The Drill Down

© Dale Stephanos

This week TDD regulars JD Rucker and Andrew Sorcini are joined by The Bacon Queen herself, blogger extraordinaire Amy Vernon, as we discuss the release of Apple’s iPad and the  impact it will have on consumers, developers, publishers, and authors. We’re joined in the discussion by Slashfilmcast host (and new iPad owner) David Chen. Later we discuss April Fool’s Day on the web, a campaign by independent film producers to sue thousands of illegal downloaders, and the end (and legacy) of Fox’s ’24′.
