Future Competitions and PCWorld (UK) are giving away a snazzy new Advent 4211 (a rebranded MSI Wind U100) netbook with Xp Home. What's a netbook? A tiny, low-powered device with screens ranging from 7-10 inches with a laptop form factor. Most of the present lot, including the Advent, use the efficient Intel Atom processor to bring you 1.6ghz without killing your battery. The great portability and longer battery lifes (4-5 and half hours with a 6 cell batterY) typically attracts writers and students, though many of them have seriously compromised keyboards. Fortunately, this Advent is a 10" unit, making keyboard cramping less of a concern.
The contest ends October 21st, and entering is a simple as entering your name and email address. Good luck, and check after the break for a Youtube review of the Advent 4211.
Enter at Future Competitions Until 10.21.08

TBS and Sharp are giving away a 46" LCD TV to one lucky winner. The contest shamelessly exploits appeals to the growing enviornmental awareness of our generation by asking you to pledge to turn off your energy-sucking TV your lights while you watch Game 4 on TBS. Yes, they want you to conserve energy—they just don't want to conserve their ratings.
At fortunz.com, we're pretty sure they aren't auditing entrees, so be a rebel. Turn on an extra light during the game, and watch FX instead. We won't tell.
You can enter once daily until October 16th. Entry is easy, but this is a big contest, so the odds probably aren't in your favor.
Enter to Win at TBS once a day until 10.16.2008

fortunz.com likes to bring you easy-to-enter contests from small blogs with great odds of winning. But sometimes the prizes are too good to pass up, and we bring you impossible to enter contests from entities where you are more likely to be struck by lightning while scratching off a lotto ticket than to win. Which category does this contest fall into? Well, let's just say you don't want to be eating foods rich in iron right now.
Gizmodo has teamed up with their sponsor Sharp to bring you a chance to win a 37" LCD HDTV. If you've been putting off the inevitable upgrade, this might be just the contest you're looking for.
Entering involves answering 11 TV trivia questions, some with easily googable answers, and others that are complicated enough that you may just bypass building a planet-sized supercomputer and just fill in "42" and be done with it. Men already at risk for male-pattern baldness are encouraged to consider the risks before attempting to answer these questions. Once you have your answers, email them to the address provided, and cross your fingers.
As of the time of this posting, Gizmodo had not yet posted a deadline for the contest. So err on the side of caution and enter soon. Open until September 12th.
Enter to Win at Gizmodo (deadline unknown at time of posting) until 09.12.08

Is GPS just one more way for Darwin to help cleanse the gene pool? Stories about people ignoring rivers and cliffs because their GPS told them to go a certain direction are a pretty constant source of entertainment in the blogosphere (see a couple of stories just to the left of this post). Is it because some GPS units come equipped with alluring female voices that just won't be disobeyed, or are people really as stupid as they seem?
Well, now you've got a chance to win one of your own and find out if it has any additional uses. Celebrity cafe is giving away a Garmin Nuvi 350 GPS unit to one lucky winner. You have until October 31st to enter, but you can enter once per day if you want to increase your odds.
And if your GPS asks you turn into the Potomac, well… do what seems right.

Longtime editor of one of the biggest gadget blogs ever, Ryan Block, retired recently. In the process of cleaning out his 'office', Endgadget managed to rustle up a massive cache of swag just begging to be given away to a lucky reader.

Lots of blogs give that stuff to their readers. Entering is a simple as leaving a comment (and confirming it if need be). But make sure you only leave one.

Xbox 360 Fanboy is giving away Bionic Commando: Rearmed (XBLA) to 5 lucky readers. Bionic Commander is a side-scrolling shooter with a unique gamplay hook: instead of jumping, you use you character bionic arm to grapple, swing across chasms and climb up levels. It looks like crazy fun — a throwback to games like Contra and uh…Bionic Commando from the heyday of the NES — so be sure to enter this contest.
Entering is easy, just leave a comment on the contest post. You can leave one per day, so as of the time of this posting, you could have two chances to enter.
Enter to Win At X3F until 08.22.08 at 12pm Eastern (noon).
