XM and Sirius radio are merging! The Justice Department said it was ok and it totally won't hurt competition to have all the satellite radio provided by one company, because they actually compete with land-based radio, or something. In honor of the deal, Sirius is starting ten thousand more stations devoted to shitty 90s rock and Howard Stern saying naughty words. [AP]

Important news for the carless! Car-sharing companies Zipcar and Flexcar announced their merger today, which doesn't actually mean much for New York Zipcar members unless they'd like to rent in one of the cities currently only served by Flexcar (like Philly, if you have some ugly friends to visit). Zipcar is totally awesome for things like impulse trips to the nearest Sonic or Dairy Queen, so we recommend it highly. [Zipcar]

Here she explains the touching marital bond that she shares with Diller.
