The case of the missing shows in the iTunes Store

If you think that Mac geeks are a a vocal group, you haven't met any SciFi geeks (a group of which I easily fall into). This Friday was the highly anticipated season premiere of Battlestar Galactica's 3rd season. As you know, BSG is available on the iTunes Store, however, 3 days after the premier there is no sign of the 3rd season opener on iTunes.

This isn't the first we have heard of major lag time between a show airing on TV and then becoming available on the iTunes Store. Apple, if you want people to buy these shows you really need to post them in a timely fashion (a few hours after the show is on TV would be great, immediately after the airing would be even better though harder to do thanks to time zones).

Anyone else noticing that their favorite shows are taking awhile to become available for download?

Oh, and the BSG episode in question was awesome.

Thanks, Quix.

Get a free episode of Battlestar Galactica in iTunes

Much like Sports Illustrated did with this year's Swimsuit Issue, TV Guide is offering a free episode of Battlestar Galactica via iTunes. To get your copy, simply buy the March 6th edition of TV Guide (it should be out now) and enter the unique code you find inside. This will allow you to get the episode "Downloaded," which was a fantastic episode, I must say (plus it guest stars Lucy Lawless).

Widget Watch: Battlestar Galactica

Can you feel the anticipation? Season 2 of Battlestar Galactica finally resumes tonight on the SciFi network. You can count down the very seconds until airtime with the Galacticaa Widget (yes, the second "a" is supposed to be there). Also, get images, the name of the upcoming episode, its status as a repeat or a new episode and a brief synopsis of what's next for the members of the fleet.

If you're a fan, I suggest you download the frakking thing.

Tip of the Day

Want to drag a file to another folder and copy it instead of moving it? Press the Option key when you drag that file and it'll be duplicated rather than moved entirely.
