200 million song sold

Monday, December 20th, 2004

I read reading the paper this weekend and came across the Apple press release announcing the 200 millionth song sold through the iTunes store. It ended up being some U2 song from the middle of their greatest hits. I also read that the guy ended up getting some free song credits and an iPod mini. I was imagining the hypothertical dilemma of being the person who bought the 200 millionth song, but that the song was your secret shame song. Something like “Against All Odds” or “Private Dancer”. Do I want to get the free iPod and gift cert and let the world know the secrets of my music collection or keep quiet? U2 is a pretty safe choice.

where this is a will, there is a way
i just had to click through the 400+ comment spams for casinos that appeared in my moderation queue.
grr. saw some ui improvments that could be made for wordpress, maybe they are there already in the newest release.
clicking “delete” for 400 items was a waste of time. They should borrow the ui element from webmail applications and have the global check all checkbox for save/delete/donothing.
