Hasta La Gadget!

As we gently tumble from summer to fall we know you’ll invariably start to ponder just what exactly you’re going to need to kit yourself out for the school year. While we can’t help you with your textbooks, Kaspersky Lab has generously offered up five CaseLogic backpacks loaded with stuff to get you started. The highlight is the Sony Vaio Fit 15 but you’ll also find a Microsoft Sculpt Touch Mouse, a $25 Amazon gift card and an activation code for Kaspersky‘s flagship Internet Security 2014 packed along for the ride. Sound good? All you need to do to get involved is drop down to the widget below and get yourself signed up for the contest.

It’s easy to forget that AT&T provides more than just smartphones and tablets — it has a rather robust wireline segment as well. The “Connect to Cell” products you see above are designed to bridge the two services together, using Bluetooth to hook your smartphone (or featurephone) to your home phone system. It also works perfectly fine for those of us who don’t have any landline service at our house, so it can come in handy for anybody. As part of this particular giveaway, which is sponsored by AT&T, we’ve got Connect to Cell phones and $100 Best Buy gift cards for ten lucky winners. If you want to be one of the ten — and let’s face it, you wouldn’t be reading this if you didn’t — go to the widget below to enter. Good luck!

Typically, our weekly giveaways feature gadgets, but we like to spiff things up on occasion. If you’re fed up with your current computer desk or workstation (or perhaps you just need a new one for kicks), this will likely be a good opportunity for you to change all that, as Bluelounge is offering up one of its very own StudioDesks. The desks, which are valued at roughly $600, give you a sliding section, a storage compartment and the ability to tuck away your ugly cords. Even if you don’t win one, it’s worth taking a peek at the company’s lineup. In the meantime, good luck!
