As the summer blockbuster movie season enters
full swing, IBM (NYSE: IBM) explores the "Future of Movies," a podcast with Yair Landau, former President of

enabling consumer demand for more customization on how they enjoy
entertainment, the movie studios must adapt and content providers must
adjust to new web-based distribution channels such as YouTube.
