XM / Sirius merger approved! {Engadget}

Mar 24th 2008 6:24PM Will will this affect XM Canada and Sirius Canada? Both Canadian companies are only partly-owned by their U.S. "parents", with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation owning 40% of Sirius Canada and XM Canada being over 50% Canadian-owned.

If they merge the services in the U.S. as a lot of people on here are calling for, the 15-year license for XM Canada to broadcast XM's content will make for an interesting situation seeing as they would then be broadcasting the same thing that Sirius Canada would be (excluding the Canadian channels). There is also the question of Canadian regulations regarding ownership that might factor into it (since the new XM/Sirius company would own large chunks of the two major satellite radio companies in Canada).

Because of their involvement in places like Canada, is a U.S. regulatory stamp of approval all they need?

PlayStation 3 to ship region free! {Engadget}

Mar 26th 2006 9:16PM when it comes to Nazi material, region-free shouldn't make a difference, as Germany is in Region 2, along with the rest of Europe. So if a game is shipped to anywhere in Europe on a region-restricted disc/player, it would still work in Germany.

Restrictions on that kind of material would come down to language -- don't ship it in German, so if they really want to play it, they can buy a copy in another language. Either way, if someone really wants it, they'll get it.

Samsung has a perfume phone in the works? {Engadget Mobile}

Mar 26th 2006 7:10PM Think mace. While handing over your phone and valuables to a would-be mugger, just yell "Damn, Ethel!" and out mists a nice cloud of your favourite anti-mugger chemical.

It's all in the marketing.
