MacVoices #22212: MacVoices Live! - Laptops or Notebooks; AirTags and Lufthansa (1)

This MacVoices Live! panel starts off by looking at the change Apple made in how it refers to its laptops…or notebooks…whatever. What’s the logic behind it? Then, a surprisingly spirited discussion of the Apple AirTag/Lufthansa kicks off with the obvious questions: How could any airline let this story get so out of hand? Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Warren Sklar, Jim Rea, Andrew Orr, Web Bixby, Jeff Gamet, and Guy Serle have some ideas.
