: the big 25 billion app store mark groovetube Feb 26th, 2012, 05:21 PM Just noticed on the apple site the countdown to the 25 billion mark is going to happen soon. Hard to tell when it'll happen, but maybe I'll buy the couple apps I'm thinking of then, if possible... The Doug Feb 26th, 2012, 05:29 PM Nah, don't bother. A teenager in Mississippi is going to win. fjnmusic Feb 26th, 2012, 05:51 PM I'm predicting a middle-aged guy in Sherwood Park. Who couldn't use a $25,000 App Store gift card? ;) G-Mo Feb 26th, 2012, 10:33 PM I'm predicting a middle-aged guy in Sherwood Park. Who couldn't use a $25,000 App Store gift card? ;) Unfortunately, he'll be ripped off, as it's only a $10,000 gift card they are giving away. fjnmusic Feb 27th, 2012, 12:13 AM Unfortunately, he'll be ripped off, as it's only a $10,000 gift card they are giving away. Wait a minute. It was a $10,000 gift card for the 10 billionth customer. Shouldn't they up the ante for the 25 billionth one? Glipt Feb 27th, 2012, 08:28 AM As nobody in the US has jobs right now, whoever wins will not be able to afford the tax on it and will have to not collect their prize. Voyager Feb 27th, 2012, 07:37 PM And everyone in nine provinces and three territories are eligible to participate. Three guesses which province is "different"? Hint: First two letters are QU... So even if I download the 25, 000,000,000th app I can't collect the prize. :mad: groovetube Feb 27th, 2012, 08:29 PM What is it with Quebec, it seems like it's always not eligible for a lot of contests. The Doug Feb 27th, 2012, 08:30 PM All contests have to be vetted or approved by the gov't and run by Loto Quebec or something. Voyager Feb 27th, 2012, 10:11 PM All contests have to be vetted or approved by the gov't and run by Loto Quebec or something. That pretty much sums it up. I guess it's too much of a hassle for a lot of companies to have to get permission from more than one agency or group. fjnmusic Feb 28th, 2012, 01:35 AM What is it with Quebec, it seems like it's always not eligible for a lot of contests. It's the price paid for being a distinct society. Ravindra Mohabeer Mar 3rd, 2012, 10:26 PM Who won. Was it you? It wasn't me :( Voyager Mar 6th, 2012, 11:07 AM It wasn't me either!:( But there was a winner. You’ll never guess which app got Apple to its 25 billionth iTunes download (http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/youll-never-guess-which-app-got-apple-to-its-25-billionth-itunes-download/) Lawrence Mar 7th, 2012, 03:25 PM It wasn't me either!:( But there was a winner.
