December can be a slow time around the Macworld function , and this year was no exclusion — at least until Tuesday ’s newsworthiness about Apple ’s Macworld Expo plans broke . Nevertheless , when it came time to fix this week ’s podcast wrap up the boastful news of 2008 , we were left without many ideas on how to creatively do a year - end retrospective .

Which is when we came up with a great program — steal from our betters .

We also conceive the Fighting Talk format would be a great elbow room to attend back at the year in Macs . So connect me and panelists Jason Snell , Christopher Breen , and Roman Loyola as we ante up homage to a great radio programme with our own version of Macworld Fighting Talk .

Show notes

Even though Apple announced it would n’t participate in Macworld Expo after the show in January 2009 right as we were about to immortalise our podcast , we still found the time to discuss it in our show . Be sure to read Jason Snell ’s commentary on the Expo news program as well as Rob Griffiths ’ look at the final stage of an geological era for Macworld Expo .

During our podcast , we mention the late word about Apple telling Mac users to instal antivirus software and then by and by take that support varlet . Be certain to translate Christopher Breen ’s late Mac 911 mail service on whether you need antivirus software .
