iTunes Store Frustration

So, the US iTunes Music Store has nothing by The Housemartins, why not try the UK store? Bang, more Housemartins than one would ever want, wonderful. I was ready to pay the slightly inflated £0.79 (USD 1.49) for the song, but wait, I don’t have a UK music store account and I can’t create one without a UK billing address. What a crock! One would think that Apple and the record companies would be more than willing to sell music to whomever is willing to pony up the bucks (or quid), but apparently that is not the case.

Fun with Bloglines

boncey.org:

Go to bloglines (don’t think you need to have an account). Find your own blog on bloglines (if it’s not there you can sign up and add it I guess, if you don’t have a blog this one’s not for you). Click related feeds (each time you click they may change slightly). Post the top 5 (or more) on your blog.

Here’s the top 10 for this site:

  1. Dave Shea’s mezzoblue
  2. Wired News
  3. Aaron Swartz: The Weblog
  4. Eschaton
  5. Lessig Blog
  6. Jeffrey Zeldman Presents: The Daily Report
  7. Gizmodo
  8. Dilbert
  9. Flashpoint
  10. Scott McMullan: ehick
