Exact numbers. More or less.
Three big numbers, all courtesy of slashdot.
The english wikipedia has hit two million, that much has been established. But the indentity of the two millionth article has not (mediawiki does not number individual articles).
Firefox has hit 400 million downloads. The estimated market share is 17.4%, of the hits to this blog 35.6% (down from the >50% figures on account of masses of image searches via google, it would appear).
Bioshock has hit 1.5 million shipped units. And probably singlehandedly rescued the publisher from the low pressure front generated by the delays of GTA IV (coding issues) and Manhunt 2 (ratings issues).
Also from the site:
Music industry to introduce “ringle”, a CD single with an on-board ringtone.
And a very good exposé on the writing methods of Bioware.
