>>and thus "deliver the final blow to the newspaper industry".
Language like this generally makes me more skeptical that they'll accomplish this
It is one thing to blog or to aggregate "news", it is another to actually investigate and report the news. I don't know if they realize this, when they talk about delivering the "final blow to the newspaper industry"
>>The first 100 TechCrunch readers to retweet this article and add the hashtag #freeapollo (ha ha, retweet bots!) are getting a promotion code for the app on iTunes.
Their 1.0 version launched today. Apple only gives you 50 promo codes for an app version. I wonder whether they really have some way to hand out 100 promo codes today or whether this is just going to be their first case of over-promising and under-delivering.

Maybe 1.0.1 is already in the pipeline. They didn't say all the codes would go out today.
One can gift apps to a friend. 100 means, stuff is being paid out of the pocket.
