After only a few hours with the release of OS X 10.7 Lion, members of The MacJury go on the record with their first impressions, favorite features and missing pieces of Apple’s new big cat. Concern is expressed over Apple’s tending toward bandwidth intensity, a cable provider is found guilty, and software incompatibility warnings are issued. The panel examines the question of natural and unnatural scrolling, finds a missing piece of Finder information, explains why Lion Server is exciting and more. Putting their heads in Lion’s mouth are Peter Cohen, Jeff Gamet, Steve Sande and host Chuck Joiner.
LinksIn a very brief update, Chuck explains the short hiatus for all the MacVoices Group shows, and promises to be back soon.

The WWDC 2011 announcements were many, varied, and all important. The MacJury convened to analyze the information and provide insight into everything Steve Jobs and company unveiled. Some of the topics discussed include the focus on touch, iMessage’s kill feature, Lion Server, the presence of Twitter and absence of Facebook, Game Center, the Reader feature in Safari, the many aspects of iCloud, issues surrounding bandwidth use and caps, Photo Stream, and why one panel member considers iTunes Match “freakin’ awesome.” Delivering all that and more are Peter Cohen, Mark Fuccio, Dave Hamilton, Don McAllister and host Chuck Joiner.
