MacVoices #22041: MacVoices Live! - Super Bowl Tech Ads, QR Code Security (1)

The MacVoices Live! panel of David Ginsburg, Guy Serle, Andrew Orr, Jim Rea, and Kelly Guimont takes a look at the Super Bowl ads that had a tech bent, especially the crypto and Amazon Alexa ads. Were they effective? One of them took down the company's server, and one of them seemed to be open to misinterpretation. Was the use of a QR code a good idea or a dangerous precedent? (Part 1)

Kelly Guimont is a podcaster and friend of the Rebel Alliance. She appears on The Incomparable network as well as hosts I Want My M(CU) TV. You can also hear her on The Aftershow with Mike Rose, and she still has more to say which she saves for Twitter.

Guy Serle, best known for being one of the co-hosts of the MyMac Podcast, sincerely apologizes for anything he has done or caused to have happened while in possession of dangerous podcasting equipment. He should know better but being a blonde from Florida means he's probably incapable of understanding the damage he has wrought. Guy is also the author of the novel, The Maltese Cube. You can follow his exploits on Twitter, catch him on Mac to the Future on Facebook, and find everything at VertShark.com.
