Are some options better than others? Who owns the data you upload to the cloud? How does each service perform? Who do you trust? These and other cloudy issues are pondered and discussed with humor, caution, and maybe a little paranoia. Then, with equal seriousness, the panel talks about some products that don’t exist just yet, but that they would like to see and have. No science fiction here, just some options that developers might want to pay attention to. All this and more is offered by the panel of Mark Fuccio, John Martellaro and host Chuck Joiner.

Is Apple taking a leadership role in moving textbooks to ebooks, or just trying to exert control over part of the ebook space? The evidence is considered by the panel of Weldon Dodd, Tonya Engst, Pat Fauquet and host Chuck Joiner.

Is Apple taking a leadership role in moving textbooks to ebooks, or just trying to exert control over part of the ebook space? The evidence is considered by the panel of Weldon Dodd, Tonya Engst, Pat Fauquet and host Chuck Joiner.

The panel look beyond the obvious concern for Mr. Jobs’ well-being to discuss how the announcement was made, what it says about who knew what when, and why the resignation was tendered now. What shareholders need to know, Apple’s amazing successes of the past, the future of the company, and how it all will fit together are part of a thoughtful conversation with Bryan Chaffin, Katie Floyd, Jeff Gamet and host Chuck Joiner.

The panel look beyond the obvious concern for Mr. Jobs’ well-being to discuss how the announcement was made, what it says about who knew what when, and why the resignation was tendered now.

The question of the number of apps in the Mac App Store, the store’s features and how what is and isn’t there affects vendors, the importance of demo versions and much more are covered by the very diverse panel of Mark Fuccio, Tom Loverro, Rich Harrington, Jean MacDonald and host Chuck Joiner.
