A lot of us don’t have much in the way of home automation, but we’d venture to guess that most of us would absolutely love having a smarter residence. Amazon knows this, and it wants to celebrate its Home Automation store by hooking you up with a Nest thermostat. The smart thermostat — which learns your preferred temperatures, turns itself down when you’re not at home and can be controlled via WiFi — is valued at $250 and is just one of a plethora of products that Amazon is featuring to help you control your house easier, near or far. We’ve got three to hand out to lucky readers, so take a chance by entering in the Rafflecopter widget below!

Last week, we flipped the switch on our #ExpandThrowback contest from the submission phase to the voting phase, meaning the winners of our contest are in your capable hands. What is this contest about again, you ask? Simply put, we wanted to see what old technology our readers could dig up in their garages, attics, closets, glove compartments, et cetera, thus paying homage to the old as we prepare to celebrate the new at this November’s Expand NY event. One lucky winner gets an all-expense paid trip to the event and four runner-ups get a $250 gift card to update their old technology.*
What are some of the old gizmos found in the top 20? Here’s the list, complete with WikiLinks (not WikiLeaks) to fill your thirst for knowledge on tech before we could :
We’ll let you hop on over to the contest and vote for your favorite, and make sure to do so by September 19th. Then, on the 20th, we’ll announce the winners. You also can see the whole smattering of #ExpandThrowback submissions that didn’t make it to the final round here.
*Prizes mentioned in this article are bound by the official rules of the contest.
All throughout August, we brought you our top picks for smartphones, tablets, ultraportables and more. We end on a sweet note with our final back to school guide today, but our giveaway is still running strong.

The contest runs through noon (ET) on Thursday, September 12th, so get your name in before the new semester gets too crazy. Good luck!

We’ve received hundreds of thousands (of kilobytes) worth of submissions for our #ExpandThrowback contest and we want to thank those who valiantly opened up their closets, garages, attics, or just pivoted to the other side of their desk and snapped photos of their best in retro tech.
We’ve gathered as a team at Engadget HQ and winnowed the pickins’ down to our top 20 favorites. Now it’s time to turn the decision on who wins over to you.
Here’s how it works. Click here to jump right to our contest page on Facebook. Peek through the pics and vote for your favorite. To keep it fair, we’re only allowing one vote per Facebook account.

Like Star Trek? How about fan art? Then you’d better head on over to our brother-from-another-mother website MightyMega and enter to win one of three books of cool Star Trek art created by illustrator Juan Ortiz.
Star Trek: The Art of Juan Ortiz is a 112-page hardcover book which features imaginative poster designs for each of the original 80 episodes of Star Trek. It’s as if each episode was a movie, the way Juan looks at it. The book is chockful of awesome images, and has recently hit store shelves.
Head on over to MightyMega now for your chance to win. The contest ends on 9/11/2013 at 11:59 CDT, and there are lots of ways to earn entries.
Don’t act like you don’t want one, because there’s a lot to love about a Tegra 4-powered Android gaming console, especially when it’s an NVIDIA Shield. Our pals at NewEgg were generous enough to dispense with two of its units merely for the pleasure of giving them out to our readers, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do. Head below to our Rafflecopter widget and enter today or tomorrow and you’ll be in the running!

Help us find it, and you could end up with a trip to Expand NY on us, or a gift card to help finally update that old technology.
