Steps to Take Before Choosing a Business Continuity Partner

Orange is again rewarding its customers with film content after teaming up with iTunes to offer a free movie download every week.

Orange Film

The company's new service Film to Go lets Orange customers grab one free film every Thursday to watch on their PC, laptop or iOS device. As with other rentals over iTunes, content will only be available for 30 days and must be finished within 48 hours of its first play.

During the remainder of August, customers have the chance to see The Wrestler, The Ghost and Che: Part One.

In order to take advantage of the offer, interested customers must request a redeem code through a text message. That'll cost 35p, but it's a hitchhike from there, as long as you have iTunes set up.

Orange has had strong ties to the movie industry for quite some time, offering its customers 2-for-1 cinema tickets every Wednesday. So if the fickle weather prevents a mid-week mashup, stay-at-home Orange customers can still get a film fix. ®

Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup/Recovery

iTunes works on a proper computer?

Except that it doesn't. I use a "proper" computer and itunes crashes, stalls the computer and eats all my ram...

I only use it for the ease of syncing my iPod (which I only own for the ease of connectivity to just about everything in the world).

Money

I won't use iTunes because the last time I tried to install it, to get a FREE newspaper download, Apple wanted my credit card details. I got Linux for nothing though!

@JennyCide Umm, yes. If you read the article the "free"* movie costs 35p.

* When Orange use the word free, for some reason it always seems to cost more than I feel it's worth.
