Other than the rebroadcasted major market channels KIIS and Z100 on channels 11 and 12, what music channels are playing commercials?

Channel 76 and below (except 11/12) are all still commercial free. I can't speak for 77-79 (kids), and some of the 140+ Latino channels, but...

What music channels, exactly, are playing commercials on XM?

Stop screwing up the nerdrage with pointless facts.

Coming up on my 24 month anniversary for my cyborgification. Also an ICD, mine due to complete heart block. Upside is that due to me not actually using it much, the battery should last much longer than originally anticipated.

Don't forget to carry your 'get out of invasive scanners free' card! And BTW, the wands are worse than the loops.

Also get used to hearing this from other doctors "Oh, we'll just send you for an MRI... Oh, wait..."

So does ./ have some kind of promotional relationship with startswithabang? If so you should disclose it.

The blog does have interesting material, and its appropriate for /., so its not like its bad that every article on there is making the /. front page. But its kind of odd that every article on there is making the ./ front page.

Not necessarily a burden on Apple. However, visibly better apps and a better way to find them makes iOS devices more attractive to consumers. 'Supplementary goods' is the term I recall from college. (Ok, it was a university, but just barely).

Actually, the argument could be made that a customer buys the 'ecosystem', making the market and the device one and the same. Point remains: improve app store, improve sales.

The mating call of the celibate slashdotter. Your 'solutions' provide none except for a few corner cases. Even if 100,000 or a million people are interested, that's a drop in the bucket compared to the number of active phones out there.

Other people; they matter.

Lots of people who were buying when available to sell for a profit. I have a few friends who did this (they offered me sales at cost, reserving their price gouging for strangers. I never did take them up on their offers. I don't think anybody I know made much money. Most were happy to break even when prices started to dip :)
