Did everybody now when the update ios 4.3 for iphone4 comes?

Jim Whitelaw — If you read this keep up the fight and id definately help the cause in this case. any updates on this would be great.

Create a US iTunes account using a US address (just pick a city somewhere – search the internet or some 411 site for a fake address and zip code) and a US gift card that you can order from a couple of places online: http://itunes-giftcards.com/Home.html and http://www.aionwowbuy.com/

You CAN switch stores if you switch accounts.

I did the same thing as everyone else – bought $50 gift cards from Costco for Christmas presents last year, and the extras for myself for apps for my (then) new iPhone. I rarely buy music from the iTunes store – I like to purchase hard copies of my music. I want to be able to re-rip if something bad happens – and as a 15 year Mac tech – bad stuff happens – even with backups!!

We Canadians aren’t vocal or angry enough to file a class-action lawsuit – unless it’s about a car¦

Also, I checked the cards prior to purchasing them to see if they could be used for apps. The card said “Get the latest music, movies, TV Shows and more” on the front and there was no mention of any exclusions from the iTunes store on the back. It did, however, say I couldn’t refund the card … they did make sure to mention that.

Given the circumstances, I think everyone would agree that the implication was that the card could be used for apps and games and that the average person would have no way of knowing that this was not the case. I think that Apple should think REALLY, REALLY hard about making this right.

You are not owed a job by anyone.
1st, you bitch about being paid low wages by Volt (it’s not apple who pays you. apple would simply have a contract with volt. Volt can pass whatever amount they want to their employees)
Then you complain that those low paying jobs are being sent someplace else.

Your ancestors…. the ones who built the USA….. were happy to simply have a job.
Unfortunately their offspring seem to feel, they deserve a different “deal”…. Especially a different “deal” than those who live in other countries.

North Americans are stupid enough to pay too much for houses, too much for vehicles, to much for computers, iphones etc…. then we bitch about not being able to afford those things when times get tough…. LOL

It will all balance out eventually… prices will drop, to match the lower income levels that will be common in the west. In the meantime we will learn some humbling lessons.

Think you have it bad ? Try visiting other countries….. then you won’t bitch.

iPhone Accounting Change Could Send Apple Profits And Stock To Moon (AAPL)Henry Blodget|Sep. 12, 2009, 8:08 AM |http://www.businessinsider.com/henry-blodget-new-apple-iphone-accounting-change-could-send-profits-and-stock-to-moon-2009-9

BUT EVEN MORE IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE IS THIS…THE PRICE RIGHT NOW FOR ONE SHARE OF APPLE STOCK IS $190.56. THIS IS AT THE SAME TIME CONTRACTED EMPLOYEES OF VOLT THAT HAVE FLEXED THEIR MUSCLES TO HELP MAKE THIS HAPPEN FOR APPLE, NOT ONLY AREN’T GOING TO SEE A PAYCHECK FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT WEEK, EVEN WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN GETTING A PAYCHECK, THE AVERAGE WEEKLY PAY THEY SEE IS RIGHT AROUND THE PRICE OF ONE MEASELY SHARE OF APPLE’S COVETED STOCK! THAT’S RIGHT, FOR BETWEEN 11 AND 13 DOLLARS AN HOUR, VOLT CONTRACTORS HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR CLOSE TO A YEAR NOW AT THE ADDISON SITE, TO BE TOLD TO WORK OVERTIME UP TO 72 HOURS A WEEK OR DOWN TO 20 HOURS A WEEK WITH ALL THE CARE AND WARMTH OF JUST ANOTHER CORPORATE GIANT FEEDING ON THE HEARTS BLOOD OF PEOPLE JUST TRYING TO PUT FOOD ON THEIR TABLES FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES.

IF YOU AREN’T MAD YOU AREN’T CONSCIENCE IS A BUMPER STICKER THAT SCREAMS RIGHT NOW OF THE MIND NUMBING CORPORATE GREED THAT HAS ALLOWED APPLE TO OPEN UP A CALL CENTER IN BANGALORE TO TAKE JOBS AWAY FROM U.S. CITIZENS TO SAVE APPLE A FEW MEASELY DOLLARS FROM THEIR ‘TO THE MOON’ PROFITS. IT WILL CAUSE CLOSE TO 200 PEOPLE TO BE ON THE SEARCH FOR WORK, WHILE WAITING TO HEAR WHETHER APPLE WILL THROW A FEW HOURS THEIR WAY. ALL THE WHILE, TOSSING MONEY INTO A CALL CENTER IN CANADA, BECAUSE APPLE DOESN’T WANT TO PAY TAXES THAT WOULD ENSUE FROM THIS, THE CANADIAN CENTER WILL NOT HANDLE SOME ISSUES THAT APPLE NEEDS ADDRESSED BY THE BANGALORE, INDIA SITE.

MEANWHILE, APPLE CONTRIBUTES TO THE DECLINE OF THE US ECONOMY AND SPIRIT OF AMERICAN WORKERS BY CAVALIERLY MARCHING ALONG THE PATH TO OBCENE WEALTH “ TREADING OVER THE VERY PEOPLE THAT HAVE HELPED THEIR SALES AND CUSTOMER SERVICE BE SO SPECTACULAR.

WHERE IS OUR COURAGE TO CHANGE? WHERE IS OUR FIGHT? WHAT MADE THE U.S. ONE OF THE COUNTRIES THAT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE FLOCKED TO…SEND US YOUR POOR, YOUR DOWNTRODDEN… IS BEING DESTROYED BY THE RICH WHO ONLY CARE ABOUT GETTING RICHER.

Even in these economically challenging times, we are incredibly pleased to report our best quarterly revenue and earnings in Apple history–surpassing $10 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time ever, said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO.

STEVE MIGHT BE PLEASED, BUT TELL THAT TO AGENTS IN ADDISON WHO GOT SERVED EVICTION NOTICES AND HAVE LOST THEIR INADEQUATE AND INCONSISTENT INCOME WHILE APPLE CONTINUES TO HORDE IT’S PROFITS. FOR WHAT? BECAUSE IF THESE CORPORATE BLOODSUCKING GIANTS CONTINUE ON THEIR MERCILESS QUEST FOR THE ALMIGHTY BEST QUARTERLY REVENUE REPORTS, THEY WILL FIND THEMSELVES ONE DAY OUT PROFITING THEMSELVES BECAUSE THE VERY PEOPLE WHO BUY THEIR PRODUCTS AND SHOP THE ITUNES STORE WON’T BE ABLE TO SPEND 1.39 FOR A SONG, MUCH LESS $400 FOR A PHONE.

STOP THIS BLOODBATH. STOP THIS ABOMINATION. SAY NO TO CORPORATE GREED AND THE RUINATION OF MIDDLE AND LOWER CLASS WORKERS. DON’T LET APPLE GET AWAY WITH THIS.

Let me give you a little more information: many, many Apple agents are employees of temporary agencies, working in call centers that are full of nothing but temp workers. They are required to take 3-4 chats at a time. When you answer one of the surveys after a chat, email, or phone call, anything less than 4, out of a scale from 1-5, can get the agent fired. If you state that you hate Apple policy and give a “Meets Expectations” or lower on any section of the survey, it is counted against the employee. Apple does not care if you place in the notes that you loved the agent but are unhappy with Apple’s policies. They are so concerned with their JD Powers standing that they don’t give a crap about all the temporary workers they have through Volt and Kelly Services, and other agencies!

kuzya, the official iTunes feedback page is here:

A bit of googling lead me to believe that sjobs@apple com is a valid Steve Jobs email address. All I know for sure is that an email to that address did not bounce.

“Due to tax laws and commerce restrictions for software in Canada, customers residing in Canada may only purchase games and applications using a credit card.”

Tony Clement is currently an Minster of Parliament (MP) at the federal level and he was formerly a Minister of Provincial Parliament (MPP)

Jim: past tense of ‘lie’ is ‘lay’. “… assumed the fauld lay with my research abilities.

Good story. I plan to follow it.
