    Good point. Windows still seems to be the os for people who write code, but but beyond that OS X is smooth sailing by comparison.

    Also liked the old format better. It was quicker and nimbler. No need to fix if not broken. Or, incremental changes over wholesale.

  • Sirius Aims to Go Viral with iPhone [View article]
    SiriusXM should work to get their boxes in during manufacture and appear in cars in the place of terrestrial radios, so that it's just a given when you get a new car. Why don't they look to Delco as a partner. Maybe this is already the case in part. Don't have XM, but have some stock. From reading their line up, it seems like to have the best content around.

  • Media Companies: Use It or Merge It [View article]
    Nice forward looking article.

    "...and the ultimate collapse of Sirius Satellite Radio." is being reported on the slowly reviving deal front?
    Interesting. More fodder for a sci fi future!
    Exponential data base expansion will lead the way.

    Good point. Mac owners, myself included, assume they are safe from hackers. So far so good, it would seem. Anyone care to enlighten us as to why they have been so invulnerable to date?
