MacVoices #14216: Focused on Microsoft’s ‘Free’ Office Apps and Their Impact, with Mark Fuccio

Mark Fuccio helps us kick off a new MacVoices series, Focused, with a discussion of Microsoft Office apps on the iPad and iPhone. Are they really “free,” or should you consider them more of a freemium version to drive you to Office 365? What did Microsoft, and the tech press, do right and wrong with the announcement? Is unlimited cloud storage in OneDrive important, relevant or even a good idea? And whatever happened to the Surface?

MacVoices #14215: Dan Frakes Talks iTunes 12 Challenges, Office Opportunities Lost and iMac 5K


Dan Frakes joins in the discussion about iTunes 12, the problems, and what you can do about it. Is it the future of music management on the Apple platform, or a misstep? Microsoft announced that they were making their Office apps for iPad and iPhone free…but is it too little too late? What was their real motivation? Dan looks at those questions, talks about what he’s doing now, and why the iMac 5K is amazing, even if he is using it mainly for text.
