Comments by an article author on their own article are deleted and do NOT count towards winning. 2. Duplicate comments from the same IP multiple times are deleted, and again do not count. 3. If your entry isn't up yet, and you haven't gotten an email from me... be patient! We're doing them as fast as we can. 4. We cannot and will not "require" a winner to give us photos/videos/stories of what they do. We would greatly appreciate it, yes. But we cannot require it. 5. Comments again! All comments that are only one sentence, or say something only like "great post! I hope you win!" (things along those lines) are deleted. Those are considered to be an insipid comment. GOOD comments are those that show that the commenter actually read the blog post, and is somehow contributing to the discussion. To answer a couple of questions:

If some of the readers want to get discussion going in the comments section ( respond back and forth) are they allowed to have their login show up down in the comments section more than once or will it disqualify all of their comments?

Geeks are notorious for having diverse interests and reading like fiends. I wrote an article on how to cook well and save money, and it is getting a few comments.

Other sites are requiring a follow up story from the winner. not sure if this is an HP requirement or their own. Chris can you clarify?? @kyle @sage if you look at the original HP contest ( they have 50 sites doing different competitions like this one), what they are really hoping for is that the winner will “share the magic” the reason for more than one computer is that they want the winner to give some of them away to other people.. a local school, a nonprofit, a sibling, the kid down the street, the friend who is trying to start a business.

And I'd be a little upset to find my article "insipid". I don't think mine is a waste of time to read or post. I find mine pretty cool (and funny in a way.) I just want to be given a chance...
