Giveaway Time: Want to Win Two Computers?
Posted on David Pierce | 610 Comments
Of course you do.
It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for! The 2.0 Life is giving away two (count ‘em: two) computers, an awesome bag, and some great software to boot. All in all, it’s worth well over $1,000.
This bundle makes for a powerful, portable, always-in-sync system for anyone who ever needs a computer when they’re not at their desk. It’s the ideal situation for students, professionals, soccer moms, lacrosse dads, and, well, people in general.
(Update: There’s only one day left in the contest! Enter today or tomorrow, through midnight, to win all this insane stuff! I’m loving all the creative versions of “doofusface” I’m being called on Twitter. Keep it up!
Also, a few people have mentioned not being able to find their comment after posting it. It’s there, I promise! Keep hitting “more comments” and you’ll be there.)
Here’s how to win:
There are five ways to enter this contest, all super-simple. You can enter in three different ways, should you so desire, and that’ll count as three entries; only one entry per person, per method.
(No re-subscribing or re-following, by the way. I know when they happen. And for answers to questions, only good ones will be counted.)
1. Subscribe to the RSS feed of The 2.0 Life, and comment here to let me know you subscribed. New subscribers only.
2. Follow me on Twitter: @piercedavid. Then tweet to me something like “@piercedavid I want computers, doofusface!” Make sure it’s to me, and make sure you mention you want computers, and link to this post.
3. Comment on this post, answering the question: “What would you improve about a computer or Web application that you currently use?”
4. Comment on this post, answering the question: “What does your perfect computer or Web application do?”
5. Tell me a funny joke. And it’d better be funny.
Here’s the loot:

That’s how to win. I’ll pick the winner on September 3rd, using methods I’m not going to tell you (mostly because I haven’t figured it out yet. It’ll be awesome though).
Good luck!

A Texan walks into a pub in Ireland on his first visit to the Emeral Isle.
He turns to the crowd and says ” I hear the Irish are big drinkers so I’ve got 500 American dollars for any man that can drink ten Guineess without stopping”.
No one says a word they just turn and continue their conversations. One man even walks out.
Thirty minutes later the guy that left comes back in and approaches the Texan saying…”Is that offer still good for the 500 dollars?”
The Texan says it is and so the man orders up ten Guinness and downs all ten right in a row.
The Texan is amazed, pays him the $500 and asks….”Say, when I first made the offer where did you go?”
The Irishman turns to him and says “I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first.”
an improvement in twitter: when getting tweets on my cellphone, i would like to be able to see tweets from one person grouped together.
A man walks into a bar. As he is sitting down he sees a fellow customer stuff a $10 bill into a large jar, which is filled with $10 dollar bills. The man asks the bartender, “Whats that jar?” The bartenders responds that if you give $10 dollars to the pot you can compete in a bet to win the entire jar – almost $10,000! The man asks what he would have to do and the bartender replies that first you must chug a bottle of whiskey, then pull a tooth from the pit bull out back, then go upstairs and have sex with the owners elderly mother. The man says easy enough and places his $10 in the jar. He quickly downs the entire bottle of whiskey and asks to be directed toward the dog. The man goes outside and everyone hears a great deal of barking, yelping and screaming. Finally the man walks back in and says, “Can I use pliers for taking out this lady’s tooth?”
