They have a ton of out going cash.....satellites in orbit are not cheap, 500 million to Howard stern was a lot too...but look at it this way...
SIRIUS XM 18.6 million users x $13 a month = $241.8 million a month in revenues thats almost 3 billion a year...its only a matter of time till they turn aprofit...
 
First thing that came to mind, before even clicking the link, was the Segway. Biggest VC failure of all time.

Slowly it advanced to an ipod like system where songs could be transferred via a itunes like interface at speeds of 10-20x.

what yall know about that?? APPLE isnt this widely huge innovation power.

sad to see them go... They even advanced technlogy in the disc storage space from basic 700mb type to a few GB.. soon they had the big chance to move over to strictly harddrive based

one of the first units with a backlit and not to mention editable text for your songs:

you have to re encode all your songs to atrac and then it transfers

but the remote is straight up pimp status

overall the sound quality and designs are great

but its no where near as convenient as a flash mp3 player

I dont see what the problem with Vista is.......ive had it for 3 months and it works just fine for me.
 
youtube fails when it comes to spam... spammers steal the booty shaking videos and tag them with their website... thats annoying as %@**
 
Windows ME was by far a bigger failure than Vista. Ask most people what Windows ME is and most never even heard of it, MS has pretty much wiped the name fromits records as if it never existed. Vista is a victim of XP's success, but if you have a decent amount of RAM and SP1 its a good OS, you just have to getpast the annoying initial Security features and customize it.
