Lets not

Let's not shift the complaints to this venue now. The contest is over, congratulations to the winners is all that's necessary, not bitterness.
Despite the problems, I hope there are still future contests that let people use their talents and hard work to win great prizes. If you didn't win this one, just try again next time! :-)

Yikes - I did not enter the MaximumPC contest, but I agree that this (and the PC Gamer contest) were run horribly. Consider the way the deadline was randomly extended, and the way the rules were vaguely worded and selectively enforced. Did you know, for example, that the YouTube votes were not used at all? It was simply the staff at the magazine picking. Editor Smith told me this on the phone. Actually, this was really more fair, but they should have been more open and honest about the contest. I think these magazines deserve all the negative talk they are getting over this "contest".
Congrats to winners.

What the?

This won? What were there no other entries? I thought you were supposed to show yourself multi-tasking WHILE listening to the the podcast?

This is just an advertisement! I guess you can count pouring coffee into your cereal as multitasking (or just being stupid) but other than that what else was there? Wow he knows how to dual boot, I guess that's how he won.

This was lame to the nth degree and should be presented to the court of shenanigans.

Thanks, had fun doing the contest, and thanks to the sponcers and the tuff competition. The coco puffs and coffee are not half bad, as long as the coffeee's not too hot! Kind of tastes like a cafe' mocha.

No offense to the winner, but I didn't know we were suppose to create an advertisement.

Oh well.

I gotta say, I didn't think this one would win. I do have to comment and say that the way this contest was managed was kind of fubar. Maybe some sort of real voting management would have been nice. Youtube voting is bad at best. Any other contest participants have anything to say?
