I'm sure they'll air them at some point in the future, but for now there's a cost for remastering the episodes, and so I'd say it's fair for the beeb to try and recover some of the cost through iTunes/Amazon.
Note that the Arlada Express train does not have a paid exit, and the 75 SEK (~10 USD) fee is you're on a monthly travel card going by commuter train.
If you simply get a one way ticket on the commuter train (130 SEK or so), the exit cost is included in the price.
There really isn't a difference from some of the other train lines (Further than BÃ¥lsta requires an extra ticket, as does travel to Gnesta I believe).
Also, you can get a monthly card that actually includes the Arlanda station fee.
Obviously, neither taxis, private cars, Uber et.c. get to drop you off where you are. However, the pre-filled line with cabs is regulated to be only Taxi Stockholm, Taxi Kurir and Taxi 020 to my knowledge.
Others can just simply pick you up next to that queue.
Apple tried to claim a class 38 / "telecommunications service" trademark on iPhone, since they figured iFone weren't using theirs actively (remember, this is trademark law, nothing else).
They already have a class 9 and class 28 mark, which covers electronic gaming devices et.c.
Apple can still sell the iPhone in mexico, they just can't claim it's a telecommunication service.
Selling it as a phone/smartphone/gaming device is not a problem, and so there's nothing to see here.
But at least you got riled up about how they're scumbags, when they're just trying to follow generally accepted behaviour for copyright law, but I digress...
I agree that it's not super easy to use, but it's also leaps and bounds ahead of the CLI, meaning it's easier to use and re-use. You don't need to remember command line arguments or hunt through man-pages, you "just" nest a bunch of actions and conditions in a graphical process.
For one-offs, I still use the CLI, but for recurring tasks I usually build something in Automator.
I was quite tempted to mod you up, but I would say that even then, in your last example, there are other tools available for users and power users.
OS X has its Automator.app which lets you build up a workflow that can run as a separate program, or as a "folder action" (essentially a macro applied to files in a specific folder).
It gives you most of the power of the CLI, with more ease of use.
The XP firewall is a joke. Notice how you can start an FTP client, connect to a server and continue having the connection open and transfer files while the firewall dialogue box waits for you to press allow or block?
The iMac was the first computer with USB as the only peripheral connector- i.e., no serial port, no parallel port et.c. The difference between portable music players back in the day was that one took two seconds to transfer a song, others took around a minute.
The ability to pass COM objects around in.net is great -- but why not start off being able to do that at the CLI and build on top of that, so that if you have to, it can all be done over something like SSH.

I say that as a long time Solaris and Linux guy, btw. PowerShell is one of the recent things Microsoft has done fairly well.
PowerShell is basically a dumbed down, interpreted version of dotnet. Pass objects all you want!
Personally, I live in southern Stockholm. I do not have municipal broadband; my ISP has its own backhaul.
Back in the day when I paid for it, I paid 325 SEK per month ($51 at today's rate). They lowered it to 245 SEK per month ($38) for a few months, and then my home owners' association decided to pick up the bill.
That's a 100/10 connection, 4 IP addresses, private ISP with their own backhaul.

Basically, you've been misinformed.

Funny.
I was on OxyContin (timed release) and OxyNorm (quick release) for about a year.
I paid roughly $90 for that.
Then again, we have socialized healthcare where I live.
Unsubsidized, $90 would cover roughly one month.
And that's the 40mg ones. 5s and 20s are cheaper.
rapist.

Most of Apple's machines have a SD card slot.
Uh, no.
Search was their first product.
Google Groups was later. End of '01 perhaps?
Except they already declined a buyout for billions.
They're not hurting.
The original iPod had 5 or 10GB of disk.
It wasn't until the Zen that NOMAD got firewire.
Thanks for playing!
You there, pimple faced 360 fan in the corner.
Yes, you with your ADHD and twitchy thumbs.

OMG THEY'RE FLOPPING!
These are adventure games, not heave heavy hardcore action games.
Take them for what they are, and they're easily best in their class.
Seriously? That was one of the worst characters in the Star Wars saga!
Muphry's Law.
Seriously.
10.6.8 broke optical audio out for many, many users.
OH MY GOD, DID YOU WARN THEM?!
(hello, lameness filter! how have you been?)
No, this is an in-place upgrade. No rebooting required.
As such, you won't actually have to burn anything.
+ 100 USD monthly for having an active account.

MBA. "Deep sleep", aka hibernation. 3 secs to fully usable.
Seriously?
Plex (XBMC fork) has had full support for Logitech Harmony for ages now.
Command-P, Preview.
Isn't it nice when you have a sane printing method in your OS? How about "Save as PDF?" or "Save as PostScript"?
