The software is only available to those who have US based accounts. They can travel the world and the app will still work for those users. The exception is China where Apple is disabling it when US users travel there.
I live in Canada and the app is no where to be seen on my iPhone.
Why? Because it's all about integration with the Apple eco-system. The current Apple TV is a useful companion device to the iPhone, iPad and Mac and the new one will add to that. If you're not invested in their eco-system then buying would not be useful to you.
There is an option in iTunes to leave the song files in their original location. I keep all my songs organized my way on a NAS and just point iTunes to it. The songs are not copied or moved to my Mac.
Less than a year? The original iPad got over two years of support. First sold with iOS 3 but could update to iOS 4 & 5.
Apple's first generation devices tend to get relatively short support but lately they seem to have settled into a 4 year cycle. For example, the iPhone 4, first sold in July 2010, got the most recent OS up until this past Wednesday, 4 years and 2 months.
Actually Apple is generally much better that Google in this regard. While you can find a few Apple devices that got relatively short support (especially early models), typically most devices now get about 4 years of updates. The iPhone 4, released in 2010, still getting updates though that will stop when Apple releases iOS8 in September. The iPad 2 released in 2011, still getting updates and will get iOS 8.
Actually all you had to do is click the Next button twice to bypass. The first time it will complain that the form isn't filled in, the second time it will continue on.
none of those SIGNIFICANTLY affected me. they changed small numbers n my life, nothing more. The ones that did have substantive effect would have done so independent of which government was elected.
Those events have changed life in this country significantly, including your life. You're refusing to acknowledge their significance to prop up your silly theory.
Was it ten years ago that the conservatives had 2 (TWO!) seats only?! How crazy different did things become? They were so bad that they lost horribly. And the country didn't really change for me at all. Did it change that drastically for you?
BTW that was 19 years ago and things most certainly did change for me. I lost my job because Chretien was elected. I was in the military then and savage cuts to the armed forces by the new Chretien government meant I was out of a job. It wouldn't have happened if the PCs had won that election. So yeah governments do matter and NO I will not join you.
Some day, IF one of those elected leaders does something that greatly affects me, THEN you'll be correct. But for the last 32 years, you've been wrong.
Have I?
In the last 32 years we've seen the re-patriation of our constitution and the implementation of a Charter of Rights and Freedoms. That's had a huge impact on Canadian law and rules that govern us. That affects you.
In 1988 an entire election was fought over the Free Trade Agreement with the USA. John Turner's Liberals opposed it. So the FTA was not a given. Our economy would be much different today if it wasn't implemented. Yes that would affect you too.
Then there's NAFTA with Chretien, Paul Martin's choices for reducing our deficit, or the implementation of Same Sex Marriage (may not affect you but it did for some) Harper opposed it if the vote had been delayed by a few months it never would have happened.
There's so many things that government does that affects us and voting is the average citizen's say in it.
You've chosen a cynical view to excuse your lack of interest in the things around you.
With no difference of any substance, I care, but don't see any value in voting.
That's copout to not get involved.
If Diefenbaker was never elected the Avro Arrow might never have been cancelled If Pearson was never elected we might not have Universal Health Care If Trudeau was never elected we might not have the Just Society and re-patriated constitution If Mulroney was never elected we might not have Free Trade
Are you saying that these elected men had no substance? Their policies (good or bad) shaped what Canada is today and their influence on everyday life was huge.
It's easy to get cynical with today's politics but I'd rather have a say in what goes on (not matter how small) than no say at all.
Some day one of those elected leaders is going to do something that will greatly affect you, what are you going to say then?
Sorry but the multitasking in Win 9x was crap as was the rest of the OS. I'm well aware of Windows 2000. As I said MOST of the Windows world didn't switch to a TRUE multitasking OS until XP and it wasn't really ready until SP1, a year later.

Well according to Apple (scroll to the very bottom to see the disclaimer) it is only available to US users. However it was mentioned at WWDC that the UK and Australia would be getting the app as well.

Off the top os my head I can think of iCloud photos & videos, AirPlay, Siri, iPhone/iPads as controllers, etc. Lots more to it than just iTunes.
In the past Apple has called the Apple TV a hobby. They maybe ready to take it more seriously now.

If you Mac can run 10.9 it can run 10.10. Apple hasn't obsoleted any Mac hardware since the release of Mountain Lion in 2012.

Remember how Apple was going to open up FaceTime? Lots of people are still waiting for that one.
Opening FaceTime didn't happened because if a lawsuit. They were sued by VirnetX and Apple lost.

Complete and utter BS.
I always local sync and backup my iOS devices via USB with OS X and continue to do so in Mavericks.

Install Atomic Browser on the iPad, it has the ability to change the user agent string.
In other words: He's a politician.

So you've managed to convince yourself that doing nothing is actually doing something? That's an amazing world you live in.

It could with IOS 3 too.
You want to have songs on your iPod AND your iPhone? No deal! Buy it twice!
Not true at all. 100% false. Truth this is not.
I've got my songs on 3 iDevices, paid once.

Classic MacOS did co-operative mutlitasking.
And most of the Windows world didn't switch to a true multitasking OS until Windows XP was released... and that was AFTER OS X came out.
I am still bothered by the way he pretended to invent multitasking instead of just admitting that he was catching up to Android,
Where did he ever say that? When he introduced multitasking for the iPhone he said that Apple was "late to the party".
Seriously I really think Apple-haters like to make things like this up or seem unable to separate marketing-speeak from reality.
The iPad 1 already has video out. You just had to buy the necessary adapter. You could also use AirPlay.
