Apple's 500 Million Songs

Paul H. writes "Apple is giving away an iPod Mini and a 50-song gift card to whomever purchases every 100,000th song on iTunes, until they reach 500 million downloads. The person who downloads the 500 millionth song wins 10 free iPods, a gold 10,000-song gift card, and 10 additional 50-song gift cards for the iPods. To top it off, the winner gets 4 first row Coldplay tickets with back-stage passes."

    All the iPods and iTunes in the world are not enough to make me willing to sit front row for Coldplay. I would be forced to stab out my eardrums out with an ice pick, rendering me unable to make use of the good prizes.

    Just click the goddamn link and read the rules. The winner is defined as the 500 millionth entry (with the counter starting at 480,000,000), with each entry generated by either buying a song or using, FOR FREE, the iTMS "refer a friend" feature to refer a song to itunes500@apple.com.
