Here I was, being a good iTunes user and buying episodes of Heroes as I had time to watch them. Now, halfway through the season I went to download the next episode and received instead an error message. Heroes is no longer available in the US store. What's up with that? No warning nothing.

Normally I have been pretty happy with Apple customer service but if they could have at least sent an email to those who have purchased some of the season I would have been happy to purchase the rest before the deadline. Now I am halfway through the season and can't find where to get the rest of it to watch on a Mac.

So far I have not been too impressed with the quality of MacOSX Leopard's iChat Theater. Whenever I have an iChat to another Mac on the local network (that is not running Leopard) the quality of the photos or shared files is extremely low. The only hint I could find was to increase the Quicktime streaming setting on both sides of the iChat connection but that has not improved anything.

The only other suggestion I have come across so far is that it works fine when it is a Leopard on both sides of the iChat. Hmm. Apple had promoted it as being usable with the Tiger MacOSX version for example but they meant to say "barely usable".
