Technology and celebrities - Part 1 (the trivia quiz)

I recently heard that technology and celebrities are two of the top subjects for popular blogs. This made me curious to see what technology a celebrity likes and how the rich and/or famous use these tools.

I've already heard too much about Twitter, (e.g. Miley's last tweet and Ashton's millionth follower) so I excluded it but there were still a few surprises that I'd like to share. Just for fun see if you can match the following statements with the correct celebrity. (Match-ups and full details will be provided in tomorrow's post).

Here are the statements:
  1. developed an iPhone app to sell for $1.99
  2. gained control of 800 Internet domain names
  3. using Skype is one of the greatest things this year
  4. says Blackberry is a marriage-saver
  5. the Amazon Kindle ... an environmentally friendly investment
  6. staged a creative collaboration using Cisco Unified Meeting Place
  7. co-founder of a web design and technology consultancy
Here are the celebrities:
a) Dilbert creator & food company honcho, Scott Adams
b) Comedic Magician-Illusionists, Penn & Teller
c) Singer-songwriter, Rob Thomas
d) Media maven and TV host, Oprah Winfrey
e) National Basketball Association forward, Chris Bosh

If you enjoy trivia games, give this a try and post a comment with your guesses. Hint: More than one celebrity can match some statements (you're smart people so I don't want it to be too easy). If you don't like quizzes, don't worry, you can read the full stories in tomorrow's post.
