Apple\'s iTunes music store hit its 25 billionth download - equal to selling more than three songs for every person on Earth - and on Wednesday gave the German student who bought the track a gift card worth 10,000 euro. Economics student Phillip Luepke, 22, of Hanover, Germany, downloaded the techno song Monkey Drums (Goksel Vancin Remix) by British DJ Chase Buch, hitting the number a decade after the online music store debuted. I was very surprised to hear the news, Luepke told Reuters by phone from his home in Germany. I woke up this morning and had an email from Apple saying I had the 25 billionth download, he said. In fact, I didn\'t quite believe it at first. It\'s a new feeling for me.
Apple is working on a new system that could iTunes into a potential crowd-sourced ATM. According the patent which was filed in 2011, and can be viewed here, the system works on location based requests issued by users who don\'t have access to an ATM. The patent reads, An ad-hoc cash-dispensing network that allows users to efficiently exchange cash is provided. The ad-hoc cash-dispensing network includes a cash-dispensing server, a network, and a plurality of client terminals that connect to the cash-dispending server through the network. The user of a client terminal sends a request for cash to the cash-dispensing server. The request for cash includes the location of the client terminal. Based on this location, the cash-dispensing server locates one or more other users that are close/proximate to the requesting user and verifies that at least one of these proximate users is willing and able to provide the requested amount of cash. Following the transfer of cash between the parties, the requesting user\'s account is charged for the service while the providing user\'s account is credited
A Daily Mail report that actor Bruce Willis was considering legal action against Apple after he discovered he is not allowed to leave his huge iTunes music collection to his daughters has been debunked by his wife, Emma Hemming on Twitter. Here\'s her tweet. https://twitter.com/EmmaHeming/status/242631258310594562 The Daily Mail report says that, if he succeeds, he could benefit not just himself and his family but the millions who have purchased songs from Apple\'s iTunes Store. According to the story, Willis discovered that like all of us do at one point that , music online is actually licensed to users for an indefinite period. Buying the song on iTunes is not equivalent to owning it. Now while the idea of a lawsuit against Apple does sound appealing to a lot of people, the story is most definitely not true. This has already sparked a meme on 9Gag, highlighting how good it is of Bruce Willis to finally sue Apple after reading their ridiculous \'Terms of agreement\'. (By the way does anyone actually do that?) The Guardian, has a detailed piece on why the story isn\'t true, as nobody bothered to talk to Willis or his agents. You can view that here.
