For a four-week period, I’m awarding one Leatherman Freestyle CX to the Gadget Lab reader whose comment best contributes to this site.
This week’s winner is “heroisum,” whose comment on the potential of an Apple tablet adds the hope that tablets will help save magazines and newspapers from extinction. “We need something that can replicate an actual page of content — design cues included,” heroisum writes.
That’s a debatable point, to be sure. And heroisum wins for “comment of the week” not because we agree, but because this is a thoughtful, personal comment that advances the argument.
The prize is a Freestyle CX (above), one of the smallest tools Leatherman makes. It’s got a pair of pliers and a hard, 154CM stainless steel blade, and that’s about it. It fits nicely in your pocket, feels good in your hand and looks cool. Thanks very much to the Leatherman company for donating these as prizes.
There are two more weeks, so keep those comments coming. And as a reminder, here’s Gadget Lab’s comment policy.
Runners-up for comment of the week:
- Gadget Lab is patronizing to “ignant people in ‘third world countries’”
- Greenpeace activists are not terrorists
- An Apple tablet would kill the Sony eReader, not the Kindle
- Some more ways Nokia doesn’t get it
- A folksy bluegrass country tale about peeing over a fence
