MacJury #801: The MacJury Is Called To Order on Blu-Ray, the Apple TV, Tech Conferences and More
Posted by Chuck on April 8th, 2008
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:

Why do I get so the impression that I’m listening to inside baseball here? I’m not very familiar with the Anglo-Saxon judicial system, but I get the impression that jury duty isn’t considered to be something people like to do. So the title of the show is perhaps a bit of a disadvantage.
Just some friendly advice of a loyal MacVoices listener. I hope you can use it to your advantage.
