I would like to add that I have had a bad feeling about the format of this contest and have actually refrained from participating for just this reason. While you guys certainly have the right to do whatever you want, however you want, I just feel that something that requires a bit more of an interest in UMPCs and the surrounding techologies as opposed to when a comment(s) was made, or how many comments were made about an issue is just too complicated to track accurately. That in the fact that whoever is awake or online at the time you decide to post the details of contest has an obvious advantage.

Once again, I think we all appreciate the generousity, I would like to see some restructuring / rethinking so some knowledge as well as luck comes into play. At the least vary the style of the different contests so that the playing field is leveleded. Having a contest won becuase one person and can use Google better then others just somehow doesnt feel right to me, at least not in this particular blogs spirit.
