UPDATE! Winner (sixth try)! karenluvs2party, we've sent the official notice of your prize to your Yahoo! Mail account. To claim it, just respond to the email I sent you with the information requested. You must respond from the Yahoo! Mail account we sent the notice to in order to prove you're the winner. After 72 hours, if we haven't heard from you, we'll pick a new winner. Congrats!

We're trying something new here at Yahoo! Tech, and I think it's something you'll like: FREE STUFF. To wit, we're giving away, right here on this very blog, a big prize package courtesy of the Old Spice Ultimate Challenge, 360voice.com, and Xbox. How big? How about a 32-inch LCD TV for all you hard-core gamers to play on?

What do you win?

  • 1 year of Old Spice products (12 body washes, 12 deodorants, 12 body sprays)
  • Official Xbox Racing Wheel
  • Official Xbox Arcade Stick
  • Xbox 360 System Transport Backpack
  • 1 32-inch LCD TV from Dynex

One winner, which we'll select at random on Friday, February 29, 2008 at 10am PST, gets all the loot!

Good luck! Check back on Feb. 29 to see who won! 

How do you enter?

Just leave a comment on this blog post (scroll down to where it says "Post a Comment"). Any comment will do, but you will need a Yahoo! account in order to comment. Play fair: Only one entry is allowed per person. When we choose the winner we'll check to make sure you haven't submitted more than one comment. If you have, you're disqualified. (Remember that comments may take up to 20 minutes to appear live on the site, so if you don't see it immediately, wait a few minutes before you panic.)

 

How will you be notified?

The winner's screen name will be posted on this blog on Feb. 29. We will also email you at the Yahoo! Mail account associated with your screen name (they all include one), so be sure to check on that day. If we haven't heard from you within 72 hours, we'll give up and choose a new winner.

    You forgot the most important tip - dont stand over the fireworks expecting to catch a firecracker (or M80) exploding on the ground, or a bottle rocket or roman candle as they launch.

    Good article. I think I'll try some of this stuff with my A590IS. Another tip for those whose camera does not have those settings, if it is a Cannon, try the CHDK firmware. http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK It adds a ton of extra features including the ones mentioned in this article (rapid fire, long exposures, etc).
