    Macstock Conference and Expo

    Guests:

    Michael Potter  is the Executive Producer of For Mac Eyes Only, and the organizer of the annual Macstock Conference and Expo. Mike's love-affair for all things Apple began in his Junior High's Library playing Lemonade Stand on a pair of brand new Apple ][+ computers. His penchant for Apple gear continued to be nurtured by the public school system when, in High School, he was hired as a lab supervisor to help run the Apple ][e lab for his fellow students and their Print Shop needs. Then, further still, in college he often opted to help a friend with her Computer Graphics coursework instead of focusing on his own studies, but only because it helped get him closer to the Mac-lab.

    The MacVoices Live! panel of Chuck JoinerDave GinsburgBen RoethigJeff GametWeb BixbyEric Bolden, Jim Rea, and Mark Fuccio  delves into the challenges of installing third-party app stores and game emulators on iPhones. We discuss the complexities and friction involved, touching on jailbreaking and the accessibility of apps through these stores. The recent allowance of game emulators on the App Store globally is explored, considering implications such as pirated software and fair use. We debate Apple's motivations behind these changes and the impact on users, including notarization for apps.
