Hey, buddy, where have you been?

We have a money machine running in the "Market Watch" thread.

Does someone have a link to this Sirius ad on yahoo?

Hey Hopeful. I've seen three now. A FATHERS DAY ad no less. Believe it. It's TRUE.

Do you think Sirius XM is really going to slow roll us on the howard 100 and 101 channels being released? If there is some technical reason why they could not get those channels on this application after all this time, this is an epic failure.

Interesting question..... A 7 day free trial, is that correct? I have to agree with you.

Liquid shit. Now, maybe in two weeks for an additional $x.xx you can get Howard. I don't know, but that is the way that I take it so far.

Charles. It may make Howard fans crazy, but we'll see about the overall move itself. They had to have thought it out ahead of time. We'll see. Nice articles by the way. Thanks.

As a consumer I HATE being nickeled and dimed. This is reminding me of those airline commercials where you have to pay a separate fee for everything... including the bathroom.

What I dont understand is why they cant broadcast those channels, essentially it is just an internet feed and they already have access to that so, what gives? How the hell could Howard have a contract written in such a way that he could control his content going out to an iPhone? I am hoenstly asking because I dont think he does have that control.

lightbulb!

Did apple block the stations? Apple is notorious for not approve R rated stuff. Maybe the deal with Sirius was that they would list the application as long as they stripped out those channels?

Which might be good news because apple is working on a new R rated section for raunchier iPhone applications

[SiriusBuzz]

nevermind, it cant be any worse then the virius, which is available.
