production slant, a raffle that is huge, even by FCP SuperMeet standards, and the highlight of the show, a presentation by editing superstar and Oscar winner Walter Murch. First, though, Dan and Mike provide their perspective on Final Cut Pro X, the launch of the product, where it is, where it is going, and their thoughts on the future of Apple’s non-linear editing program.

While some features in Lion seem targeted to new users, Dave, Michael and Steve don’t necessarily agree, and talk about why you should explore every corner of the OS if you’re going to get the most out of it.

Gordon explains how and why they took data recovery to the next level, building state-of-the-art clean rooms, hiring expert data recovery technicians and even introducing convenient access to their services. Data recovery isn’t the only thing they offer, however. Gordon outlines their full menu of services, including data migration, print scanning and document scanning. You hope to never need data recovery services, but if you do, find out why The Data Rescue Center should be one of your first stops.

Data recovery isn't the only thing they offer, however. Gordon outlines their full menu of services, including data migration, print scanning and document scanning. You hope to never need data recovery services, but if you do, find out why The Data Rescue Center should be one of your first stops.

Why a free Twitter client now? Lucius explains, talks about his history as a Mac developer, and what pushed him into iPhone and now iPad apps. Lucius also has a rather pro-iTunes opinion of Apple’s policies and procedures, and explains how the “walled-garden” metaphor works both ways, often to the advantage of developers and users alike. Impressions of WWDC, the status of Sound Studio, why he started developing physical fitness apps and more are all part of the conversation. Lucius profiles his apps and talks about their inspiration, the benefits and challenges of user feedback, and invites listeners to provide suggestions and ideas for new apps.

It wasn’t always that way, however. The four founding members of The Mac Roundtable, Adam Christianson, Joseph Nilo, Steve Stanger, and Tim Verporten, talk about how and why it got started and who created the group’s assets. The Roundtable’s history wasn’t without rough spots; the panel talk about the challenges that put the group on hiatus for a time, the international flavor of the panel, and the “reboot” that brought it back bigger and better than ever.

Take Control of Apple Mail in Snow Leopard and Take Control of Mail on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. To celebrate, Joe takes us on a tour of what each offers to users who are interested in bringing their email to its knees. Joe talks about controlling spam on the server side and how you can use Google to accomplish this, and how Snow Leopard-wide system changes have enhanced Apple’s Mail program. Security is on everyone’s mind; Joe also explains why digital signatures and encryption received so much attention, and why his titles all offer so much more than what Apple lists as new in the current version of Mail. For the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad owner, Joe attacks email from both the philosophical and practical perspectives, discussing how to leverage Google’s many email capabilities and filters without losing your domain identity, why we may see third-party email clients on the iPad, and much more.

The next iteration of The Final Cut Pro SuperMeet is coming up at the NAB show in Las Vegas on April 13, and organizers Daniel Berube and Michael Horton tell us what to expect. Fresh off a successful SuperMeetUp at South by Southwest, the duo talk about the process they use to put together more and better SuperMeets. New for Las Vegas will be the Post Pit, a stage on the NAB show floor where editing and post production tips and techniques will be demonstrated all three days of the show. Dan and Mike also talk about the latest edition of the SuperMag and why it is better than ever, the fact that this SuperMeet will be “officially” streamed for those who can’t make it to Vegas, and more.

There are a number of methods of sharing your screen, with our without Apple’s MobileMe service, and Glenn is our guide. He discusses the built-in capabilities of the Mac OS, and the improvements introduced by Snow Leopard to access your Mac across the room or across the country. Screen sharing is one thing but remote control of your Mac is another, and can be just as easy. Glenn discusses how it all works, and gives some real-life examples of how it can be useful.

Most, but not all, of his sessions are IT focused; we go through each one and cover what it will deliver, who should attend, and why at least one promises to be wildly entertaining. John also reveals who he’s afraid of at Macworld, how his view of the Mac universe is much different that most Mac users, and the many ways that Macworld delivers value to the IT professional and beyond.

Ron will take the intimidation out of approaching iPhone app development for non-technical people who are interested in tapping into the power of Apple’s mobile device. Why would you want an iPhone app? What should it do? How do you get there? Ron discusses how he will walk attendees through the process, examines the three business models for iPhone apps, compares the state of iPhone development by comparing it to the early days of the web, and engages in some iPad speculation.

Pointy Heads Software has been in the news with the release and approval of their Knocking Video Live for the iPhone, and Pointy Heads co-founder Brian Meehan joins us to tell the real story of the iPhone’s first live streaming video app. Taking a different tact on social networking, Knocking Live allows sharing of video from one iPhone to another over wifi or 3G networks. Brian explains the current capabilities of the app, some of their plans for the future, and the app is free to users for now. The second part of the story is that Knocking Live was originally rejected in the App Store, and it was only after Brian appealed to the highest level of Apple management (yes, that’s Steve Jobs) that approval was granted. Brian talks about how and why he plead his case, the reports of their use of private APIs, the companion Knocking Live Pic Sharing, and more.

Mac OS X 10.6 brought with it plenty of new capabilities, including some that involve your Mac and other devices. Michael Cohen helps you do just that in his new book, Take Control of Syncing Data in Snow Leopard. Michael helps you understand Snow Leopard syncing, including the new Sync Diagnostics, the truth database, and syncing with and without a MobileMe account. Think you need to reset your syncing? Michael explains the “thermonuclear option,” what it does, and when you should use it, the benefits of Exchange support, why you might see the Conflict Resolver in iCal even if you don’t make any changes, and more.

Mark Fuccio, Senior Director for Data Robotics, introduces the newest members of the Drobo family, the Drobo S and the Drobo Elite. Mark talks about how Drobo’s Beyond Raid technology puts them in a class by themselves, then delivers a product briefing on their two new Drobos. The Drobo S expands the popular Drobo to 5 bays and adds eSATA support, making it even more attractive for the home and small business market. The Drobo Elite is the big iron in the product matrix, with 8 bays, 2 x Gigabit Ethernet (iSCSI) and support for up to 16 hosts, and is squarely aimed at the corporate market…but that doesn’t mean you won’t want one. Mark talks about the dual drive redundancy built in to the new Drobo S, how you might use the 225 volumes the Drobo Elite supports, why you want to consider buying drives for your Drobo at their store, and more.

The Drobo Elite is the big iron in the product matrix, with 8 bays, 2 x Gigabit Ethernet (iSCSI) and support for up to 16 hosts, and is squarely aimed at the corporate market...but that doesn't mean you won't want one. Mark talks about the dual drive redundancy built in to the new Drobo S, how you might use the 225 volumes the Drobo Elite supports, why you want to consider buying drives for your Drobo at their store, and more.

In a wide-ranging conversation, publisher and Editor-in-Chief of MacTech magazine, Neil Ticktin, talks about their acquisition of MacMod.com, where modding fits in the Mac community, and why there probably won’t be many iPhone hardware mods. Neil also starts the celebration of MacTech’s 25th anniversary, and reveals why they aren’t feeling the pain many other print publications are. You’ll be surprised to hear that their readers want *more* ads, that Neil still believes that print is a superior delivery medium (and he can back it up), and what Neil thinks of the challenges of integrating technology into the educational system.

Philip Nelson, the Vice President of Strategic Development for NewTek explains why they decided to do a cross-country tour showing off their mobile HD production capabilities…in a Mini Cooper. Philip discusses the full video production capabilities of the TriCaster, from multi-camera input to internet-ready out put and how it puts a TV studio on your desk, then talks about the NewTek TriCasts America tour. A crew of four are covering 5,500 miles in less than a month, stopping at various cities along the way to show off their hardware and stream their events live. Philip covers those events, including some of the special guests and activities along the way, culminating in a special end-of-tour blow-out in New York City. Philip also reviews the ease of use of the TriCaster, how HD future-proofs your productions and more.

The new Take Control book, Take Control of Syncing Data in Leopard, is out, but not without some last-minute changes. Michael Cohen explains why this book (and this interview) had to be revised because of Apple’s early release of Snow Leopard, the release of iPhone 3.0, and even iTunes 9. Each of these both enhanced and complicated the task of syncing your data, and Michael proves himself a master of analogies in explaining each so that any user can make sense of them. Michael reviews the concepts of managed and unmanaged data in Snow Leopard, touches on Exchange support, and why he chose to cover third-party syncing utilities in the book. Bet you didn’t know that film star Hedy Lamarr is responsible for some of the technology in your Mac and iPhone, did you? Michael reveals what it is, how it got there, and what it has to do with the topic of syncing.

CrashPlan co-founder Matthew Dornquast explains how their products fill that gap at no cost for individuals, and very affordably for businesses. CrashPlan’s “social backup” model lets you manage both ends of the process, adding in bandwidth, compression, encryption and scheduling options so that it is all but invisible…until you need it. Free doesn’t mean feature-poor, however. Matthew discusses how they help you avoid the often days-long initial backup, making backups bootable, the special features that regularly check the integrity of your backup, and how you can even use an old PC to do your Mac backup bidding.

Too many Mac users live in fear of the command line, and are afraid of even launching the Terminal application. All that changes as Joe talks about why you would want to use the Terminal and what can be done there that is either easier or that can’t be done at all in the Finder. Joe employs more than a few cooking metaphors as he discusses why this Take Control book is different from any of his others, how he approaches the subject in a course-like fashion, and the care he’s taken to be certain that you will encounter no problems on your first journey into the power user’s part of the Mac OS.

You’ve probably been hearing a great deal about the South by Southwest Conference (SXSW), but weren’t sure what all the fuss is about. Mac expert, author and self-designated geek Dori Smith reports in from Austin to tell about her session there and how she stacked the deck, and why this music, film and interactive media conference is so important to Mac users. Dori covers both the formal and informal benefits of SXSW, compares and contrasts it to Macworld Conference & Expo, describes who should and should not attend, and delivers an insider’s hot tip on the best place for productive conversations (and it’s not at the conference itself).

Steve talks about how his wife inspired the project, how he tapped the Twitterverse for help, and what happened when the dust settled. While technically possible, running Leopard on a netbook isn’t a good idea for many reasons, and especially if you want to get any work done.

Boris Klaydman

The gap between iPhone 1.0 and 2.0, Apple’s elegant solution to the “one app at a time” problem, the first steps into cloud computing with the MobileMe enhancements, how they fit into a Microsoft Exchange world and what is known about Mac OS X Snow Leopard are all reviewed before John and Boris disappear into the WWDC party scene.

MacVoices‘ host Chuck Joiner is launching a new show: The MacJury, and the first show is being included on the MacVoices’ site and in the newsfeeds to help introduce listeners to the latest program for Mac news and entertainment. Each show will feature a different panel of personalities from the Mac universe in a freewheeling discussion that will interest Mac users of all levels.

The very first MacJury empaneled consists of some of the members of MacLevelTen, discussing the rise (or not) of Blu-Ray and how it affects Mac users. Will it solve all your storage problems, prove to be just a stop-gap technology, or be leapfrogged by faster bandwidth as a video delivery medium? The jury members then take on the Apple TV, what it brings to the table beyond movie rentals, and what needs to be added to make it a true killer product. Why there is a trend toward in-person tech conferences, why podcasts and social media may be helping drive that trend, and the dynamics of Twitter are all entered into evidence in the first show.

The jurors for this show include:

Pat
Fauquet
Don
McAllister
Jay
Nelson
Dan
Pourhadi

Ben covers some of the changes that make Automator more approachable than ever, and discusses the fact that many users are intimidated by the concept of creating workflows, and why they shouldn’t be. A common mis-conception is that AppleScript and Automator are the same thing; Ben dispels that myth, and answers the question, “Why would I want to automate anything?”
