(^ in case anyone needed confirmation)
Whether it's to blame for the current disruption, who knows but could be a convenient excuse?
Since when does Apple Maps or the App Store come on physical media?, because they were having issues as wellBuy physical media.
On par with their current business models for hardware.They had no trouble taking my money for a movie rental and starting the 48 hour clock, but they won't actually stream the movie. On the Apple TV, I get the message, "Unable to Play: There's a problem playing this video. The issue is being worked on. Try again later." On the Mac TV app, trying to stream eventually fails silently and closes the window, unless I try to download the movie, in which case I see, "There was a problem downloading 'x'. An internal server error occurred. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." The first admits there is a problem; the second tries to blame me and my network, but at least it's polite and remembers to say "please."
If the problem isn't resolved within 48 hours, I guess I'm out $3.99. Collecting service revenue without providing the service is nice work if you can get it.
