Thank you to everyone who submitted his or her entries on the HP xw4600 Workstation giveaway. It was quite difficult to pick the winner as many entries are very good and interesting; unfortunately, there can be only one winner. So without any further ado, the winner is Trojanowicz Tomasz from Florida. Trojanowicz plans to use the prize to develop an advanced shoutbox that utilize visual usability with modern web 2.0 interaction and API to allow 3rd-party webapp integration. The project will be called Momo and to be released as an open source application. Congratulation to Trojanowicz and we hope to see his project in the near future. We will be running another big giveaway from HP, so check back tomorrow. We would like to thank HP for sponsoring this giveaway and everyone for taking part in it.

Goodbye from Brenda

By Brenda Stokes on Wednesday, Dec 10th 2008 13 Comments

saying goodbye1I’ve only been writing here on SlashGear for about six months. It feels like I just started yesterday, yet at the same time, I feel like I’ve been doing this forever. I’ve been a part of a great working group, but now I’m off to other things as life often requires. This is my last post.

I’m sad, but sometimes you have to make tough decisions, and this one was certainly tough. Even so, I take consolation in the fact that I met great people here. Everyone was supportive from the get-go, offering advice and even when I screwed up, said so but didn’t tear me down. Constructive criticism was always appreciated.

I’m thankful for the great friends I made here. Thanks for always being great, guys! And how could I forget about the always dutiful SlashGear reader? Thank YOU for reading what I had to say, whether it was opinionated or merely a newsy tidbit. I’ll miss your feedback. I’ve learned so much from you and about the tech world by delving into it each and every day. And with that, I’m hanging up my SlashGear hat. Thanks guys. It’s been fun.

It’s Thanksgiving today, and the SlashGear team will be taking a break to enjoy the day with family and friends.  We’d like to say a big collective “thank you!” to all of the manufacturers, PR people and, most of all, you the readers, for keeping us informed, keeping us on our toes, and keeping yourselves opinionated!  I’ve also been asking the team what they’d individually like to give thanks for; Vincent’s you can see here, the rest are behind the cut.

Last Christmas Vincent sent me a 64MB flash memory key in the shape of a squirrel, but apparently his gift selecting skills have been polished in the meantime as he’s been asked to help TopTechGifts put together their 2008 Holiday Gift Guide.  Suggesting possible presents can be tricky, but I’d wager that Vincent’s top ten will have at least a couple of items you’ll agree with.

IFA 2008 is here, and SlashGear’s special correspondent Milena Glimbovski is on the ground in Berlin to cover the show.  As is usual with these events, manufacturers have been pre-announcing products in the weeks running up, but there should still be plenty of interesting tech to see.  We’ll be picking out the very best of it to bring to the front page of SlashGear.

Palm finally came clean on the Treo Pro smartphone this week, after a variety of leaks and PR blunders tipped customers and media alike to the handset’s existence. Running Windows Mobile 6.1, Palm describe the Treo Pro as “innovative and elegant” and are quick to cash in on the company heritage. Strip away the PR hyperbole, however, and it’s questionable what you’re left with. Far from innovative and 133g of cheap-looking plastic away from elegant, lined up against rivals this “new” Treo looks shabby before its even out of the gate.
