It was so much fun the first time, we decided to do it again. A second MacJury panel takes on the question of holiday gifts and delivers yet another eclectic and intriguing set of picks that include both tech and non-tech options. It isn’t too late to get some great gift picks from the panel of Karen Anderson, Steve Sande, Tim Verpoorten and host Chuck Joiner.
