iTunes contest ticker...

Okay folks, there's still time to enter the iTunes 100 Million Song contest. You can enter by downloading a song and using your hard earned cash, or you can enter for free like we showed ya'
(check our how-to). Also get a ticker on your Mac OS
X system to keep you updated on the number of total downloads so you can swoop in ebay sniper style at the end.

100MilCount, displays the total number of songs downloaded in the status bar, and our favorite, a
Konfabulator widget tracks the iTMS countdown to 100 million by polling Apple's site every 5 minutes. Color changes based on the count modulo 100,000 : >0 blue,
>50,000 green, >75,000 orange, >87,500 yellow, >93,750 red.

Update: One of our readers was trying to estimate when Apple will hit 100 million. Here's some quick math. About every 5 minutes the iTunes download count goes up on average of around 2,200— that's 440 per minute.
If there are about 2,361,479 songs left to go (at the time of this update) that means there are about 5,367 minutes left to go, or 89 hours, which is almost 4 days from now. We think the contest will likely end this Friday/Saturday as it starts to all heat up. If anyone has a better estimate, post it up in the comments.
