It seems that if you set your clock forward to Friday the 24th, Apple’s homepage shows that the billionth app has been sold! Huzzah! Of course, that implies that Apple is pulling one over on us and will declare the billionth app sold whenever it feels the time is right. Hmm, how about Friday, guys?

I just tried and it works. Not sure why I did that. I like BBG’s assessment of the source deciding to watermark the image, when they’ve just told you how to acquire it. Accordingly, I’ve watermarked our image too. Can you spot how?
