Podcasts about apple's ibooks

Georgina Atwell is the founder of Toppsta, a community for reading, reviewing and discovering great children's books. Before that, she worked at Penguin UK, and also for Apple's iBooks team, which all gives her a unique perspective! In this episode, we talk about the importance of flexibility to a small business, how best to use Facebook and social media (and when to own your own customer relationships), and how writing and reading reviews gives a better experience than algorithms.

We all experience the voice of the Inner Critic. This week on Sparta Chicks Radio, Tara Mohr, a women's leadership and wellbeing expert, will help you not only recognise your Inner Critic but share some practical tools so you can learn to live with your fear, self-doubt and Inner Critic, but not be held back by it. Tara specialises in helping women to 'play big' which is also the title of her book, which was named by Apple's iBooks as a "best book of the year". She has been featured in the New York Times, the Today Show in the US, Harvard Business Review & Oprah.com. We spend much of this conversation dedicated to the Inner Critic. Tara also turns the tables on me and we discuss my struggles with the Inner Critic around this podcast.  Get the full show notes for the episode here. — Visit the Sparta Chicks Radio website here Follow Sparta Chicks on Instagram: facebook.com/SpartaChicks Follow Tara on Instagram: instagram.com/tarasophiamohr

THIS WEEK ON TECH'S MESSAGE Nate and Ian discuss the UK companies building wireless 'turrets' to shoot nuisance consumer drones, or UAVs, out of the sky by scrambling the communications link to their operator's control unit; and as Harry Potter's entire original run of novels is re-released in enhanced and interactive format for Apple's iBooks store, we talk to family technology expert Andy Robertson to see whether modern parents - and indeed their children - are asking for novels in such forms. Plus Microsoft's latest Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book laptop are released along with UK pricing so we take the opportunity to recap their features and determine whether they're worth the attention and price (clue: they are).

This week the Robots sit down with former co-host Ryan Stevenson to brainstorm his supernatural mystery story, as well as discuss what we've been up and what Apple's iBooks software might mean for self-publishers. We hope you enjoy!

Kirk McElhearn, who is now Macworld's "iTunes Guy," gives you some hard-won tips about using iTunes, and he also outlines some of the problems reported with iTunes Match and iCloud. Commentator Daniel Eran Dilger, from Roughly Drafted Magazine and AppleInsider, discusses the Consumer Electronics Show, along with the issues involving the various hardware and software platforms from the likes of Intel, AMD, ARM, Apple, and Google. We're also joined by Rob Pegoraro, a tech writer for USAToday.com, who discusses Apple's iBooks 2, its impact to education, and the ongoing controversy over the now-shelved Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).
