It has been a huge week for video and streaming media on the Web.

First, Netflix split into two companies, and that's after raising rates and losing the Starz library.

Then at Facebook's F8 developers' conference, the social platform company launched the timeline and the "lightweight engagement" model that will change how people find out about media to watch.

And then just today, Dish, which bought Blockbuster about five months ago, announced the Blockbuster Movie Pass, which the company appears to be pitching as a Netflix competitor.

Looming in the background of all this: the "cord cutters," people just itching to dump their traditional cable subscriptions and move their TV and movie viewing to Internet services. So we've got a lot to discuss on this show. Our guests to help sort it all out: Ryan Lawler, a writer at GigaOm; and Andrew Wallenstein, TV editor for Variety.

On today's show we're covering an emerging tech trend: The Quantified Self movement, or the collection of data streams about what we do, how we feel, how we move, and so on. Why? That's one of the big questions. The best answer is probably: to live better lives. And today we're talking with two entrepreneurs who are working on a subset of the quantified self movement: body monitoring. Both their companies have the goal of making us more aware of ourselves. Using that knowledge, hopefully, we can live more healthy lives.

Our guests are Monisha Perkash, CEO of Lumoback, which I covered this week from the Demo conference, and Jef Holove of Basis, which I wrote up in July.

Ten years ago, our world changed. Terrorists in hijacked jetliners brought down the World Trade Center towers in New York and crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. A fourth hijacked plane was forced down in Pennsylvania. A total of 2,819 people were killed. Since then, politicians and technologists have tried to create systems, products, and procedures to make sure we're never attacked this way again. Or if we are, that we can save lives affected by such an attack. There are positive results from this effort in how we react to all kinds disasters, but also downsides relating to privacy and money diverted from other programs.

To discuss the effects that 9/11 had on the development of technology, we're joined for this show by Jason Pontin, the editor and publisher of MIT Technology Review. Jason and I were both working at Red Herring on 9/11/01.

A few months ago I was invited down to PARC, the Palo Alto Research Center, to meet Ursula Burns, the CEO of Xerox, and Steve Hoover, the CEO of PARC. Xerox itself is becoming a rather traditional enterprise software and services company focusing on document management. But it still owns the majority share of PARC, one of the oldest and most productive tech labs in Silicon Valley.

PARC was founded in 1970. From this lab we got laser printing, Ethernet, the first PC (the Alto), object-oriented programming, and several silicon manufacturing technologies.

Today PARC is still turning out the inventions, under the leadership of Hoover. Today on the Roundtable we're going to get a tour of the PARC labs from Hoover, and then talk with him about the state of Silicon Valley, and about education, patents, and related topics.

We all knew this day was coming, but it was still a huge shock when Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs announced on Wednesday that he is resigning his role as CEO. Saying, "I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come."

So he's stepping out of that role, and becoming chairman of the board at Apple. Tim Cook, Apple's COO, will take his place as CEO. This is a major shift. Apple, to many people, is Steve Jobs. But in reality, Apple is also designer Jonathan Ive, logistics expert Tim Cook (now CEO), iOS lead Scott Forstall, and nearly 50,000 other employees.

We're going to talk today about the future of Apple under its new leadership, with three great guests from CNET: Josh Lowensohn, Jay Greene, and Brian Cooley.

In May, we had Nilay Patel on the show to discuss the patent mess. Since then, there's been a lot of really interesting news in the world of patents, Google's plans to buy Motorola Mobility, in particular. So it's time to bring Nilay back for a more detailed look at the state of the patent mess. And that's what we've done.

Happy birthday, IBM PC. Thirty years ago today, at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, IBM launched its first mass-market personal computer.

The IBM 5150 PC was not the first personal computer. The Apple II was on the market then, as were computers from Commodore and Atari and from several vendors selling CP/M micros. But it was, by any measure, the most important.

Although not for technical reasons. IBM designed the computer architecture, for example, but neither the CPU nor the operating system. Rather, what made the IBM PC such a watershed was that, first, it came from IBM, the company that had computing technology already installed at just about every major company. Second, it was the first successful open computing platform. The PC-compatible era gave us Compaq and then hundreds of "clone" vendors. It gave us the software industry as we know it. And today, the vast majority of desktop and laptop computers that the world uses are direct descendants of decisions made at IBM in 1980.

In this Reporters' Roundtable, we're going to talk about how the PC came to be today, as well as look at where it is and where it's going, with two guests I think you're really going to enjoy hearing from.

First, a previously recorded interview with David Bradley, one of the engineers on the original IBM PC project. He wrote the BIOS code and is famous for creating the Ctrl-Alt-Delete reset command. Bradley retired in 2004 after more than 28 years with IBM. He has also been an adjunct professor at Florida Atlantic University and North Carolina State University. Bradley received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Purdue University.

After that interview, we'll talk with Michael J. Miller, former editor in chief of PC Magazine, and now senior VP for technology strategy at Ziff Brothers Investments. I worked with Michael in 1988 when he was my boss at InfoWorld. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable about the history of computing, and has a sharp eye for what works in technology, and why. Michael still writes the Forward Thinking column for the PC Magazine site. This week, he wrote several stories about the IBM PC's birthday.
