As a big “thank you”, Apple rewarded the very lucky 13-year-old Connor Mulcahey of Weston, CT, for being the downloader of the billionth app, which is Bump, from Bump Technologies, Connor gets a US$ 10,000 iTunes gift card, an iPod Touch, a Time Capsule, and a Macbook Pro. Damn, that’s more stuff than a 13-year-old could use! Congrats to you dude!
