In Las Vegas at Showstoppers at CES, we saw and heard a demo of the technology behind the Miari speaker from SoundFun that was more than surprising. Kai Kitayama talked us through the demo that provided a wider and longer field of sound than you would expect, and how it can enhance the dialog from your TV. (Host’s Note: Audio demos are always difficult in a conference environment, which made this one that much more impressive. Please understand that the in-person experience was truly impressive and worth exploring.)

Chuck Joiner, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Jim Rea, Ben Roethig, Jeff Gamet, Web Bixby, and Mark Fuccio express disappointment in Threads' lack of a web app and discuss Instagram's data collection practices.

<p>In the final part of this MacVoices Live! session, the panel of <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Ben Roethig</strong>, <strong>Jeff Gamet</strong> and <strong>Web Bixby</strong><strong> </strong>discuss Goldman Sachs’ reported $1 billion loss on Apple Card. We speculate on other factors like changing interest rates and their foray into the consumer loan business as possible explanations. Just for fun, we consider the idea of Apple potentially acquiring Goldman Sachs to expand into consumer finance.

<p>The MacVoices Live! panel of <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Ben Roethig</strong>, <strong>Jeff Gamet</strong> and <strong>Web Bixby</strong> went shopping on Amazon Prime Day (who didn’t), and reveal their purchases both tech and non-tech. That led to some discussion of hardware choices past and present, and what effect participating in the annual shopping event has on data collection. This part of the discussion concludes with observations about the adoption rate of Threads. (Part 1) </p>

<p>In the second part of our discussion with <strong>Joe Kissell </strong>about <strong><a href="https://www.takecontrolbooks.com/digital-legacy/#tab-toc">Take Control of Your Digital Legacy, Second Edition</a>, </strong>Joe talks about the importance of designating a trusted digital executor and consulting professionals for handling digital assets. We recover the risks of relying on third-party services and the need for a backup plan. Practical tips include writing your own obituary and carefully managing passwords. Joe's book on digital legacy offers more detailed information and even a template you can use. (2) </p>

<p>In Part 2 of our conversation about <strong><a href="https://rockynook.com/shop/image-editing/lightroom/adobe-lightroom/ref/251/?campaign=jccom">Adobe Lightroom: A Complete Course and Compendium of Features</a> </strong>author <strong>Jeff Carlson</strong> explores the usability of Lightroom's features for landscape photography and the masking feature,which allows for precise adjustments without affecting the rest of the image. The importance of understanding Lightroom's capabilities is emphasized, and the Jeff explains how this book aims to guide photographers in approaching their editing process differently. We also touch on Lightroom Classic's plug-in system and its flexibility in integrating with other applications. Jeff shares insights on exporting images from Lightroom, editing them in other programs, and re-importing them versus using third-party plugins within Lightroom. We wrap up by discussing AI's influence on photography. (Part 2) </p>

<p>This MacVoices Live! session starts off with a discussion of the impact of Apple's API restrictions on third-party applications, particularly in relation to mail plug-ins in Sonoma. <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>Jim Rea</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Ben Roethig</strong>, <strong>Brian Flanigan-Arthurs</strong> and <strong>Web Bixby</strong> explore the importance of having a backup plan and the challenges faced by developers when APIs lack functionality. We also cover alternative options for Gmail users and workarounds for using Apple Mail with Outlook. Other topics include MSG file compatibility on Mac, the popularity of shows like "Silo" and "Foundation," and the possibility of a season four of "Ted Lasso.” (Part 1) </p>

<p><strong>Joe Kissell</strong> is back to discuss his latest book, <a href="https://www.takecontrolbooks.com/passwords/"><strong>Take Control of Your Passwords</strong></a>. First up is the ever-increasing importance of password hygiene in our digital age as passwords remain an easy target for hackers. We delved into Passkeys, a more secure alternative to traditional passwords, and the recent developments in their adoption, including support from Microsoft, Google, and password managers. Joe also also touched on the challenges of saving Passkeys in third-party tools and the ongoing work being done to solve this issue. (Part 1) </p>

<p>Our conversation with <strong>Rachel Schmitz </strong>on <strong><a href="http://macstockconferenceandexpo.com">The Road to Macstock</a> </strong>outlines her unique approach to the conference’s topic of “Learn”. How living with a geek “rubs off”, lessons from how she and husband <strong>Mike Schmitz </strong>are raising their family in an intentional way, with different approaches to learning and creativity, and more are all part of a different kind of discussion. </p>

<p>Rachel Schmitz is mostly a nerd by association. She has bachelors degrees in both fine arts and theology. She began her photography business in 2006, called the Art of Kairos, specializing in wedding photography and custom designed leather bound albums. Her business pivoted to contract commercial photography the final few years until she closed her business in 2020. Her use of technology is driven by the mission and mantra: Create not Consume!<br /><br />At that point, her focus turned to homeschooling her tribe of 5 children (4 sons and 1 tenacious daughter). She loves learning alongside her children and cultivates insatiable curiosity in them. She launched the Intentional Family podcast with her husband as a solution for endless calls, emails, and pleas for help from the multitude of parents suddenly in a world requiring them to navigate schooling at home in 2020.<br /><br />Unapologetically, Rachel is not on social media.

<p>Our <strong>Road to <a href="http://macstockconferenceandexpo.com">Macstock</a> </strong>series continues in a conversation with <strong>Jill McKlnley</strong>, a first-time presenter at the conference. Jill will be talking about “Using Your Sticks”, her metaphor for being more productive with your Apple tech. Jill should know: she talks about her journey from Windows user to podcast listener to switcher ad podcast producer. Her perspective on why the Mac, and on piece of software, make her choice obvious. </p>

<p>Our latest <strong>Road to <a href="http://macstockconferenceandexpo.com">Macstock</a> </strong>conversation is with cognitive neuroscientist and productivity coach <strong>Brittany Smith</strong>, who will be making her first appearance at the conference. Brittany will be taking a different approach to the topic of “Learn”, and discussing where and how we expend our mental energy to achieve the best results. She gives us a small look at how that thinking integrates with some software tools, as well as providing her thinking on appropriate uses of multitasking. </p>

<p>At NAB, we had an interesting discussion with <strong>Glen Mulcahy</strong>, the Managing Director of <strong><a href="http://mojofest.eu">Mojofest</a>,</strong> about the development of mobile journalism (mojo). How news stories and more get from happening to you has changed a great deal over the years. Glenn talks about those changes, how the iPhone has made things previously impossible a common event, and why there is still a need for crews and specialized gear. </p>

<p>Our CES wrap-up prompted a passionate discussion of what expectations we should have for products exhibited. <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Norbert Frassa</strong>, <strong>Guy Serle</strong>, <strong>Jim Rea</strong>, <strong>Jeff Gamet</strong>, <strong>Brittany Smith</strong> and <strong>Mark Fuccio</strong> debate what fits the mold and why. Next, the panel considers the fact that Apple will soon be using AI to create audiobooks that don’t have or might not get an audio version. Who benefits, who loses? Can AI match a human narrator, or are they two different things? </p>

<p>At <a href="http://ces.tech"><strong>CES</strong></a> in Las Vegas, we found <strong><a href="http://what3words.com">What3Words</a> </strong>in the Automotive Pavilion. PR Manager <strong>Frankie Cowan</strong> explained why they were there, and how their service lets you pinpoint your location down to a 3-meter square using a three-word combination. And that’s anywhere in the world: What3Words has it all mapped out, supports a variety of languages, has an iOS app, and much more. Frankie talks about the adoption of their service by emergency service, how some pop culture icons have adopted them, and more. </p>

<p>This time, the MacVoices Live! panel of <strong>Chuck</strong><b> Joiner</b>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Mark Fuccio</strong>, <strong>Jim Rea</strong>, and <strong>Warren Sklar </strong>shift gears with a report on the JAMF User Nation conference, their exclusive focus on the Apple market, and a notable customer who has abandoned Android and moved to JAMF-managed apple devices.

Is it Apple being targeted with unreasonable requirements, or are they appeasing their detractors before the requirement becomes reality? (Part 2) </p>

<p>What if your iPhone or iPad could be a a 3D tracking, previz, and virtual production tool? It can! <strong>Joshua Davies</strong>, the founder and CEO of <a href="https://fxhome.com/"><strong>FXhome</strong></a>, introduces us to <strong><a href="https://fxhome.com/">CamTrackAR</a></strong>, their iOS/iPadOS app that does just that. You may have already had a taste if you watched Apple’s <strong>Spring Loaded</strong> event; CamTrackAR was one of the apps featured. Josh talks about why their appearance meant so much to him before digging in to that CamTrackAR can do for video creators who want to incorporate virtual backgrounds and 3D objects into their projects, and how it allows you to take your production workflow into the field. And it is free to get started! </p>

<p>The Apple App Store just had its 12th anniversary week. How time flies! The panel of <strong>Mark Fuccio</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Kelly Guimont</strong>, <strong>Warren Sklar</strong><strong>, </strong>and host <strong>Chuck Joiner </strong>talk about the development of The App Store, its importance to the Apple ecosystem, and how it drove the utility of the iPhone and iPad. The fees Apple charges developers, for both being a developer as well as distributing the apps, sparks an enthusiastic discussion of transparency and services. (Part 1)</p>

<p><strong>Jim Tierney</strong>, Chief Executive Anarchist at <a href="http://digitalanarchy.com"><strong>Digital Anarchy</strong></a>, is back to update us on the latest version of Transcriptive, the Adobe Premier plugin that delivers time-coded transcriptions. But that’s just the start. Jim explains the use cases of the new web-based version that offers your clients the ability to edit the transcript, and therefore, edit the video. Jim discusses why paper editing isn’t dead yet, why you might want to use Transcriptive on all that video that you’re shooting, and more.</p>

<p><strong>Jeff Gamet </strong>of <a href="http://smilesoftware.com"><strong>Smile</strong></a> is back in a wide-ranging conversation that runs from Smile’s Catalina preparations to why security settings will get better over time. Along the way are discussions of why private cloud servers are often better for developers, the sometimes-unseen benefits of subscription software, and one of the surprising ways he stays organized during travel.</p>
