I have an ipod. It should have been me! Man how lucky!
| It may well have been the best 99 cents Alex Ostrovsky ever spent. Early yesterday, he paid that amount to download ''Speed of Sound,'' a song on the Coldplay album ''X&Y,'' from the iTunes Music Store, the Internet music shop that Apple Computer started less than three years ago. |

| He did not know it, but it was the billionth song the site had sold, and Apple was not about to let that go unnoticed. So at 12:45 a.m., Mr. Ostrovsky's phone rang. It was an Apple employee, telling him that in addition to the song, Apple was giving him a 20-inch iMac, 10 iPods and a $10,000 gift card for the iTunes store. It is even establishing a scholarship at the Juilliard School in his name. |
