NASHVILLE, TN (PRWEB) June 13, 2003 -- Guests from Ulead Systems and Apress will appear on radio talk show "Let's Talk Computers". Ulead Systems is the third-largest multimedia software vendor in the United States and holds over 50% of the video editing software market in Japan. Apress publishes titles of the highest caliber for computer professionals, their new book is In Search of Stupidity: Over Twenty Years of High Tech Marketing Disasters". Lets Talk Computers ranks as one of the longest-running computer radio talk shows, and airs on multiple radio stations weekly - and 24 hours a day, seven days a week on the Internet.

Founded in 1989, Ulead Systems, http://www.ulead.com, produces multimedia software for users of all levels. Brian Hoffman, Product Manager for Consumer Video and DVD Products discusses Ulead's Video and DVD products. Ulead® DVD PictureShow 2 - Digital Camera Suite is a complete photo sharing solution for your digital camera that allows you to create digital image slideshows with transitions, text and music on CDs AND DVDs to watch on TV. Ulead® DVD MovieFactory 2 is the easiest and fastest way to burn burn home movies onto DVDs or CDs, complete with professional DVD navigation, dual-layer menus and scene selection. Ulead® VideoStudio 7 is intuitive video-editing software with real-time technology that lets users easily create professional-looking video and see their editing decisions immediately.

In 1982 Tom Peters and Robert Waterman kicked off the modern business book era with "In Search of Excellence: Lessons from America's Best-Run Companies". Unfortunately, many of the firms the book profiled, including Atari, Data General, DEC, IBM, Lanier, NCR, Wang, Xerox and others either crashed and burned or underwent painful and wrenching traumas you would have expected excellent companies to avoid. Merrill R. (Rick) Chapman believes that high-tech companies periodically meltdown because they fail to learn from the lessons of the past and thus continue to make the same completely avoidable mistakes again and again. His latest book from Apress, http://www.apress.com, proves the point as it takes the reader on a fascinating and wide-ranging journey from yesterday to today as it salvages some of high-tech's most famous shipwrecks with timely analyses of what happened to hole, damage, and even sink some of the industry's very own Titanics. "In Search of Stupidity: Over 20 Years of High-Tech Marketing Disasters" is the indispensable book for anyone who wishes to understand what companies do to fail, what they can do to avoid making yesterday's mistakes yet again, and who desperately desires to never ever see their company profiled in a sequel.
