OK, the image title is a bit dramatic, but do have a look at these two dialog boxes: they appear when you're following an iTunes URL and the track the URL points to is not available from the iTunes Store you have currently selected.
If this happens while the US store is selected, you see a dialog box that offers easy access to the next logical step, namely change to a different (international) store that offers the item in question.
If, however, you're currently using the German store, you're stuck: the error text simply says "The item you've requested is not currently available from the German store." No mention that the item is available on another iTunes Store (it was in this specific case!).
I'm not sure whether this dialog box is built right into iTunes or is triggered from the server-side software powering the iTunes Store. Anyway, it would be nice if you would get the same automated "customer service" regardless of which national iTunes Store you're using.
Guideline: when you localize software, make sure all versions are in-sync feature-wise up to a rather detailed level.
Recently Nintendo released one of my all-time favorite SNES titles, ActRaiser, on Wii’s Virtual Console. While replaying it and reliving childhood memories I noticed that the North American localization is riddled with typos and grammatical mistakes that I was apparently too stupid to notice in 1993. I snapped one that I particularly liked to give me a chance to build Myles’ “grammar police” tag.

Makes a good case for local economies being a better economic multiplier than corporate, big box stores and federal pork projects.

For the last two weeks, this system has worn me out. It was decent weather until today and then the sky's began to dump the white stuff. While up here today I have watched almost two feet fall on us.
Originally there where fourteen antenna's on the platform, but terrian, need for a wide signal and system design caused us to rethink the whole thing and delete eigth antennas. Now the signal is correct and the big platform will have a little extra space. This platform sits on the peaks over looking Aspen Colorado, about 4000 feet below.

Orange localized artificial light on the monument, highlighting the plaque. Horizon light can be seen on the right.
Here's what the sign at the monument says: "Completed in 1882 at a cost of $65,000, this monolithic, 60-foot high granite pyramid was built by the Union Pacific Railroad Company. It stand on the highest elevation (8,247 feet) of the original transcontinental route. Until 1901, when the railroad was relocated several miles to the South, it passed close by the North side of the monument where once stood the railtown of Sherman.
"The monument serves as a memorial to the Ames brothers of Massachusetts, Oakes (1804-1873) And Oliver (1807-1877), whose welath, influence, talent, were key factors in the construction of the first coast-to-coast railroad in North America. The contribution made by Oakes was especially significant, even though in 1873 he was implicated in a scandal relative to financing the construction of the railroad.
"Ames monument was designed by the distinguished American architect Henry Hobson Richardson (1838-1886). Located further West than any of his works, this memorial typifies the Richardsonian style by its energtic, elemental characteristics. His love for native construction materials is demonstrated by the monument's great, rough-hewn granite blocks, quarried from 'Reed's Rock,' one half-mile West. A Richardson biographer has called the monument 'perhaps the finest memorial in America... one of Richardson's best-known and most perfect works.' The bas-relief medallions of the Ames brothers were done by the prominent American sculptor, Augustus Saint-Gaudens."
The sign conveniently glosses over the scandal that plagued the Ames brothers, and does not mention the fact that, once the railroad was moved, the monument has been all but forgotten. It was donated to The State of Wyoming by Union Pacific in 1983. It's a short two-mile drive from Interstate 80, but is not widely known or visited.
