Howard Stern...meh. Satellite radio...meh. I can do without either one. I just don't see the point in radio period. Sure, satellite is uncernsored and commercial-free...but so are my CDs.
I'm with Robert. I don't want to have to go out and buy the tuner and THEN fork over more money for the subscription just to find out whether I like it or not. That's like paying for a year's subscription to an Asian film channel because I might like a movie they show every now and then.
I guess 10 million is a lot...even though it's less than 3% of America's population. I do think satellite will win out over commercial radio eventually, but that's a long ways away and they'll have to fix some issues they've got before people really get interested.
While I'm thinking about it, what's up with fucking iPods? First of all, they're overpriced and they have tons of technical bugs (not the least of which is their non-replacable battery problems and numerous computer interface problems) and there happen to be better, cheaper, easier to use MP3 players out there. Besides, do you really need 20 gigs of storage so you can listen to music on your way to class? Or even 5 gigs? Hell...512MB would work fine for me...and I like some diverse shit. Even my digital camera has an MP3 function so, with a 512MB card in it *BOOM*, I beat your shitty iPod. I really think Apple just likes to introduce overpriced and shitty products so people can feel all upper-crust when they buy them. Fuck the iPod.
