Posted by CowboyNeal on from the joining-the-fray dept.

Grump writes "Diving into the already crowded online music business, XM Radio Online, will launch sometime in early October and operate commercial-free, just as its satellite programming does.

    Okay, so this may be a little offtopic, but...
    Which satellite radio service is better in you /.er's opinions? I was already leaning towards Sirius because of the free internet streaming and nfl, but xm seems to have a few more channels.
    What do you think?

    Everyone wants to be as cool as Apple. Linux and WIndows both want to be OS X. Sony wants an iPod. HP BOUGHT the iPod. Gateway wants a G5. Dell wants a Powerbook. CompUSA wants to be the Apple Store. Everybody wants iTunes.

    The amount of new and innovative that has been manufactured by Apple recently is absolutely staggering.

    Business isn't willing to pay for products, innovation and careers, so we get brands, mortgage commercials and layoffs.

      For gods sake Apples Ipod was not inovative, it was marketed sure but Creative had solid state mp3 players long before apple did. I absolutly fail to see where Windows wants to be OSX and as far as I'm concerned linux only wants to be OSX when someone applys a theme for it.

      Apple markets way more then they innovate. They know their Apple fanboys will pay hand over fist for their newest smooth peice of plastic regardless of the fact it is slower and does less then hundreds of alternitives out there.

      And don't harp on to me about reliablity and manufacturing quality. My AMD Processor has yet to let me down, nor has my Asus Motherboard or my Sony DVD Writer. Also my 5 button Microsoft mouse is just aces.
