We start 2022 the same way we finished up 2021: by looking at some of the top Apple and tech stories with Ken Ray of macOSKen. Ken and Chuck finish up a discussion of the rise of the metaverse concept, then turn to an in-depth discussion of why Apple TV+ is different than other streaming services, and why it is and will continue to be important to Apple. The show wraps up with where Apple fits into the Work From Home movement, both past, present, and future. (2)  This edition of MacVoices is supported by Headspace. Meditation made simple.

Show Notes: Guests: Since May of 2005, Ken Ray has eaten, slept, and breathed Apple news and news related to Apple news in order to produce a daily Apple news show. and he does just that with Mac OS Ken, with content that  includes most stories directly related to Apple, many stories indirectly related to Apple that stand a chance of affecting Apple's business or its users, and tangentially related stories that are funny. A slightly skewed, sometimes cynical, obsessive look at Apple news, five-days-a-week. Ken also produces The Checklist by SecureMac, a security-oriented podcast, and his newest show is In A Few Minutes. There are various ways you can contact him.   Support:      Become a MacVoices Patron on Patreon     http://patreon.com/macvoices      Enjoy this episode?
