Apple just sold its 1,000th song on iTunes?

File this one under humor, guys...

I love it when obscure news sources try reporting on Apple, and go way off the mark
Here's the latest: Apple Showers 1000th Download with Generous Gifts

My favorite? It seems Alex Ostrovsky will receive a 1069 GB iPod. Never heard of them. Maybe they're coming on Tuesday.

And don't forget, he also received a scholarship from Juilliard.

Why in the world would they post facts that are so rididulously OFF?

Things that make you go hmmm.

Great prize. Imagine what the billionth download will win!

wow. i can understand the 1,000 instead of 1,000,000,000. ok, not really. but where do you come up with a 1069 GB iPod. If he means 10 69 GB iPods, there isn't one. But a tarabite of info on an ipod, how many songs is that?

 

[tangerineyum]

its from Istanbul, but still fact checking is a must.

And we fear these (Islamofascist) people? No wonder they can only score a successful attack once every 5 years or so.

 

[dornoforpyros]

how you managed to screw up 2 paragraphs that much when chances are they were getting their facts from an apple press release is beyond me.

Haha. The part that made me laugh was the part that said "He will receive a educational scholarship at the Juilliard Music Academy in New York." Why would you receive a scholarship for downloading music. Hah. Hmm.
