It's one of those extended translations. It means "suckering the world
into another useless product".

I can't wait for the day when I can toss out all of my AM/FM radios to
buy a digital radio whose format will only be good for 5 years until
they expect you to throw out that radio and buy another. How about those
TVs as well. What a hoot that Radio Shack is still selling the tiny
handheld TVs, considering that soon they will be totally useless, I
guess everyone is going to carry a cable TV converter size box so that
they can use their handheld TVs. Not likely.

And for all you radio collectors, those of you with radios from the
1930s that still function. You'll need to start your own low power
station to listen to them soon.



Already ahead of them on this one.. there's nothing worth tuning in on AM
anymore anyway (or even FM for that matter in many cases). Besides, I can
run my own AM transmitter without all the sickenening, ear-pounding
processing used in commercial stations these days. Those old radios had a
lot better fidelity than any of the new ones, why not use a signal source
that can take advantage of it instead of a sickeningly narrow 5KHz bandwidth
with the modulation processed to have a whole 6 dB dynamic range??
