The topic was about how the Macintosh market for MA3 might improve given current market forces in the United States. The Halo Effect of the iPhone/iPod/ITMS is said to drive Mac sales. That includes ITMS TV downloads. That should be good for MA3 Mac sales, right?

The Blackberry Halo Effect does not shine on Apple or other computer makers as far as I know.

I'll take your word for it that Apple's share of TV downloads outside the U.S. is zero percent. Heck it doesn't even bother me! Don't worry, Tiny Turtle, one day, when Apple clears the legal hurdles, you too will be able to download TV shows! Given the current writer's strike, TV download activity must be hurting though.
Reasons people don't watch Star Trek:
60% - It’s for nerds.
39% - The show’s stupid.
01% - My parents were killed by Klingons and it's still too painful.
