Computer Giveaway on March 15th!!

Every week, we give away a Web Cam, courtesy of Ustream. Not only did I give one away this past Friday, I also announced that I will be giving away another computer!

The requirements to be eligible for the giveaways are simple. Here is what you need to do:

You must be present in the chat room at the time of the giveaway. We don’t announce it much ahead of time, so you pretty much need to be a regular visitor!
You need to be subscribed to my YouTube channel.
You had to have left a recent comment on any post in my blog.

That’s it! That’s the sum total of the requirements to be eligible. When a giveaway starts, all chatters in the channel lose chat ability. This is to help us be able to see only the winner talking, so we don’t miss out on their pertinent links. Then, our new automatic bot picker will choose a random name. That person has to give us their YouTube link, as well as the name they used to comment on the blog. We then verify the information… and have a winner!

This week’s winner was Cameron_R. Congratulations!

After the giveaway was over… I decided to tease my next computer giveaway! Here’s the deal:

IF we receive 20,000 subscriptions to our Podcast by Kat’s birthday, which is March 15th… I will give away that Spider Computer system!! You must, of course, be subscribed to the Podcast, and be present to win!

I take it eligibility is constrained to the US for both the webcam giveaway and the computer giveaway?

I probably would know by now, but I’ve really only been a follower on Youtube up until now, and Kat mentioned something about the IP address being in the United States.

is it a laptop or a desktop? is it a windows vista based pc? what kind of chipset does it have? i should just stop asking too many questions. i saw your other video on escaping windows, it was hilarious too bad now i have vista and just simply hate it, to me it runs so much slower than XP, i feel like windows vista doesnt give me the options i once had with xp.

Hey Chris,
Just leaving a small post, I wanted to say that you probably should raise the requirements a bit like you said in the video, to something like a paragraph or if not a paragraph but more of an amount of characters or something. Is this the computer that has no power supply or hdd because that’s all i really need, because recently I’ve taken apart my Compaq 5304 and somehow disconnecting the motherboard now completely doesn’t let it start up, just the green light turn on and nothing else. So I have a perfectly good power supply and hard drive so it would be great anyway. Hope I’m there on saturday night.

Hi, this is my first offcial blog on your website and i wanted to start my blog talking about the giveaways you do. I really am appreciative that you take the time and resources in giving away free stuff to people that watch your live feed, and subscribe to you Youtube Account. I wanted to say your a great person in getting the technology news into the hands of us tech nerds that enjoy this kinda of stuff. I hope that you will have tons and tons of success in the coming months and the coming years with this website. I hope that you will find a time to talk about software for video editing that is comparable to Pro Logic 7 for the PC.

sincerley,
jazzmanny

I agree with splash, he is neutral, if you actually look at his videos you would see that, or are you too ‘tarded’ to see his videos?

COMPUTER LINGO

C-omputer wiz (chris pirillo)
H-tml (hyper text markup language, or chris pirillo)
R-ead me (often used to get the users’ ATTENTION)
I-con (represents an object or a program on your hard drive)
S-mart (self-monitoring analysis and reporting technology)
P-np (plug and play, lol)
I-nterNIC (internet network info. center)
R-isc (reduced instruction set computing)
I-nteger (whole number (not a fraction) that can be positive,negativeor0)
L-aptop (portable computer)
L-eaderboard (annoying ads)
O-s (operating system)

There is a guy named Chris Pirillo. Even though he is a COMPUTER WIZ, he is also a HOT MALE. I am writing this and hoping you will READ ME. Chris has become somewhat of an ICON. Because he is so SMART, he doesn’t have to ask “what does PLUG N PLAY and INTERNIC mean”? Chris is not afraid to take a RISK because he is the INTEGER! So, everyone on their LAPTOPs and computers, know that Chris Pirillo is at the top of the LEADERBOARD. Oh, and by the way Vista OPERATING SYSTEM sucks!!
