Looking back at the company's history offers some idea about where it might be headed, but it's easier to figure out what's really happening by going right to the top, so The Mac Observer sat down with company founder Rich Siegel.

His work in Quantum Electrodynamics earned him a Nobel Prize in 1965, and his famous "Red Book" series of Lectures on Physics have been a staple for several generations of physics students.  Recently, Bill Gates put seven of the Messenger Series Lectures by Dr. Feynman on the Internet.  News, Reporter's Notebook Wed, 15 Jul 2009 15:31:02 -0400 http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/at_sxsw_michael_penn_talks_itunes_film_music_and_hypercard/ http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/at_sxsw_michael_penn_talks_itunes_film_music_and_hypercard/ To me, the whole point of the sessions at South by Southwest is to find something that blends together everything that's happening in our world in new and unique ways. Such was the case with an interview with Michael Penn that I saw as part of the SXSW Film conference in which he talks about iTunes, the nature of the music industry, and even the importance of Hypercard!
