Alright, if your name is hspringsteen, you don’t have anything to worry about. All of those gifts that you still haven’t bought? They’re going to be coming your way. We can’t cover all 21 of your nieces and nephews, but this should help a bit. Now are you going to wait until the last minute next year? Lets hope not.
In all seriousness, congratulations to him, and thanks to everyone else that entered. And remember, if you’re still wanting to get in on some free goodies, we are still giving away a Tokyoflash Kisai Sensai Pure Watch. The contest is running through Christmas, so at the very least you can get yourself a late gift.
Alright guys, you’ve got a big problem, don’t you? It’s less than four days until Christmas, and you’ve not finished your shopping, have you? Wait, you haven’t even started?! Alright, let me think for a minute, surely we can come up with something.
Okay, I’ve done a bit of work between that last paragraph and this one. I’ve rounded up a whole bunch of stuff that your friends and family are going to love. There’s over $1,000 worth of gadgets and whatnots in this bundle. Santa himself couldn’t fetch a better bag of goodies. Don’t believe me? Just take a gander at the list below.
So we’ve got the gifts, now I’ve just got to figure out where they’re going. All you need to do is drop a comment below and tell us why you’re in a bind, and how you’re going to use these gifts. The contest is running until 8am EST tomorrow (Dec. 22). At that time a winner will be selected. This next part is very important, so listen up.
We’ll contact you shortly after 8am EST tomorrow to let you know that you’re the winner. In order to get the prizes to you on time, we have to have your shipping information by no later than noon EST tomorrow. Also, bear in mind that due to shipping times, the contest is only open to those located in the continental US. Good luck!
SO everyone by now should all be aware of the totally amazing contest we’ve been running where we and Google are giving away a total of FIVE brand new Cr-48 Notebooks – you know the ones, running Google Chrome OS, not available anywhere else except by limited testing release by Google, those ones. Well check it out – we’ve got ALL of the winners on our hands! Take a peek below to see if it’s you! If it isn’t you, still get super pumped up because the Google Cr-48 Pilot Program is still active! Now get to clicking!
First there was Tom Yu!
then there was Anthony Domanico!
directly after that there was A.Plotko!
several hours later there was Tiffany Craun!

We’d like to thank everyone on behalf of SlashGear, our friends at Android Community, and our friends at Google! We hope you had a rock and roll electronic good time entering the contest, finding us on Facebook, pumping up the links up on Twitter, all that fun stuff, and hope that you’ll stick around while we wind up the cranks and get the cannons ready for the next folly, because we’ve got more giveaways around the bend!
If you’ll remember back a while we reviewed Lenovo’s ThinkCentre M90z, then we had a giveaway, one where entrants were asked to suggest excellent non-profit groups that might benefit from a pack of 5 ThinkCentre M90zs (three sets of which will end up going to non-profits at a later date.) From the entries we received, we’ve chosen (at random) one big winner to receive an M90z of their own! Take a peek below to see if it’s you!
Entries were accepted until midnight PST on December 13th, 2010, and now we’ve got our winner. Are you excited?
AMY BREWER! COME ON DOWN!
Amy Brewer ended up suggesting St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. If you take a look back at the original contest post you’ll see that this hospital was suggested more than a couple times, that perhaps maybe giving it a better chance at getting one of the packages of 5 ThinkCentres. All of the other non-profit organizations are going to Lenovo where they’ll be thought over and decided on, the top groups to be chosen at the beginning of 2011.
If you’ve not won here (aka everyone but Amy,) feel free to take a look at this list of other sites where you’ll be able to enter again! Win win win! Then take a look again at the full rules below that. Seeya next contest [oh wait, we've got another one going on right now, win a Google Chrome OS Cr-90 laptop on Android Community or on SlashGear]

Everyone in the USA! Remember that we’re running an amazing contest where you will be able to win a Google Cr-48 notebook running none other than Google Chrome OS, a super combo only otherwise available in the middle of next year (or through Google’s pilot program, of course, but you want one for your own!) We’ve got a total of five notebooks to give away, three here on SlashGear, two more over at Android Community. The first drawing will be TOMORROW, December 16 at midnight PST!
Get entering as fast as you can!
To enter this contest, you’ve only to do a couple things: first, sign up as a fan of our SlashGear Facebook page, then two, share the link to this competition on your Facebook wall with a post saying why you’d like to have a Cr-48 notebook for your very own.
We’ll draw the first SlashGear winner at random on Thursday December 16 2010 at midnight PST, the second on Friday December 17 at midnight PST, and the third on Sunday December 19 at midnight PST.

Notebooks running Google Chrome OS aren’t expected to hit the market until mid-2011, so until now the only way to get your hands on a Google laptop is to sign up to the search giant’s pilot program and hope you get picked to try out one of the 12.1-inch ultraportables. Now, though, there’s another way: Google has given us five Cr-48 notebooks to give away, three for SlashGear readers and two over at our sibling site Android Community.
To take part, all you have to do is sign up as a fan of the SlashGear Facebook page, and share the link to this competition on your Facebook wall with a post saying why you want a Cr-48 notebook. Remember, Google is pushing their cloud apps in a big way with Chrome OS, and the Cr-48 is all about cutting ties and going mobile.
We’ll draw the first SlashGear winner at random on Thursday December 16 2010 at midnight PST, the second on Friday December 17 at midnight PST, and the third on Sunday December 19 at midnight PST. Unfortunately, due to the terms of Google’s pilot scheme, only US entrants can be accepted. Good luck!

Earlier this year we reviewed Lenovo’s ThinkCentre M90z touchscreen all-in-one PC; now we’re giving you the chance to win one of your own. The 23-inch Full HD desktop supports all of Windows 7′s native multitouch support and would be equally comfortable as a browsing, media or home-office machine; check out how you can win the M90z after the cut, as well as helping a non-profits to win a bumper crop of five M90z’s apiece!
Lenovo has asked for our help – and for the help of the SlashGear readers – to identify non-profit agencies in the US and Canada whom we believe could make good use of the M90z’s abilities. The company has put together three M90z packages, each consisting of five of the ThinkCentres, and are looking for suggestions as to what organization would be worthwhile.
Taking part is very simple: all you need to do is leave a comment on this post telling us which non-profit you think worthy of an M90z package. By making a suggestion, you’ll be entered into the SlashGear giveaway to win a ThinkCentre M90z of your own.
Now, the non-profit should be a worthy medical or educational institution, such as a clinic, hospital, school, community center, adult education facility, or similar, and – like entrants in the giveaway itself – it has to be located in the US or Canada.
Entries will be accepted up until midnight pacific time on December 13 2010, at which point we’ll pick one winner at random to take home an M90z, and put forward your best suggestions as to non-profit groups to Lenovo, where they’ll be considered alongside the ideas from the other sites taking part (there’s a list of them below).
Make sure to read all the rules below, and good luck!

In the best case scenario, when a giveaway happens, we would love more than anything to be able to pick a winner fairly and easily, but when we have the amount of participation we did for something like the Pad&Quill case for the iPad, it’s hard. And, it takes time. Luckily though, we were able to find one lucky winner that managed to follow the rules, and catch our attention with their review for the SlashGear app for iOS. That winner? Well, he just so happens to go by the name of ImperfectLink.
ImperfectLink will be taking home the grand prize: one Pad&Quil iPad case. The case is what some would call high-end, and it happens to be one of our favorites for Apple’s tablet device. So, ImperfectLink stay tuned for instructions from us on how to get your special prize, and we certainly hope you enjoy it. And stay tuned for more SlashGear giveaways, as we’ll have plenty more in the future. And, you never know — you could be the next winner!
