During the first round of the World Cup 2006’s first match between Germany and Costa Rica, I was trying to access the web cast from Yahoo’s FIFA World Cup server.
Unfortunately the server always says “server was busy”. The second round was okay, the web cast was up and running perfectly. Anyone has hint what was happening in the first round?
Recently I wanted to buy songs from MSN Music. Unfortunately after struggling with Windows Media Player (WMP) for about 2 hours, I could not buy a single song…. 
This is what I have done: I launched Windows Media Player (I am using version 11 Beta). Then I searched the songs I want to buy. So far so good… they are offered by MSN Music and cost $0.99 each.
Then I clicked Buy button. MSN Music allows us to login with Microsoft’s Passport account, so I used mine. OK, now come the most interesting part, filing out personal information. For some reasons that I don’t know, WMP detected that my country is United States. I could not change the country to Canada at all. It is not possible to do that (see screenshot below).
I am stuck at this point because I cannot change my country. I have double checked my Passport account and it shows my country is Canada. Why MSN Music then assume my country is United States? How come?
Anyone can help?
