TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway Day 13: an iPhone

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Aug 29th, 2007

iphoneLove it or hate it, a free iPhone is hard to resist. Maybe if it hadn't been unlocked, or hacked, or unbricked there would be substantially less interest. Then again, a $600 lump of coal is still 600 Washingtons more than the guy next to you, so there's that. I'm not saying you iPhone haters should toss the thing on ebay the day you get it, but we understand some of you haven't bought into the whole "computers will inevitably get smaller" vibe. It's cool. OS X isn't for everyone either.

At any rate, today's prize is the big Kahuna: an 8 GB iPhone. To enter, leave a comment on this post between 5AM and 11:59PM EST on August 29.

TUAW Back-to-School Day 12: 80 GB iPod

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Aug 28th, 2007

Unless you've been hibernating for the past six years, you've heard of our next prize: an iPod. Not a 1st-gen iPod with a janky mechanical scrollwheel and hidden Breakout game. Not a 2nd-gen iPod with handy FireWire port, or a 3rd-gen iPod with crummy battery. No, this skips the photo (4th-gen) and goes straight to video-- the very thing Steve once claimed people don't want. If you do want a video iPod, continue reading how to enter... To be clear, our prize today is a 5th-gen "video" iPod in the 80GB variety (you choose black or white).

TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway Day 11: TUAW t-shirt

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Aug 27th, 2007

Welcome to Monday, first day of the work week for those of us with such desk-chaining schedules. Today's prize is a way to brighten your Monday: a t-shirt! No, not a cool "Somebody's Got a Case of the Mondays" tee, like this one. It's our limited-edition TUAW shirt, the first of its kind, with supplies running pretty low at this point (we're hoping the winner wears a small, but we'll accommodate as we can). To sweeten the deal, today's winner also gets an Ambrosia pack, complete with t-shirt, cap, mug and neat-o pack of playing cards.

To enter, leave a comment on this post between 5AM and 11:59PM EST on August 27. Validate the comment for it to qualify, and only one per person please. Full rules on our TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway page. Good luck and thanks for reading!

UPDATE: Yes, we have tees in sizes S, M, L and XL! Also, this is the week we'll have the iPhone giveaway post-- stay tuned.

TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway Day Ten: iPod nano

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Aug 24th, 2007

Get 'em while they still exist in their current form factor: today's prize is an iPod nano. Again, you pick the color. The catch? Apple has to actually make a nano in the color you request. It was the same deal for yesterday's shuffle giveaway, sorry all you ColorWare fans.

TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway Day Nine: iPod Shuffle

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Aug 23rd, 2007

You didn't think we'd have a giveaway and forget about our little buddy iPod shuffle, did you? Today's prize is just that: an iPod shuffle in the color of your choice. Oh, and another Ambrosia pack, of course. As you may already know, the shuffle is perfect for working out, and its sturdiness will serve you well if you happen to fall down (for reasons unknown).

TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway Day Eight: Baseball Cap

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Aug 22nd, 2007

Another weekday, another prize. Today's giveaway is a baseball cap with the Apple logo on it (and an Ambrosia pack). A black cap, the flex-fit variety, suitable for wearing on one's head. Seeing as how quite a few college students like to wear these things, we hope today's prize will find a good home.

TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway Day Seven: White Apple Pen

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Aug 21st, 2007

Before you fill out that employment application you're going to need a pen. This might not be the iPen, but it is a white Apple logo pen from the Cupertino store. There's really not much more to say, is there? It's a pen. It's white. It has an Apple logo. Thus, we shall give one away. Oh, and another Ambrosia pack and a coupon for a free shirt from Insanely Great Tees.

To enter today's drawing, leave a comment on this post (be sure to validate it) between 5AM and 11:59PM (Eastern) on August 21. Full rules on our TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway page. While you're checking out pages, be sure to peep our iPhone page as well. Do not use this pen as a stylus on your iPhone, however-- double foul.

TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway Day Six: 859 Miles... from Redmond

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Aug 20th, 2007

Here's a golden oldie for you: the slogan "859 Miles and 180° from Redmond." If you recall, this was Apple's snide jab at Microsoft, in banner form at Macworld, when Steve started blabbing about Leopard features. We just happened to have a t-shirt with this on it, purchased during the Macworld conference. You won't find it at the company store in Cupertino any more, however, as our last trip saw rows of "I'm a mac" shirts instead.

Enter to win this shirt (plus an Ambrosia pack) by leaving a comment on this post. Entry period is 5AM-11:59PM Eastern on August 20. Full rules on our contest page.

TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway Day Five: Blue Bottle

by Mike Schramm (RSS feed) on Aug 17th, 2007


When I was a kid at school, after recess, we'd all have to go to the same water fountain, and get in one big line to get a drink. And I would have to sit and wait there, dying of thirst, until all the kids in front of me were done with it. And you just know that kid with the zits (Kenny) probably stuck his stupid mouth right on top of that thing, because the water just barely made it out of there, and you really had to slurp it up, and then the next kid pushed you out of the way too early, and--

Well, you get the idea. It was lame. Fortunately, you don't have to go through the same thing, should you win this spiffy blue Apple water bottle from today's giveaway. Fill it up at your leisure (stick it in the fridge to cool if you want-- it won't mind!), and then enjoy your very own water, on your own schedule, far away from Kenny and his stupid mouth.

To enter today's giveaway leave a comment on this post. Contest entry period is 5AM-11:59PM EDT on August 17, 2007. Same rules as usual, all described on our TUAW giveaway page. Good luck!

TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway Day Four: Silver Lunchbox

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Aug 16th, 2007

Day Four off to a late start for our East Coast readers, but just in time for the West. Today's prize is the Apple logo lunchbox. A pleasant and utilitarian affair, this lunchbox likely doubles as a handy defensive weapon if needed. Bring your own thermos, there's none inside.

To enter today's giveaway leave a comment on this post. Contest entry period is 5AM-11:59PM PST on August 16. Same rules as before, all described on out TUAW giveaway page. Good luck!

TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway Day Three

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Aug 15th, 2007

Today's prize: a pen in black with the Apple logo. Whatever you do, don't make notes on your iPhone with this thing. Use it with the meatspace Stickies app you can find at your local office supply store. To sweeten the pot we've got a clever t-shirt of your choice from Insanely Great Tees and a mystery prize for today's winner.

Same deal as yesterday: enter by leaving a comment on this post. Again, limited to the 50 US states, you must be 18 (or over) and only one entry per person per day, please. Each day we'll open a new post for comments from 5AM-11:59PM. To enter, leave a comment on the post (make sure it appears, check your email).

TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway Day Two

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Aug 14th, 2007

Day two of TUAW's back-to-school giveaway, and today's prize is a red tumbler from the mothership! This food-grade beverage holder is relatively safe from viruses, like your Mac. Unlike your Mac, you should wash it from time to time. Like an iPhone, it is meant to be cradled in the hand. Unlike the iPhone, it doesn't smudge. Then again, you aren't really wiping your ear on a mug, are you? We bought this in January at the Company Store in Cupertino.

Same deal as yesterday: enter by leaving a comment on this post. Again, limited to the 50 US states, you must be 18 and only one entry per person per day, please. Each day we'll open a new post for comments from 5AM-11:59PM. To enter, leave a comment on that post (make sure it appears, check your email). To see full rules, go to our TUAW Back-to-school giveaway page.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's prize: something mightier than the sword.

TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway Day One

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Aug 13th, 2007

Perhaps calling it a back-to-school giveaway is bad. Whether or not you're going back to school right now you're eligible to win one of our prizes. To be honest, there's nothing particularly scholarly about the prizes either. It's just an excuse to give away 14 rounds of prizes. For the next 14 days (excluding weekends) TUAW will give away 14 different prize packages. Some "packages" will be a TUAW shirt with some Ambrosia gear. One day will indeed be an Apple lunchbox, as seen at the Apple Store in Cupertino, aka the Company Store. And one lucky day will feature an iPhone as a prize.

The catch is that each day is a surprise, and each day is a completely new entry period. Again, limited to the 50 US states, you must be 18 and we insist on one entry per person per day, but with 14 chances your chances are that much nicer. Each day we'll open a new post for comments from 5AM-11:59PM. To enter, leave a comment on that post (make sure it appears, check your email). To see full rules, go to our TUAW Back-to-school giveaway page.

Today's prize? A TUAW shirt (we've got sizes XL, L, M and S) and an Ambrosia "swag pack" containing a shirt, hat and deck of playing cards. Tomorrow's prize? Oh, you almost had me. Stay tuned.
