Compact disc sales continue to decline, but is the CD’s time really over? Ted talks about where things stand and how the CD will live on for some uses. If CDs are dying, what about movie delivery? Ted had some recent experiences with Ultraviolet and explains the goods and bads of that interaction. To wrap up, Ted and Chuck discuss the degree to which technology has migrated to a media delivery focus.

Ted also names some favorite iPad apps (of course) and wraps up by helping the hold-outs decide whether they should buy an iPad.

If you haven’t joined Twitter yet, then you need to hear what prompted Ted Landau to get involved. Ted and Chuck Joiner talk about why Ted decided to give Twitter a try and what he gets out of it. Ted explains the methods and benefits of participating, some of the things you need to keep in mind to get the most out of Twitter, and why it is different from other social network options. If you think you’ve heard it all before, you haven’t. Ted then turns his attention to the future of the newspaper industry, how online publications have turned things upside down, and some of the variables that will determine the outcome.
