MacVoices #13190: Mike Muhney Helps You Make Connections with VIPorbit

To call VIPorbit a contact manager is a bit of an over-simplification. Mike Muhney, the CEO and co-founder of VIPorbit, explains why, after he created ACT!, the Windows-standard for customer relationship management, he moved on to the Apple platforms to build a system that is both simple and powerful. Mike’s passion shows through as he walks us through both the concepts and functions of VIPorbit for the Mac, iPhone and iPad, why he selected a proprietary sync service, and how VIPorbit  can help you organize all of the contacts in your business and personal life.

MacVoices #13189: The MacJury Examines The Larger Issues Surrounding Apple’s Announcements

As the dust cleared from Apple’s October 22 event featuring the iPad Air, updates to the MacBook Pro and more, The MacJury convened to look at some of the larger issues surrounding those announcements. The effects of a fee-free Mavericks on adoption and software valuation, contrasting iPad and Microsoft Surface announcements, and the reaction to the Mac Pro’s price are where the discussion started. Who’s buying what, the implications of the iPad Air’s name and  whether updating almost the entire Apple product line is a good thing are all part of the conversation with Mark Fuccio, Jeff Gamet, Ted Landau  and host Chuck Joiner.
