We have winners in our ScanSnap scanner giveaway! Ruth Hiner won the ScanSnap S100. And Harvey Rogers won the ScanSnap S1300.
Thanks to Fujitsu for providing the scanners…and to everyone who entered here and on Twitter and told us about the paper documents in their lives.
We’re giving away two ScanSnap scanners (courtesy of Fujitsu). You can still get a shot at winning one of them–here’s how.
Weren’t we supposed to live in a paperless world by now? I seem to have at least as much stuff printed on dead trees in my life as ever—business documents, photos, greeting cards, and a whole lot more. So do you, I’ll bet. And if you’d like to cut clutter by bringing them into the digital world, here’s a way to get a shot at a scanner that can do the job.
Courtesy of Fujitsu, we’re giving away two of its snazzy ScanSnap scanners in a random drawing: the super-portable S1100 (a $199 value, shown on the left above) and the double-sided S1300 ($295, on the right). Both are compact desktop models that can scan to PDF, Office, e-mail, and more, and are compatible with Windows PCs and Macs.
Commenter Jason England won the $150 Amazon.com gift card in our random drawing among everyone who entered 2011 predictions. Congratulations to him and thanks to everyone who entered–and stay tuned for a report on your prognostications.
Once again, in time-honored Technologizer tradition, I’m asking you to make tech-related predictions about the year ahead. (As a group, you guys seem to be much better at it than I am.) And we’re offering an incentive: Everyone who submits a prediction will be entered in a random drawing for a $150 Amazon.com gift card.
Here are the official rules for this little exercise:
You can submit more than one set of predictions if you like, but multiple submissions won’t increase your chances of winning.
Good luck, and have fun–and if you need inspiration, check out the reports on the Technologizer community’s predictions for 2009 and 2010.
We’ve done our random drawing and found winners for the cool prizes we offered to induce you to tell us about your favorite products of 2010. Here are the folks who’ll be getting goodies.
Pssst: I haven’t quite shut down our survey about your favorite products of 2010. Take it now, and you’ll get a shot at some cool prizes. (It’ll close later tonight.)
Say, want to win a cool prize? Here are eleven chances to do just that. We’d like members of the Technologizer community to nominate the best tech products and services of 2010. If you participate, you’ll get a shot at winning one of the following prizes.

Click here to name your favorite products (which will take no more than a few minutes) and enter the drawing. Good luck, and thanks!
Here’s one more reminder about this contest–the deadline to enter is this Sunday, October 31st.
A while back I contributed a guest post about the oldest tech product I still use–a 16-year-old pair of Bose speakers–to a site (sponsored by HP) about unexpectedly bountiful returns on investment. Now the site is holding a sweepstakes that invites you to share your own tales of purchases that paid off in ways you didn’t expect. The grand prize is pretty spectacular: a trip for six to the Napa Valley, including flights, accommodations, spa sessions, a wine-country tour, and a balloon ride–and an assortment of HP products for your office.
You can get a shot at these and other prizes by entering here, and the top stories will be shared on the site.
Last week, I wrote about Roxio Creator 2011, the new version of the do-it-all creativity software for Windows that includes video, audio, and photo editing, file conversion and sharing, disc burning, and more–including new 3D capabilities. The Roxio folks have offered to give free copies of the $79.99 software to five Technologizer readers. We’ll choose the winners in a random drawing–here are three ways to get your name in:
1) Add a comment to this post talking about the the most important audio, video, and/or photos in your life. (Be sure and provide a working e-mail address so we can contact if you win,)
2) Send me an @reply on Twitter (where I’m @harrymccracken) with thoughts about your most important media. (Follow me so I can direct message you if you win.)
3) Head to Technologizer’s Facebook page and leave a message on our wall with your thoughts about your most important media.
Whichever method you choose, do it by 12pm noon PT on Sunday, September 5th–we’ll pick winners from everyone who’s entered as of then.
Good luck! We’ll report back here once we’ve found our winners.
