Good luck! Oh, and thanks for reminding me! :dopey:

Btw, I scoured the comments for 10 minutes trying to find mine before I realized that you have to "activate" your comment by replying to an email confirmation. I had previously thought that was a one time activation email, I didn't realize you have to do that every time you comment. Per the rules, don't activate more than one comment!

Yeah, well my dumb ass activated twice, so I'm disqualified. :mutter:

I notice there's a way around having to activate each email, though. You just have to use your email and the password they assign you (at the bottom of the activation email) and you can bypass it. Btw I think there are three more rounds to go - one every six hours - so you can get in tomorrow.

I was a leeeetle bit slow on the draw, but managed to take fourth place (http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/the-hundred-gadget-giveaway-round-5-iuxp/1#c7143231) in the race for first comment this round. :smugnod:

Good one!

I managed to load the page for the first contest when there were zero comments, but by the time I figured out how to activate mine (twice :doh:) I made it to like page 12.

There hasn't been a new contest posted since midnight this morning. Should have been at 6, noon, and 6. Do you think it's over?

They are, however, still giving away "iPhone SIM unlock" whatever the fuck that is. I'm going to go post about it in the iPhone thread.

I jumped in every round for the first 3 or 4 days, but got bored with it.
