Damn You Canadians! DAMN YOU!
Canadians get iTunes on the cheap

Apple Computer, which opened the virtual doors on the Canadian store late Wednesday, is selling songs for 99 Canadian cents, which translates to about 83 U.S. cents, 16 percent less than those in the United States pay for their iTunes.

It's an even bigger bargain when compared with Apple's European store, where most tracks cost 99 euro cents, which these days translates to $1.31 U.S. and a whopping $1.56 Canadian. Those in Britain pay even more, 79 pence ($1.52, or $1.81 Canadian).


"It's all relatively close," said Eddie Cue, Apple's vice president of applications.

5. Hmmmm, can I somehow access iTunes via Canada?
I know. I know. When we go over the border for our prescription drugs, I can ...

Well, I'll have to get a Canadian bank account, and a credit card, and... oh a job, so I have Canadian money.

Okay, okay. It won't work.
Drat!
