Here's your chance to share how you're a geek with the rest of the world. Actually, maybe not the rest of the world. Just several thousand people.
Up for grabs this go around is a 1GB sansa Clip MP3 player in which you can store and play all of your most likely pirated music on.
This contest requires participants to come up with a creative, yet humorous, article pertaining to technology of some sort (IE Computers, the internet, Google, Microsoft, Linux, Nintendo Wii, etc).
Quick Details:

What: We're giving away a 1GB Sansa MP3 Clip player.
When: June 1, 2008 - June 30, 2008.
How: Participants must write a humorous tech-related article. Submissions must be made in this thread.
Entries will be judged by the following criteria:
- Is the article original? Has something like this already been published on the internet?
- Was the article humorous? Would it make someone who is fairly educated laugh? (IE: Absence of crude humor)
- Spelling and grammar - Does it actually make sense? Is the article worthy of being published in a newspaper or other publications?
- Overall effort - Did it appear as though the writer put more than 10 minutes into writing the piece? Are there more than 300 words?
Voting will be done by the moderators of The Geek Forums. In the event of a tie, I will vote for one of the two who are the finalists in order to break the tie. Rest assured that we will verify that your entry was not copied from somewhere else by doing extensive searches on Google and various other search engines and article services on the internet. Anyone who is caught submitting something that they did not write will be disqualified and their actions will be brought to the attention of the RIAA.
