Things you Need: Apple iTunes Store

Posted on: Wednesday, May 13th, 2009 in: Expat, Geekery

As part of a running series, I’ll talk about some things that we pretty much couldn’t live with during our stay here in Australia. I would say that the first in this list is my Kindle — it lets me get my U.S. periodicals here down under and it lets me buy books that [...]
