Innovation.

When Microsoft says "innovation," they mean stuffing somebody else's idea into their monopoly operating system. Ah, but when Google or Apple use the word, they've got the paradigm-pushing products to back it up. The world is literally heaping money on these guys.

How about on-the-air radio?

There's JackFM. Zzzzzz.

There's talk that one or two of the Wall Street license-collectors are starting talk formats on some of their FM stations.

There's Air America. Where loudmouth liberals prove they can be every bit as obnoxious as Limbaugh, Hannity, and Savage.

There's Howard Stern. Did I hear he's preparing a flatulence channel for Sirius? There's all the buzz about which arrested-development pottymouth jock(s) will replace him on steel-tower radio.

There's Hispanic radio--an industry discovers a lot of Latinos live in the U.S. I hear there's a new Spanish format -- "Jose." (See "Jack," above.)

There's Arbitron's People Meter. Think diaries without pencils.

You tell me: who's innovating, and who's just rearranging Titanic deck chairs?
