We present our 2014 year-ender featuring prolific author and commentator Bob “Dr. Mac†LeVitus. During this session, he'll comment on the recent fear-mongering story about Apple allegedly forcing unwanted security updates on Mac users. He'll also deliver some clever low-cost suggestions for your post-holiday tech gear shopping list.

You'll also hear from Susie Ochs, Executive Editor of Macworld, who will also talk about that story about automatic updates. She'll also discuss the quality of Apple's press coverage, whether there is really such a thing as an "Apple Tax," where you supposedly pay more for a product with the Apple label, and whether the company's quality control has suffered with the proliferation of products and services.
