Hasta La Gadget!

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 two Joby Gorillapod SLR-Zooms to give away. Read the rules below (no skimming — we’re omniscient and can tell when you’ve skimmed) and get commenting! Hooray for free stuff! Two more shots of the products after the break.

Huge thanks to Joby for providing the gear!

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) Joby Gorillapod SLR-Zoom.
• 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 Friday, May, 1st, at 11:59PM ET. Good luck!
• Full rules can be found here.

For this week’s Photoshop Contest, I asked you to preemtively ruin the upcoming Star Trek movie. And you came through, creating visions for tons of versions of Star Trek I never, ever want to see.

First Place — Elliot Valdez
Second Place — Dan Price
Third Place — Chris Crane

Last week, I asked all of you OCD readers to submit pictures of your awesome, over-the-top workspaces. And man, does my desk suck compared to a lot of yours.

How much do you think all of the gear in the below gallery is worth? More than I’ll ever have, that’s for sure. In any case, on to the winners:

First Place — Symon Chow
Second Place — Steve Price
Third Place — Eric Denman

For this week’s Photoshop Contest, we asked you to depict more people and things being tossed into space in honor of Spacebat. You didn’t disappoint.

First Place — Greg Gatarz
Second Place — Chariot is drawn by a horse
Third Place — Howard Suissa
