Perhaps you should just tour the US with both your middle fingers raised wherever you go. :p

Why not have someone you know in the US enter for you? ...hmm, well, they probably wouldn't share if they won... lol

:eek: ... :eek: ..wow... Ok, yeah, I'm definitely signed up for that now... If I'm reading the 'winners' page (http://www.tigerdirect.com/winners/index.asp) correctly though, it looks like the first prize winner has already been selected..12 days ago, actually. :( Oh well.

After the upcoming contest we will be holding a very very special contest. I should be saying this so early but the top 5 winners will get a 2 year internship at the Foxconn Factory in Zhengzhen China. There you will be part of an assembly line were you will be assembling prototype iPhones and iPads. Do not worry though as it gets even better. We will forward your cell # straight to Gizmodo so you can keep them upto date on the latest revision. :P

I would probably put it all together (if it wasn't already), have fun with it for about a week, then break it down and sell most of it. ...well, at least the 3D glasses and the monitors (replace them with better Samsungs ;) ).
