iTunes

As if physical and technological restrictions on your iPod isn't enough, there isn't an iTunes store in Singapore.
It pissed me off first, I'm desperate desperate to purchase some music.
But now, I know that when the iTunes store for Singapore launches, I know I won't give a shit. Why? Because the very reason why people love iTunes is for the wide variety of music that delves also into the indie labels. But the fact that iTunes have different stores as per geography is not simply due to currency but also the artiste/label's geographical restrictions due to certain copyrights.
Hell, that just means I'm not going to access much of my much loved obscures even with iTunes Music Store Singapore opening. The music they provide will just have very very slightly wider variety than you can find in music stores anyway. There's no where else to buy non-mainstream music other than to download them.
