I am somewhat disturbed by the nationalistic tones in some of the comments, but I am even more disturbed by the facts. This whole thing is not based on some new law, but by the adventurous interpretation of an old law by the Federal Agency for Streets and Traffic. Apparently they hate the thought of being deprived of their wonderful source of revenue, so they just introduced the most extensive interpretation of the law, sort of like saying: if you don't like it, sue me. It is more than a little doubtful that the Supreme Court of Switzerland will uphold their point of view. In the meantime I am indeed ashamed that English and French authorities have enough respect of their citizens to warn them of fixed radars whereas Switzerland "the home of the free" does not!

"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
