Easter mEgg Hunt: Spot the eggs

Written by Tim on Wednesday, March 12th, 2008 in MAC, Technology, The Internet.

Today marks the start of the first ever “Easter mEgg Hunt”: Seasonal fun and discounts for Mac users. Select Mac indie developers have joined forced to offer Mac users some seasonal fun as well as the opportunity to earn discounts on quality Mac software.

Participating sites will show a banner: Spot the Eggs, get Mac Software, 20% off. This takes visitors to the “Easter mEgg Hunt” homepage. From there they start the hunt for eggs on other participating sites. Eggs are small images which link back to the “Easter mEgg Hunt” site where their contents is revealed.

Each egg contains a coupon code valid for a 20% discount at 3 participating stores. The same coupon is hidden in 3 eggs placed on 3 different sites. (more…)

HungryFlix, the Internet’s first distributor of premium, independent video content specifically formatted for portable devices, is continuing to drive innovation in the movie download space by announcing that content providers can now upload movies of up to 1GB in size. This increased storage capacity will allow for high quality movies to be delivered to Macs, PCs and especially, Apple TV.

HungryFlix was the pioneer in providing indie films for portable media players such as the Apple iPod, iPhone and Sony PSP.

500 million Firefox downloads

Firefox has reached a half a billion in downloads!!

In honor of the 500 million download mark the Mozilla Foundation is celebrating by raising 500,000,000 grains of rice in one day to help feed the world’s poor. Since we have reached the milestone, it is time to flock to freerice.com and attempt to push the days total over 1/2 billion.

This is just a foreshadow to where one day Firefox will be. Food for thought, uh, better yet, Food for Lives; if they reach 500 million grains of rice, that’s a direct contribution in feeding 25,000 people for one day! Donate now, http://freerice.com
