"Apple, which was watching for the one billionth download, will give Alex Ostrovsky, the lucky downloader, a 20-inch iMac computer, 10 iPods and a $10,000 gift certificate to iTunes."

lucky bastard

 

[french_fry]

wow that's soooooo lucky.

 

[soulskier]

damn him

 

[freezed]

hahahahah 10 iPods??? That is so awesome for that guy.

 

[acoustikrage]

does anyone have any idea how much music you can buy with $10000?...shoooot.

 

[MRGskiier]

Holy shit.

 

[skodeo7]

10,000 songs id have to fathom. Haha, not as many as you can download for free though.

 

[skisf4x4]

it would suck to pay taxes on all that... income tax is a bitch. depending on his tax bracket, whoever won probably owes somewhere between 3,000 and 4,500 dollars in income tax. (figure that 15k worth of shit).

that sucks.

 

[D-40]

you have to pay taxes on gift certificates?

 

[tahoeskier170]

^ no u dont. that guys so lucky. he spends 1 dollar and gains about 15,000. he is so fuckin lucky

 

[Lukey_1080]

what the heck dont you think thats kinda random?

 

[acoustikrage]

well now i feel stupid. but still, 10k songs, that's more music than you'll ever need in a lifetime.

 

[skisf4x4]

no. you have to pay taxes on income of any kind. if you win a prize, you are taxed on the value of the income... at least in the US thats how it works.

 

[shrEddie]

[shrEddie]
