TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway The End: TUAW T-shirt and more

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Aug 30th, 2007)

This is the end of our fabulous ride through TUAW's Back-to-School Giveaway. We've had some laughs, haven't we? Today's prize is another TUAW t-shirt (in the size of your choice, provided you choose small, medium, large or extra-large). But to sweeten the deal we'll give you an Ambrosia pack and a ...

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

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

Love 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 ...

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

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (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 ...

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

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (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 ...

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

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (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. To enter, leave a comment ...

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

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (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 ...

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

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (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 ...

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

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (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 ...

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

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (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 ...

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

by Mike Schramm (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 ...

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

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (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 ...

TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway Day Three

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (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 ...

TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway Day Two

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (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 ...

TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway Day One

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (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 ...
