The Dance

Personally, I think we should come up with some kind of iTMS dance, and then at the exact same time, all go outside and ask the Apple Gods (mainly Jobs) for some iTunes magic.

A gift from Our President to Your Nation!

Is it coincidence that Canada gets the iTunes Music Store exactly while our duly-elected leader is visiting? HMMMM. (I'm leaving off the cliche response, "I think not", leaving it as an exercise for the reader.)

Now we can be one big happy country once again (except if you are involved in the beef or timber industry)! ;-)

It is December 1st!

So, are people buying tracks, eh?

Yikes! You don't know how to use that word.

This is how it should have been said,

"So, people are now buying tracks, eh?"


That would be Canadian. What you said was a little weird to say the least.

;)

If this were true, and the recent changes iTMS behaviour we've seen were in preparation for this launch, why has Apple now returned iTMS to its original functional state? Colour me skeptical.

An optimist would say because they got the kinks all worked out, and so are now just waiting to flip the switch...

I'm not necessarily saying I'm an optimist though!

I guess Apple usually releases their stuff around 12pm EST... so we'll see...

That is exactly why patience is very important with Apple. Glitches happen.

After a delay reaching the promised November release, we've learned from an inside source that the Canadian localization of the iTunes Music Store is headed for launch on December 1.


In all fairness Macrumors has lost all credibility by posting this new forum today. Even if it does come out today, you've ruined it now after this post. It was fun on the 26th, logical on the 30th but today you're just taking the p*ss.

Apple certainly needs to offer iTunes very soon. If not they will miss out on holiday sales. :D

Well one thing I know is that the "not available in your country yet" page at least honours the ability to view the front page of other stores normally!

Maybe we do get iTMS Canada today...

This is better than the Comedy Channel!

These past two threads have been the funniest I've ever seen on MacRumors.

In regards to the Canada store...... I don't know what to believe anymore. I will forever take what Apple says with a grain of salt. I do believe they are way to silent on issues like this. As customers, we deserve to be informed, bottom line.

Imitating someone from Fargo? That's definitely not an imitation of a Canadian.

If you think you can do a better job, start your own Macrumors-esque web site. The people that run this site do a hell of a job and do the best with the information they're given.

Do you live in Canada?

You obviously didn't get to meet our Prez while he was up there yesterday. :rolleyes:
