A live download offers a closer look at the applications. The conversation also explores the Swift Angels developer meetup, LinkedIn’s growing importance for professional networking, and generational differences in technology. The panel includes&amp;amp;nbsp;Chuck Joiner,&amp;amp;nbsp;Jim Rea,&amp;amp;nbsp;Guy Serle, Eric Bolden, and&amp;amp;nbsp;Marty Jencius.  MacVoices is supported by CleanMyMac from MacPaw.
