MacVoices #1211: Road to Macworld – Mapdiva Makes Both Cartography and Just Plain Drawing Easy

If The Road to Macworld | iWorld 2012 had a map, it was probably created with Ortelius from Mapdiva. Jill Saligoe-Simmel and Graham Cox talk about their unique cartography application, and why it takes a specialized tool set to successfully draw a map. Mapdiva doesn’t just do maps, however. Artboard is an approachable vector drawing program that comes with plenty of included styles and clipart to get you started.

MacVoices #1210: Road to Macworld – Cliff Miller of Splashtop Previews His IT Conference Session and Discusses Virtual Desktop Software

The Road to Macworld | iWorld 2012 is a long one for some. Cliff Miller, Chief Marketing Officer for Splashtop, talks to us from Beijing about his IT Conference track session, iPads in the enterprise market, and the service department view of IT departments as technology has evolved. Unlike Macs in the enterprise, which were often brought in the back door, the iPad is being carried in the front, and support demanded rather than requested. Chris addresses these developments, and profiles his company’s high-performance virtual desktop software, Splashtop Remote Desktop for iPad.
