I Appreciate Satellite Radio Because...

I'm not kidding...this is actually on the Apple iTunes website (LINK):

"So, you’re driving and you hear a brilliant song on the radio. You get home, log on to iTunes, and buy the song for 99¢. Then you sync it to your iPod. But what if you want to hear that song at work? Now you can, with reverse sync. Connect your iPod to any authorized computer..."

So, I assume they're listening to terrestrial when they hear that "brilliant song", because otherwise, they wouldn't need an iPod. Since Apple makes computers as well, perhaps this multi-step procedure was invented to help them sell more Macs, or perhaps they don't know that when you hear a song that you like on satellite radio, you can save it right to "wearable" device and skip the computer. Oh, well...
