fdiv_bug writes "Turns out, according to a press release, that the iTunes Music Store/McDonald's deal mentioned earlier today was only a rumor. A swing and a miss for the New York Post."

If Slashdot is going to start posting erroneous stories from tabloids such as the New York Post [nypost.com], they should instead post stories from the Weekly World News. I don't believe what a newspaper says unless it has BatBoy endorsing it!

No kidding. If McDonalds really wanted a promotion to get slashdotters, they should offer trading cards of anime girls and a wad of kleenex with every happy meal.

I would take 40 gigs of songs (hmm, good ones, so really, around 15 megs), yes, but not with 40 pounds of grease.
And in other news, man won $1 bill worth of songs stuck inside a local McDonalds.
