This sequence of the Macworld Podcast looks squarely at Apple but just a fleck to the left and right field of the Mac . To the left field are Apple ’s past and present digital rights management effort . To the right wing , running Windows on the Mac . Somewhere in between , the opening of Boston ’s Boylston Street Apple Store . We cover all three in episode 121 .

Mr. Moren then joins me live over Skype to talk over the past , present , and future of media and digital right management . And yes , that discussion include uncalled-for poke at Microsoft and the Zune .
