At one time, the computer was the computer and the TV was the TV and never the twain should meet. Yet increasingly computers are being used for entertainment purposes and televisions are packed with more smarts than ever before. Our own Chris Breen decided to bring the two together by incorporating a Mac mini into his home media center. He joins me to talk about the experience.

Apple’s iTunes Store has just passed a major milestone—10 years in business and still thriving. I’m joined by Chris Breen, Jon Seff, and Kirk McElhearn to talk about just what’s happened over the past 10 years—from protected music downloads to the introduction of TV shows and movies. Along the way we talk about where Apple might make improvements as well as what the store may look like in the next 10 years.

Apple tallied $43.6 billion in sales for its fiscal second quarter—a record for the company’s March quarter—and saw a net profit of $9.6 billion. So naturally, Wall Street has decided that Apple is doomed.
But is it? We talk Apple’s fortunes in this edition of the Macworld Podcast, as senior editor Dan Moren and editorial director Jason Snell join me in making sense of all the numbers thrown out as part of this week’s earnings announcement. We explain why the picture’s not as bleak as Wall Street might paint, address some areas of concern, and even spend some time talking about those forthcoming product announcements Tim Cook hinted at during his remarks with analysts.

Though Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference may be the big fish of Apple-related gatherings, a number of smaller conferences have sprung up over the past several years. I sit down with senior writer Lex Friedman, just back from the Úll conference in Dublin, Ireland to discuss these events and what they offer that Apple can't match.

Increasingly the iPad is found not just attached to recumbent bodies on a couch but in businesses as well. With that in mind, Macworld, under the guidance of one of our guests, has introduced The iPad Office ebook. I’m joined by that book’s editor, Serenity Caldwell, as well as some of those who were responsible for the contents within it to share tips for using an iPad intended for business.

Mark your calendars because the iTunes Store has an anniversary coming up. Apple started selling music downloads on April 28, 2003—a business decision that seems to have worked out pretty well for the company considering that Apple has since sold more than 25 billion songs.
There’ll be time enough to reflect on the impact of the iTunes Store later this month. In this episode of the Macworld Podcast, I’m joined by executive editor Jonathan Seff and senior editor Dan Moren, as we reflect on another aspect of the store’s stellar growth over the past decade—the fact that the iTunes Store itself has gotten a little unwieldy in recent years.
And stick around after our iTunes discussion for some bonus talk, as Dan Moren fills us in on the iPhone 5 coming to T-Mobile.
