iTunes Hits 100 Million

[CyberB0b]

comparing www.apple.com/itunes/100million and http://ym.muda.org/kurt/apple/hist.php (which is in eastern time) - shows that the data on apple's page is 3 hours earlier, which makes it california time. not surprising. but the only thing wrong is, how could the 100 millionth song be bought at 20:22 which is 11:22 PM EDT?? (it's 4:57 PM EDT right now). also, according to apple's page, the Metric song was dl'ed 8:23 PM EDT and i remember downloading the free single in the afternoon. strange.

oh well.

The big winner is listed as 22:21 PDT (Did they change it?) which is 1:21 AM EDT, matching the trackers.

Also, anyone else notice the "FREE SONG OF THE WEEK" winner at 97,700,000 has been removed from the winners list?!?! Sucks to be him.

That's so cool. His own call from Steve. I wonder what they said?

From Newsweek:

At around 10:15, 20-year-old Kevin Britten of Hays, Kans., bought a song by the electronica band Zero 7, and Jobs himself got on the phone to tell him that he'd won. Then Jobs asked a potentially embarrassing question: "Do you have a Mac or PC?"

"I have a Macintosh... duh!" said Britten.

The new iPod...

The question was asked earlier in this thread if the winners would get the new iPod; originally it was thought they would not be since the photo of Kevin's iPod appeared to be the 3G model. Being number 97,600,000, I can now confirm that we will be receiving the newer model (hurrah!).
