Apple Promises Mother Lode to Billionth App Downloader

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the awww-twenty-dollars-i-wanted-a-peanut dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Apple has posted a counter of App Store downloads as they approach one billion downloads. The lucky billionth downloader gets to walk away with a stash consisting of a MacBook Pro, 32GB iPod Touch, Time Capsule and $10,000 iTunes gift certificate. The App Store now has over 30,000 applications."

    Au contraire, mon frere -- motherload is correct.

    The billionth app downloader will have his mother impregnated via divine insemination by Steve Jobs himself.

    Henceforth this will be known as the iMac-culate Conception, and the offspring of the Holy iSpirit will be brought up as leader of the iFaithful to inherit the reins of Apple.

    Still, I can just see some dude downloading an app, and up pops the flashing banner: "You're the billionth downloader! Click here to claim your prizes!"

    Poor guy would just snicker in amusement, as this ain't his first picnic...
