After too long an absence,\xa0Peter Cohen joined us for a recent\xa0MacVoices Live!, along with\xa0Jeff Gamet,\xa0Mark Fuccio,\xa0David Ginsburg, and\xa0Brittany Smith. Peter social media posts are always thought-provoking, even if you don\u2019t agree with his position. He discusses the inspiration for his insights and provides some guidance on what not to do, then dissects the controversy stirred up (or not) by the Coalition for App Fairness. The panel looks at the group\u2019s agenda and intent, and the implications for end users. (Part 1 of 2)
