"Problems with the solar arrays that generate power for the company's Boeing 702 satellites have been acknowledged since last September, when Boeing said the solar arrays could degrade sooner than expected. XM Satellite Radio has since said the problem could affect its two satellites as early as 2005. Analysts are now debating whether that will throw a wrench in the quality of the company's broadcasting service or in its otherwise strong business."

Remember the cardinal rule of 21st century reporting. No bad news! The only news fit to print is that which is regurgitated from the AP or Reuters feeds after being properly conditioned by the NSA for warm fuzziness and verified as carrying an approved message by our global overlords.

So much modern tech today would seem like some crazy magic to people only 100 years ago.

That being said, my XM worked perfectly around 10am CST on my way to work.
