The first part of our first holiday party on MacVoices Live! started with an idea, but was quickly taken over by a discussion of the much-hyped Apple Car. The panel of David Ginsburg, Kelly Guimont, Guy Serle, Frank Petrie, Brittany Smith, and Andrew Orr talk about what it might be, what they think makes sense, and who might be involved.

<h3>Show Notes:</h3>
<p><strong>Guests:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Andrew Orr</strong> is a freelance writer and amateur photographer. He loves Apple products and enjoys writing and sharing all things tech. When he's not writing about Apple, you can often find him snapping photos with his iPhone. Read what he writes at <a href="http://macobserver.com"><strong>The Mac Observer</strong></a>, and follow him <a href="http://twitter.com/andrewornot"><strong>on Twitter</strong></a>.</p>
<p>By day, <strong>Bart Busschots </strong>is a Linux sysadmin and Perl programmer, and a keen amateur photographer when ever he gets the time. Bart hosts and produces the <a href="http://www.lets-talk.ie"><strong>Let's Talk podcast series</strong></a> - a monthly Apple show that takes a big-picture look at the last month in Apple news, and a monthly photography show focusing on the art and craft of photography. Every second week Bart is the guest for the Chit Chat Across the Pond segment on Allison Sheridan's <a href="http://www.podfeet.com"><strong>NosillaCast</strong></a>. You can get links to everything Bart gets up including a link to his photography and his <a href="http://www.bartb.ie"><strong>personal blog</strong></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Michael Potter</strong>  is the Executive Producer of<strong> <a href="http://www.formaceyesonly.com">For Mac Eyes Only</a></strong>, and the organizer of the annual<a href="http://macstockconferenceandexpo.com"><strong> Macstock Conference and Expo</strong></a>. 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.</p>

<p><strong>Andrew Orr</strong> is a freelance writer and amateur photographer. He loves Apple products and enjoys writing and sharing all things tech. When he's not writing about Apple, you can often find him snapping photos with his iPhone. Read what he writes at <a href="http://macobserver.com"><strong>The Mac Observer</strong></a>, and follow him <a href="http://twitter.com/andrewornot"><strong>on Twitter</strong></a>.</p>
<p>By day, <strong>Bart Busschots </strong>is a Linux sysadmin and Perl programmer, and a keen amateur photographer when ever he gets the time. Bart hosts and produces the <a href="http://www.lets-talk.ie"><strong>Let's Talk podcast series</strong></a> - a monthly Apple show that takes a big-picture look at the last month in Apple news, and a monthly photography show focusing on the art and craft of photography. Every second week Bart is the guest for the Chit Chat Across the Pond segment on Allison Sheridan's <a href="http://www.podfeet.com"><strong>NosillaCast</strong></a>. You can get links to everything Bart gets up including a link to his photography and his <a href="http://www.bartb.ie"><strong>personal blog</strong></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Michael Potter</strong>  is the Executive Producer of<strong> <a href="http://www.formaceyesonly.com">For Mac Eyes Only</a></strong>, and the organizer of the annual<a href="http://macstockconferenceandexpo.com"><strong> Macstock Conference and Expo</strong></a>. 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.</p>

This MacVoices Live! discussion shifted to an examination of the possibility of Apple Hardware Subscriptions. The panel of David Ginsburg, Mark Fuccio, Andrew Orr, and Frank Petrie discuss and debate the feasibility of the business model from both the consumer and Apple standpoints, identify some existing options that are almost like a subscription service, and some of the challenges of putting it all together. (Part 2 of 2)

<p>The latest edition of MacVoices Live! marked our first dual stream to both Facebook and YouTube as the panel of <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Mark Fuccio</strong>, <strong>Andrew Orr</strong>, and <strong>Frank Petrie</strong> provided some follow-up information from a viewer on our AirPods Max evaluation. The discussion then turned to an article by Andrew and the debate over why Google Chrome is slowing down some users’ computers, what Keystone is, and why it is even there. (Part 1 of 2)</p>

<p>A recent MacVoices Live! session asked the panel to discuss where they spend their online time and why, and boy, did they deliver! <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Frank Petrie</strong>, <strong>Kelly Guimont</strong>, <strong>Guy Serle</strong>, <strong>Andrew Orr</strong>, and <strong>Mark Fuccio </strong>discuss the obvious online destinations as well as some more specialized, unexpected options. Factors such as content, policies, the presence of friends and more are all in the mix when making the decisions about where to be when and how often. (Part 1)</p>

<p>Part 2 of our MacVoices Live! panel of <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Kelly Guimont</strong>, <strong>Brittany Smith</strong>, <strong>Andrew Orr</strong>, <strong>Frank Petrie</strong>, <strong>Guy Serle</strong>, and <strong>Mark Fuccio </strong>continued their discussion of past and present macOS/chip transitions, then shift to Apple’s decision to reduce their commission on app store developers from 30% to 15% for developers earning less than $1 million per year. The issue is more complex than you might think.</p>
