Says Apple: "As of today, nearly 25 billion apps have been downloaded from the App Store worldwide. Which is almost as amazing as the apps themselves. So we want to say thanks. Download the 25 billionth app, and you could win a US $10,000 iTunes Gift Card. Just visit the App Store, and download what could be your best app yet."

"I'll take the $1000 cash for $20K Pat..."

I'm not a bit happy about anything Apple, but I'm not going to begrudge them this. What debate hasn't already raged on with regard to an app being written on/off jailbroken systems & then boosted by said corporation?

This is simply a mile marker; to which I say, "An omelet will have been made, and my... the number of eggs that it took to make it."
