Apple App Store Hits 10B App Download Mark
alphadogg writes "The Apple App Store hit the 10 billion app download mark overnight on Friday, marking a milestone involving an awful lot of Doodle Jump, Tap Tap Revenge and Angry Birds playing, not to mention Facebook and Pandora usage. The Apple App Store hit the 1 billion mark in April of 2009, after opening in July of 2008. Apple is rewarding the downloader of the 10 billionth free or paid App Store app with a $10,000 iTunes gift card in a bit of showmanship that Willy Wonka would be proud of. As of 7AM EST, however, Apple hadn't publicly identified the winner, only saying that you'd need to come back later to find out who won. Apple put an iOS app countdown ticker on its Website last week to build buzz around the milestone and generated about 250 million app downloads since. It also revealed a list of all-time most downloaded free and paid iPhone and iPad apps." The winner of the $10k is Gail Davis, a British woman whose children installed an app without her knowledge. She actually thought the phone call from Apple was a prank at first. "My daughters told me they had downloaded it and they knew there was a competition and that we may have won it," she told BBC Radio 5 Live.
I put my whose into my who's wholes.
Of course this isn't a popular thought here on Slashdot but hey, who needs karma anyway?
Apparently you do, because your karma whine got the +5, as it usually does on Slashdot.
You guys can all go fuck yourselves. This is my last post on this stupid faggot slashdot website you guys are the worst on all of the internet.
All I wanted to do was give an opinion and then you faggots had to bust out the "u mad" "fuck Apple" bullshit. I didn't get mad but I got pissed because it is hard to talk about good phones with people who grew up on the wrong side of town.
I'm trying not to be a dick but how can I talk to you guys about 10 billion app downloads when you guys think fucking Android is the greatest thing since Moto Razrs and Startacs or whatever it is you guys use.
I honestly don't understand why people in this world have children when they can't afford to give them a proper upbringing. not only did you stupid fucks miss out on a normal life but you are perpetuating your ignorance fucking lifestyle and stupid fucking ideas of what is good. You guys should just keep being happy with Mcdonalds and maybe send in an application because that is the only thing you have going for you. Or do what I mentioned and join the Army because we need more cannon fodder (you may have to look that term up).
In short, fuck you, all of you. I'm leaving this bullshit fucking website because it is full of low class redneck blue collared faggots who probably watch larry the cableguy or whatever. You people make me fucking sick and are what is wrong with this motherfucking country I hate all of you and I hope you all fucking die FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS YOU ARE FUCKING STUPID UGLY WHITE TRASH AND YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THIS
FUck of /. I'm out
