Crave giveaway of the week: Seagate 500GB Blackarmor external hard drive

This week's winner is Adul S. of Chicago, IL

Here we go again with another installment of the weekly Crave giveaway. This week's gadget: the Seagate 500GB Blackarmor PS 110, a pretty sweet external hard drive from Seagate.

In case you're wondering what CNET really thinks about it, CNET editor Justin Yu has given the recently released PS 110 high marks. He says, "A sexy slim design and backup software set make a compelling argument for the Seagate BlackArmor PS 110 external hard drive" (read the full review here).

Normally, the Seagate 500GB Blackarmor costs about $150, but you have a chance to get one gratis.

So, how do you try to win a free Seagate Blackarmor PS 110? Let me enumerate the basic rules. Please read them carefully; there will be a test.

  • Register as a CNET user. Go to the top of this page and hit the "Join CNET" link to start the registration process. If you're already registered, no need to register again.
  • Leave a comment below. You can leave whatever comment you want. If it's funny or insightful it won't help you win, but we're trying to have fun here, so anything entertaining is appreciated.
  • Leave only one comment. You may enter this specific giveaway only once. If you enter more than one comment, you will be automatically disqualified.
  • The winner will be chosen randomly. The winner will receive one (1) Seagate 500GB Blackarmor PS 110. Approximate retail value is $150.
  • If you are chosen, you will be notified via e-mail. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.
  • Entries can be submitted until Monday, July 6, at 12 p.m. EDT.
And here's the disclaimer that our legal department said we had to include (sorry for the caps, but rules are rules):

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. MUST BE LEGAL RESIDENT OF ONE OF THE 50 UNITED STATES OR D.C., 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AT DATE OF ENTRY INTO SWEEPSTAKES. VOID IN PUERTO RICO, ALL U.S. TERRITORIES AND POSSESSIONS AND WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW. Sweepstakes ends at 12 PM EDT on July 6, 2009. See official rules for details.

Good luck.

One time I was walking along the sidewalk and tripped on a stick which cause me to twist my ankle and land sideways on my thigh which was already aching due to some weird anomaly the idiot doctors have yet to figure out because god forbid they ever actually KNOW what's wrong with you which in my opinion is what's really wrong with health care these days not that anyone cares about what I have to say since nobody listens and generally seem quite self-centered and introverted thanks to computers in part which cause them to spend so much time on-line doing god-knows-what and downloading all kinds of crazy pics and videos and such which take up a lot of space and since most of us use laptops these days (do people still BUY a desktop PC?) it means we can't upgrade our hard drives internally and therefore need to use these little buggers such as the one you see above which is not dissimilar to ones I already use for the storage of said pics and videos which is why now see my dillemma and could really use this thing.

I could definitely use something to backup my circa-2002 hard drive besides DVDs.

After 5 years, Firefox faces new challenges

Mozilla helped reshape the Web since releasing Firefox 1.0 five years ago. Now it's got a reawakened Microsoft and Google Chrome to reckon with.
