Entered. Do us proud, HH members & guests

Judas · Nov 16, 2011, 09:22 PM

entered..... i don't know... i tried to be a little more original.... even managed to make it ryhm.... lol...

I don't see my entry in the view entry list though so i suppose it has to be confirmed/checked for being clean and not filled with profanities or links to bad stuff..

but i did manage to use all 50 words up....

slugbug · Nov 17, 2011, 05:48 PM

Submitted my entry for what it's worth.

shALKE · Nov 17, 2011, 09:40 PM

I have seen your submission earlier today, can't for the life of me recall it, but I think it mentioned the planet and the stars or summit!

It kinda ryhmed and ended with samsungs "slogans"..

i was just kinda throwing something together ... intiially ended up with 2 lines that seemed to ryhme... and then the 3rd and 4th seemed to.. but i didn't like how it fit... so i musta spent maybe 15 minutes tops trying to make it all sound "decent" without getting to crazy.

After i thought i got it sorted.. i just read it outloud... and it sounded unique/original/good.... and as i had just enough words left..... the slogans FIT perfectly with no less or more than the word limits.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Go Hardware Heaven!

gaetan · Nov 27, 2011, 09:25 PM

Entered as well, a bright idea hit me and I wrote it thinking exactly about a way to explain it my mother lol

Takaharu · Dec 13, 2011, 01:14 PM

Did HH win?

***craig5320*** · Dec 13, 2011, 01:28 PM

The winners should be announced on the 16th by Samsung, stay tuned.

shALKE · Dec 14, 2011, 06:10 AM

Nice

Takaharu · Dec 20, 2011, 10:48 AM

Getting on a bit, isn't it?

***Veridian3*** · Dec 20, 2011, 11:20 AM

Still nothing from Samsung, as soon as we know you will know.

***Veridian3*** · Dec 20, 2011, 12:30 PM

This just in from Samsung...

"Judging has taken place and we can now announce the winning sites.

• The winner of the 15 SSDs and the site who managed the most entries was Tom’s Hardware

• The winning entry and the winner of the ultimate gaming PC courtesy of Samsung – as judged by our panel of mummy judges - was reader Frederick D from Cowcotland.com with the entry:

‘The Samsung SSD is like a new pair of glasses for my computer ! it reads faster than ever!’

Congratulations to our winners and to those who did not win, thank you so much for taking part! We hope to use a selection of the best answers to create some additional content. If we feature any entries from your readers we will let you know. "

Takaharu · Dec 20, 2011, 01:25 PM

I didn't expect to win but that entry won? That's just lame.
It'd be interesting to see the list of websites that entered in order of quantity of entries to see where HH ranked.

What!?

Who on earth was on the panel?

It wouldn't make sense to a computing novice (what? my computer reads? you mean I can scroll down faster?)
It's badly punctuated
It is in no way catchy, memorable or attractive

BlueMak · Dec 20, 2011, 02:30 PM

Congrats to the winners.

slugbug · Dec 20, 2011, 05:07 PM

So the 15 winners were all from Toms Hardware?

***craig5320*** · Dec 20, 2011, 05:11 PM

The competition was for the gaming pc, for the best judged entry. A further prize of 15 drives was awarded to the site that had the most entries, which was Tom's. Now they get to dish out the 15 drives amongst their community.

That's the winning entry?

Meh, congrats to the (lazy) winner

Now that the contest is over, my entry was something like:

"It's like a letter and an email with the HDD being the postman and the SSD being your email."

With character limited, basically, as you probably understood anyway, the SSD gets the job done faster lol

Just out of curiosity, what do you guys think about it?

blibbax · Dec 20, 2011, 09:49 PM

Well you definitely outperformed the winner :P

I can't even remember what I put. Something hardcore I'm sure.

BlueMak · Dec 20, 2011, 10:23 PM

Stay classy people. We are HH, not some third rate site.

True, although you have to admit the jury (whoever that was) has some weird taste
