			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It would have been hard for you to miss the news last week that the App Store was nearing its 10 billionth download. Apple had vowed to give the person who downloaded the 10 billionth app a $10,000 gift card. The lucky downloader of that 10 billionth app was one Gail Davis of Orpington, Kent, UK.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-48025  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/itunes-tb.jpg" alt="itunes tb" width="600" height="413" title="itunes tb photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-48024"></span></p>
<p>Davis answered the phone and when the Apple rep on the line started telling her she had won, she hung up. Davis said, <em>&#8220;I thought it was a prank call. I said, ‘Thank you very much, I’m not interested’ and I hung up.”</em></p>
<p>Apparently, Davis&#8217; kids then came and told her the call wasn&#8217;t a prank. The woman tried to call the Apple Help line and wasn’t able to get assistance. Luckily, for her and the kids an Apple person called back again. Davis said, <em>&#8220;The more I thought about it, the more I realized it was a genuine call. The girls were getting quite tense. They never would have forgiven me. They would have held it against me for all eternity.”</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you haven&#8217;t already gotten your turkey for tonight&#8217;s Thanksgiving festivities, it&#8217;s probably too late for you. Unless, of course, you plan on catching your own bird.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5548 aligncenter" title="electronic_turkey_call" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/electronic_turkey_call.jpg" alt="electronic turkey call" width="520" height="502" /></p>
<p>This <a href="http://www.sportsauthority.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3040421">Cass Creek electronic turkey call</a> is sure to attract the elusive birds as it cranks out digitized samples of real turkeys. The loudspeaker can produce a variety of authentic bird sounds including clucks, yelps, &#8220;kee-kees&#8221;, an assembly call, and even a purr. Who knew that turkeys purred? Sounds like you might end up attracting a few neighborhood alley cats if you press that button too often.</p>
<p>While it&#8217;s designed for hunting turkeys, I think it might be just as fun to walk around the your neighborhood grocery store with one of these, occasionally mashing on the buttons as customers grab up their frozen Butterballs and canned yams. (I think I know what I&#8217;m doing next Thanksgiving.)</p>
