The launch of a new MacVoices merch store kicks off this session, including product choices, embroidery options, and listener-requested items. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Ben Roethig, Marty Jencius, Jim Rea, Jeff Gamet, and Guy Serle then turn to Apple's lawsuit involving Jon Prosser, the default judgment being set aside, and what Apple may hope to gain through discovery.
