We've all held on to things like CDs and DVDs for too long. As you ring in the new year, there's no better time to start tossing out the stuff you are hoarding, and move your life online. Digitizing your life is easier than you may think.
Rene Ritchie, Managing Editor at iMore, shares some tips on how to bring your life into the 21st century. Everything from books to CDs has a digital version. With a few inexpensive subscriptions, you can access all of the content that is cluttering your shelves at home.

Apple warned of a potential $8 billion future sales hit due to supply issues, but Dan Ives, the managing director of equity research at Wedbush Securities, noted that the record quarterly report the tech giant posted shows demand remains high for Apple products and services. Ives joined Cheddar to explain why investors should look past the warning. "In these types of markets where many are yelling fire in a crowded theater, you look at the demand trends because that continues to be the focus for Apple," he said "I think you combine that with the services. I view it as a defensive name. It's a Rock of Gibraltar stock in a Category 5 storm as well as also an offensive play as I believe we start to move out of some of these just brutal headwinds that we've been seeing in the market once the Fed rips the band-aid off."
