Hasta La Gadget!

In case you missed it, Gawker-owned tech gossip site,
Valleywag, earlier this week, thought it would be fun to offer $100,000 to
anyone who could give them access to the Apple tablet for an hour. Apple,
shockingly, was less excited about the contest. The company sent a cease and
desist letter to the blog by way of a team of lawyers.

The blog claims that the letter, which includes the line “Apple
has maintained the types of information and things you are soliciting … in
strict confidence” serves as “the most concrete evidence (from Apple itself, no
less!) yet that there may indeed be a tablet in the works.”

Apparently not enough to warrant $100,000, the site is instead
awarding a DVD of Legally Blonde 2, a $25 Zune Marketplace giftcard, and a set
of steak knives that is, according to reports “fabulous.”

Let’s hope they actually deliver of their steak knifey
promises, least they receive another legal notice.
