Hasta La Gadget!

For this week’s Photoshop Contest, I asked you to add technology to classic album covers. I got an absolutely huge and awesome response, over 350 entries, which I whittled down to my favorite 50, including the top three winners.

First Place — Pen Lite
Second Place — Dr. Danger
Third Place — GUI Man

Let all the thumbs load before you dive into the gallery, if you please.

For this week’s Photoshop Contest, I asked you to alter famous and iconic photos by placing technology where it doesn’t belong. We have some absolutely awesome results, so onward! Check out your top three winners and then a gaggle of hilarious images in our Gallery of Champions.

First Place — Born on Bord
Second Place — Gutman Jake
Third Place — Mind’s Eye Creativ

For this week’s Photoshop Contest, I asked you to design some super-deadly robots for our Machines Behaving Deadly week. Here’s hoping none of these terrorbots ever get made.

First Place — Adam Page
Second Place — Mark Fletcher
Third Place — Joey Del Real

This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget didn’t want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back — so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. We’ll be handing out a new gadget every day (except for weekends) to lucky readers until we run out of stuff or companies stop sending things. Today we’ve got a copy of Red Alert 3 for Xbox 360 on offer. Read the rules below (no skimming — we’re omniscient and can tell when you’ve skimmed) and get commenting! Hooray for free stuff!

The rules:

• Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but if you want to share your proposal for “fixing” the world economy, that’d be sweet too.
• You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you’ll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)
• If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you’ll be fine.
  
• Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don’t make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad.
• Winner will be chosen randomly. The winner will receive one (1) copy of Red Alert 3 for Xbox 360.
• If you are chosen, you will be notified by email. 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 Wednesday, May, 6th, at 11:59PM ET. Good luck!
• Full rules can be found here.
