For this week's installment of the weekly Crave giveaway, we've got a hot one: Logitech's Squeezebox Boom, which we consider the best all-in-one tabletop Wi-Fi radio we've seen to date. It earned an Editors' Choice award last year. (Read the full review of the Logitech Squeezebox Boom.)

Normally, Logitech's Squeezebox Boom costs about $300, but you have the chance to get one gratis.

So, how do you try to win a free Squeezebox Boom? 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) Logitech Squeezebox Boom. Approximate retail value is $300.
  • 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 20, at noon 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 20, 2009. See official rules for details.

Good luck.

The following product mentioned is available.

And then the other day (last weekend in fact) I was able to make it out to the golf course while my girl got her hair done which of course she was not happy with thank you very much and bye-bye to $150 which could have allowed me to play a lot more than 9 holes while she was having that done which makes me think that it's all a huge sham this hair industry for broads I mean come ON do they really need to spend that much on something they're not going to end up liking anyhow or maybe she's just really picky but other than that it was a nice day because she did make me dinner which is always nice and she IS a pretty good cook but really who can screw up spaghetti even if it did taste real good probably on account of all the fresh vegetables and crap she threw in there which I didn't used to keep around the house before she moved in because what real man eats that type of stuff anyway unless it is snuck in there by some chef trying to make something healthy but otherwise it was a nice dinner in which we normally listen to either her or my ipod preferably MINE since she likes YECH - COUNTRY - whereas I myself prefer Sinatra as would any upstanding citizen of the world should and speaking of music we currently use my old Logitech thingy which sounds fine but I bet this would drown out my girlfriend babbling on about how much she doesn't like her hair and would therefore lighten my heart if only for a few moments about how much money it cost me to make her look like Audrey Hepbern caught in a rainstorm.

were you sitting behind me o the train yesterday? sounds like the same nonstop cellphone conversation, or rather a soliloquy as I can't imagine the person on the other end of that call could even get a word in edgewise... ;)
