The IdeaPad Y550 notebook from Lenovo has just been spotted on NewEgg, by yours truly. The IdeaPad Y450 was announced just a couple of days ago, so it's no surprise that this is finally available. The IdeaPad Y550 has: a 15.6-inch display with a WXGA (1,366 x 768) resolution, an Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz T6400 CPU, 4GB of RAM, a 320GB HDD, Intel's GMA 4500MHD graphics, an ExpressCard slot, WiFi, a DVD burner, an integrated 1.3MP webcam, and a 6-in-1 card reader. It also comes with a couple of ports: 3 USB 2.0, VGA, HDMI, and microphone / headphone jacks. The IdeaPad Y550 is also shipping with a 6-cell battery that is supposed to give you 4.5 hours of battery life. The notebook itself weighs 6.06 pounds and costs $899.99 USD off of NewEgg.

Update: As of May 13, the IdeaPad Y550 is now available on the official Lenovo website with a base price of $599 USD. I found this out, thanks to the anonymous comment.

Apple has spotted the person who downloaded the 1 billionth app off of the App Store and it was Connor Mulcahey of Connecticut. He took home a $10,000 USD iTunes gift certificate (that I would sell on eBay because I don't get anything off of the iTunes Store), a MacBook Pro and a Time Capsule. He's only 13-years old, so I'm pretty sure this is something that he'll remember for the rest of his life. Congratulations to him! I hope he spends that $10,000 iTunes gift certificate wisely.
