Phillip Torrone of Make magazine and Adafruit Laser Services, a laser-etching etching service for iPods and MacBooks, has kindly offered to etch OxyContin pills for free onto any Rush Limbaugh iPod. If you recall, Limbaugh is offering eight free iPods engraved with his signature as an incentive for his email newsletter (see here).
Phil writes: "If any of your readers wins one, I'll etch pills all over it for free with my laser. We can then auction it off and give the $ to a group Rush hates."

lkahney - 100 Million iPods and the Explosive Growth of iTunes

Apple on Monday triumphantly announced it has sold 100 million iPods in five years with a big splashy ad in the New York Times and across the front page of its website. Apple claims the iPod is the "fastest selling music player in history." That may be so, but it's not yet the biggest seller: Sony sold 340 million Walkmans (and others sold countless millions of knockoffs).But Apple watchers are actually more interested in the growth of iTunes. Carl Howe at Blackfriars Marketing notes that iTunes has now sold 2.5 billion songs -- 1 billion more songs than 6 months ago. These numbers are only semi-official (Jobs mentioned them casually in an interview), but if Apple is now selling 1 billion songs every six months, that's a very sharp growth curve.
Also, Howe points out that Apple is also beginning to dominate online sales of movies and TV shows. Wal-Mart revealed on Monday that its online movie store sold just 3,000 movies in the first month. By contrast, Apple sold 125,000 movies in the first week.
"Once you've bested the largest American retailer, the sky is the limit," Howe writes.
lkahney - UPDATE: Cult of Mac Blog Has NOT Moved
UPDATE: Whoops. We jumped the gun. The Cult of Mac blog was supposed to become part of a new Wired affiliate blog network, which will bring together blogs run by Wired's editors, contributors and friends, like Chris Anderson's Long Tail...UPDATE: Whoops. We jumped the gun. The Cult of Mac blog was supposed to become part of a new Wired affiliate blog network, which will bring together blogs run by Wired's editors, contributors and friends, like Chris Anderson's Long Tail blog. It'll be Wired's version of John Battelle's Federated Media network. Trouble is, our network isn't quite in place. So for the time being, the Cult of Mac blog will continue to be updated at this address. Apologies for the confusion.
The Cult of Mac blog is moving to a new address. The blog can now be found at www.cultofmac.com.
Here is the new RSS feed.
