2024 FLASH! Dear Listeners: Gene Steinberg’s Tech Night Owl LIVE will return as a weekly podcast on May 18. So stay tuned for updates. And we will continue to post our famous cutting-edge commentaries on the world of consumer electronics, with the emphasis on Apple Inc., and pop culture, in The Tech Night Owl BLOG.
July 6, 2019 (DOWNLOAD — Free Version): Gene Steinberg first began to explore the world of technology in the 1980s. He has written 30 books and numerous articles on these subjects. And each week on The Tech Night Owl LIVE, Gene, an award-winning tech journalist, speaks directly about the industry’s movers and shakers, including corporate leaders and industry analysts, featuring the most respected journalists who cover personal technology. The Tech Night Owl LIVE also focuses on pop culture with a sci-fi and tech slant.
After 17 years as a pioneer in online radio and podcasting, this episode was, at the time, the final original episode of The Tech Night Owl LIVE. For this show, we gathered some of our favorite guests to reminisce and talk about the present and the near-future of or favorite fruit company, Apple Inc. It all began with the early days of the Internet, its complexities, and Apple’s path from Macintosh to iPod, to its most lucrative product, the iPhone, followed by the iPad, Apple Watch and beyond. There is also an extensive discussion about the prospects for the success of Apple’s fledgling services, which include News+, a premium version of the app offering access to hundreds of magazines and newspapers, and Apple TV+, in which the company is spending billions of dollars to hire top-flight talent to create original TV shows. Where did Apple+ fit in market currently owned by Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and other streaming services? And this question essentially predicts our complicated streaming situation in the present day: Are there already too many for a newcomer to succeed? Guests for this very special episode included tech commentator and publisher Adam Engst, Editor and Publisher of TidBITS, outspoken veteran tech commentator Peter Cohen, cutting-edge commentator and podcaster Kirk McElhearn.
