In the spirit of Thanksgiving the 1passwd peeps have decided that it’d be cool to let current owners giveaway a copy to someone. It’d have to agree, it’s a pretty cool idea. So if you have a license for 1passwd, you now have the ability to make someone’s day. It’s a limited time offer, but if you hit up this page here, you can fill out a form and send off a license to someone you love.

As for me, if you want my one free giveaway, say “aye” in the comments to this post. We’ll pick someone at random.

So, the contest winners, as selected by the bloggers are as follows:

Bob Crum: “<div id=”wittypickupline”>Hey</div>”

Ray Haque: “I wish I knew how to ⌘Q you”

Congrats!

On a completely separate note, I want to give a huge shout out to Colin Chen at Fabrix Cases for being awesome enough to donate a couple cases for our own kicks.  We’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, Fabrix Cases are pretty awesome. They look good, fit the devices snuggly, and put me at ease.  At ease you say?  Yup, at ease.  Whenever I drop my ipod or throw my laptop into my bookbag in a fabrix case, I don’t worry about it.  They’re well made products, and we’re super proud to have them sponsor us for this giveaway.  Thanks again guys!

Women like geeks. Forget those muscular football players and the chiseled faces of the hot movie stars. I am here to tell you a little secret: Women dig big brains. Some male geeks have already discovered this secret but a lot of you are still polishing your techniques. Before the explosion of technology, a lot of guys who had to rely on their brains to get women would use things like the infamous “mix tape.” We are forever grateful to a hot geek who can fix our computer, hook up our wireless network, and sync our iPod without blinking. Of course, many of us can do these things for ourselves, but what’s the point in admitting this when we can find a cute, geeky Mac addict to do it for us?

So here is your opportunity to tell us your best geek pick-up line. “Got Mac?” just isn’t that original, really. Any geek with a big brain knows that creativity, combined with individual wit and humor, goes a long way. And who says this is limited only to men? Come on all you female geeks, surely you have a few witticisms up your sleeve (or stored in your iPhone) to impress those not-so-geeky men.

Leave your submissions in the comments, along with your email address and website address (if you have one). Originality and sense of humor will go a long way. In fact, our comments section will accommodate Seesmic videos, so put your geek talents to work. The summer TV schedule is a little slow right now, so video entertainment is desperately needed.

We will select two winners from the submissions (and I’m not above taking bribes from the cuter geeks but I can’t speak for the male members of the crew here). The winners will receive an iPod case of their choice from Fabrix Cases. We will also choose 5 submissions to be made into t-shirts that will be offered to Macgasm readers in the future.

Get your geek on. The contest runs through July 25, 2008, with the winners announced on July 31, 2008.

For you, dear Macgasm consumer, that time is now! The fine, fine folks at Wonder Warp Software have given us two licenses for ShoveBox — a product we here at Macgasm think is hella swell — to do with as we see fit. Well, how about we get these licenses (valued at $24.95 each) into the hands of two lucky readers? If you’re feeling our vibe, read on!ShoveBox is the ideal way to keep all your thoughts organized while you’re doing your thing — we’ve all had those images we need for later, those links, that copied text that we don’t want to create a file just to hold on to come our way. All of us have at some time or another trashed our desktop with images and files chock full of copied text that we needed tomorrow, but wouldn’t need next week, and we wanted to just keep handy for a little while.

Just me? Oh — still, I’m certain your desktop hasn’t always been as pristine as it is in the glamor shots on Flickr.

ShoveBox can help clean up a lot of that clutter, and we want to help out the person who might just get the most use out of it; we’re giving away a license to the two people who have the messiest, most cluttered desktop!

It’s easy to enter; just put a screengrab of your messy desktop into our Flickr group and tag it “My Messy Desktop”. We’ll pick the five worst, and put them up to a vote right here at Macgasm.net. The top two are the winners!

We’re going on the honor system here, folks; so don’t just trash your desktop, grab it, and clean it up. We want the real deal.

Not many restrictions: the contest is open to readers with valid email addresses. Sorry, people who write for Macgasm aren’t eligible. Also, PC users need not apply since, you know, it’s Mac software we’re giving away. Oh, and the deadline for entries is March 11, 2008 at 12:01AM UTC-4.

Good luck, and try to stay clean!
