Lucky download
Alex Ostrovsky is one lucky teen.
Sometime on Tuesday night, the 16-year-old West Bloomfield native downloaded the one billionth song for sale on iTunes, the successful music-download service created by Steve Jobs et al. Ostrovsky didn’t know it at the time, but he was about to find out that his 99 cents would include a lot more than Coldplay’s Speed of Sound.
The teen received national media attention and a host of prizes — a 20 inch iMac, ten 60GB i-pods and a $10,000 iTunes gift card.
Apple also plans to establish a scholarship in Ostrovsky’s name at the Juillard School of Music in New York.
He downloaded Coldplay… i find hilarious, especially for his age.
I find it hilarious that people think it fine to critisize other’s musical tastes. How sad.
