But one of the features that is just under the surface is related to security and has been dubbed Gatekeeper. So what is Gatekeeper, why do we need it, and how will it effect how you use the Mac?

Maccast MembersA podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 111. Apple held it’s big education event in New York and announced iBooks 2 which, as expected, brings textbooks to the iPad. They also announced a new free authoring tool for iBooks called “iBooks Author” and a created a new iOS app for iTunes U content. After a few days parsing the announcements and playing with the tools and new content I share some of my thoughts on what I think Apple is up to as it refocuses on it’s education business.
