I actually have a mother who uses the computer, but only as a novice (that is type documents, surf the net and print, and even that can create problems lol), and since I hardly find anybody to talk about computers, I got the hang of explaining things to my mother, so not only was it a guideline, but it was exactly what I did lol

Taste is subjective up to a point. Then it is objective, depending on what who that reaches the decision prefers.

No matter what, they liked it, end of story IMO.

You lost me there for a sec

Well, in the end, their terms always state that the decision is final, so there is nothing left to do, all we're giving, IMO, are, well, our opinions lol

So what's your opinion on the winner's explanation?

This was mine:

A Solid State Drive (or SSD) is the morning coffee for a PC; all of the get-up-and-go, all of the speed, none of the caffeine wearing off. The Samsung 830 is the Italian espresso of this PC coffee, refined with years of experience.

What mother doesn't understand coffee?

I have no opinion on the winning entry. It is what it is.

Fair point BlueMak. But I'm not saying that I should have won, just that I'm surprised by the standard of the winning post (on fairly objective grounds).

BlueMak · Dec 21, 2011, 02:17 AM

I am not trying to tell you or anyone else here how to think or say (Apart from you Judas

) but that we should be more classy about this especially since the nature of the competition brought other sites in the game. To an outside of this community, we might not look so good when we mock the winning choice or something...Even if we don't like the result, he/she and Tom's Hardware won, good for them. Hopefully next time we will win.

gaetan · Dec 21, 2011, 02:05 PM

Neither am I saying I should have won, I was also just saying that in my opinion, the winner didn't put a lot of creativity into his entry.

I'm not saying my entry was better as well, it's why I asked what you guys thought about mine.

Anyway, it is what is.

@Takaharu not bad, I like it

Had to figure Tom's would rake up, but I pull for the underdog. The slogan could have been a lot worse, both because they're marketing SSDs as a revitalization of sluggish computers and the two other languages probably involved.

It makes you wonder how many they actually read.
