The wait is over. It’s iPad time..again.

That’s right, folks.  It’s time for the iPad 3.  I know, I know..save your tears of joy for later.  Because now I have to tell you that you can win an iPad 3 for free.  Now you can feel free to weep for joy.  Free iPads 3′s.  Isn’t the world amazing?  You can get all this shiny, fancy equipment for free!  Aren’t contests just the best?

Of course they are. Now do these things and stuff.

So by now you have to be wondering how you can get an iPad 3 for free.  Well, calm down spaz.  I’ll tell you.  First, click the picture up there.  Or one of the things that say ‘click here’.  See?  I make it really easy for you.  On the first page it will ask you some questions that make no bearing on anything.  Answer truthfully or just click through them.  It makes no difference.  When it prompts you, enter your email and click continue.  On the next page, fill out the form completely and accurately.  This is so they can send your iPad to the correct address when you win!  DUR!  Anywho, after that it will ask you some survey questions and ask about offers and crap.  Just say no and click past or skip on everything.  Eventually you want the page that says “Thank you for entering!” or something to that effect. You may have to participate further to get your free iPad 3. Check the contest page for further details.

After that, you’re done!  Now just sit back and wait for the iPads to come rolling in.  Seriously, you’ll probably be swimming in iPads by the end of this.

Additional Information

So what’s new in the iPad 3 anyway?  Short answer: Not everything.  Long answer: Several things.  Here are those several things in a handy dandy new-age internet list form!

Retina Display – Check this out.  The new screen has double the resolution that the old iPads do.  How you like them apples?  The new resolution displays at 2048×1536.  How awesome are those numbers you may ask?  THIS awesome.  Yeah, that’s right.  Let’s put it this way.  Your new iPad 3 will have more pixels than any HDTV.  Did I make your mind explode yet?

New Camera – Well obviously.  It wouldn’t be a new model if they didn’t upgrade the camera just a little bit.  You know, enough so that they can upgrade it just a little bit more for the next iPad.  Anyways, the new camera will have a five megapixel camera.  Hell yeah.  It will also be able to capture 1080p video.  Double hell yeah.  Now you just need to find a socially acceptable way to wave around your iPad in public withoutlooking like a freakshow.

4G LTE – Check this shit out.  This is Apple’s first LTE-capable device.  What does this mean?  It means awesome.  What does this technically mean?  Speeds that are about 10 times faster than 3G.  Excited yet?  This mother is FAST.  It will also feature 3G available across the entire world.  So take the family on vacation to Death Valley..it’s okay, you have an iPad!

A5X Chip – Who doesn’t love chips?  Well, maybe not these kinds of chips.  But this is still a good chip.  The A5X chip is, of course, the chip to which I refer.  This is the new brain and the power behind the new iPad 3.  The A5X chip runs about as twice as fast as the old Tegra 3 chip that the old iPad models have.  The new A5X also has four times the graphics performance.  Just think of all those Angry Birds you will have!

Siri..sort of - Siri even comes with the new iPad 3!  Not the Siri you’re thinking of though.  Instead of doing absolutely anything for you, Siri will now simply dictate what you say and nothing else.  Huzzah!  So I guess you could just call it a ‘microphone’ since that is all it is.  But it’s better than nothing…right?

So there you have it.  The brand new iPad HD 3 TV 4G LTE.  Or whatever.  On the Free Student Stuff iPad Rating Scale, I rate this a “You will buy this anyway so what does it even matter?” out of 10!  Holy crap!  I believe a similar rating was given to the iPhone 4S!  (Also free)  Wow!

So if you want to win this incredible piece of technology, scroll up and click something up there.  You’ll figure it out.  You made it this far..

There’s even more iPhones up in this hizzy

Indeed.  Everyone welcome, praise and bow down to your new god.  The iPhone 4S.  Nope, not the iPhone 5.  This one sounds way cooler.  The ‘S’ stands for super!  Or special!  Or whatever the hell you want.  Who cares?  It’s an iPhone and you know you’re going to get it.  So why not get it for free, I ask?  Well if you weren’t already interested in doing that, you wouldn’t be here, reading this.  Now..keep reading.

The fun never ends

So I bet by now you’re asking yourself, “How in the hell do I get this free iPhone?!”  Well first, calm the shit down.  I’ll tell you.  Just click the picture of the iPhone up there.  Or right below that where it says “CLICK HERE TO ENTER NOW!”.  Does this make sense to you?  It’s a contest.  Click the thing, choose a color, enter a zip code, and click continue.  You with me camera guy?  On the next page, fill in all the boxes accurately.  This is so they know where to send your phone if you win.  You want to win, don’t you?  Click continue and you’ll see some stupid survey things.  Just click no on everything and keep continuing.  Eventually you’ll see a page that says ‘Congratulations – You have successfully entered the contest’ or something like that.  You may have to participate further to get your free iPhone 4S. Check the contest page for further details. After that, you just wait.  And hope.  Hope your sweet little heart out.  Who can say if you’re going to win?  I can’t.  I won’t.  But I’m going to enter this thing as many times as I have emails.  TWICE.  Suck on that, losers.  I have double the chances now.  Hell yeah.

Additional Information

Should we talk about the amazing iPhone 4S features?  You bet your ass we should.  Or I should.  You read about it.

Overview

• Siri
• A5 Processor potato chip
• Holy fuck look at this camera
• HD Stuff
• iOS 5 4S HDTV FBI ABC LED
• iCloud, youCloud
• Retina display (This means ‘screen’)
• Face up in your business
• AirPlay streaming
• You can PRINT?!
• It’s just better
• Apps that do anything for everyone anywhere all the time
• Protection!

Siri – Check this shit out.  You can talk to your phone now.  No, not through your phone to a person.  Who wants to talk to people anymore?  No, this thing is fucking cool.  You talk to your phone and tell it to do stuff.  Seriously.  Like, “Schedule my meeting for 9 o’clock” and it will do it.  Tell it to find you a burger joint and done.  Fingers tired?  Don’t feel like texting?  No problem!  Siri will do it for you!  “Text <insert name> ok”.  This is the future.  I have a feeling Siri 2.0 will be named Skynet.

A5 Processor potato chip – Lol.  Not really a potato chip.  Did you really think there were potatoes in your iPhone?  Come on.  That’s only in the iPhone 3GS.  Many-a-potato.  But anyway, the A5 processor is basically just ridiculous.  This little thing is better than most desktop computer processors.  Really.  It has two cores and is nearly double the speed of the chip in the old, outdated, crappy, regular iPhone 4.  Just how fast is that you may ask?  Fast.

Holy fuck look at this camera – Yeah.  Look at it.  It’s an 8 megapixel camera and has a larger aperture than the old iPhone 4.  It’s loaded with a ton of features that are way too technical to talk about.  But basically, it can see your face and take a really good picture of it.  It also has better lights and stuff.  It’s a good camera.  Way better than any other iPhone camera.  By far.  No longer are the days of “Sorry I took this on my iPhone”.  It will henceforth be “Check this motherfucking picture out, bitch.  I took it on my iPhone 4S.  Jealous?”.

HD Stuff – Did I mention this camera is high definition?  No?  Well it is.  Super high.  How high?  This high.  That’s right.  1080p video recording.  How hot is that?  Now you can take HD videos of your idiot friends breaking beer bottles over their heads.  Videos of people crushing their nuts on a skateboard.  Videos of other stupid people hurting themselves.  What?  What is it you take videos of?  Your cat?  Hilarious.  Here’s a picture of a video of an idiot belly flopping off of a dock.

iOS 5 4S HDTV FBI ABC LED – Only a slight exaggeration.  I love acronyms.  They just roll off the tongue.  Apple says that iOS 5 is years ahead of any other phone operating system.  Which doesn’t really make sense unless they have an iTime Machine.  How can something be years ahead of something if it was just released?  I hate it when people say that shit.  It doesn’t make sense.  But hey, iOS 5 is cool and stuff!  It has over 200 new features.  You’ll probably only use around 10.  Such features include the notification center (Years ahead, huh? Android has had this for years), iMessage (Basically AOL Instant Messenger only for devices that have iOS 5..Seriously), Twitter integration (Just what iPhones need..more tweets), Reminders (Yay.), iPhotos and more camera stuff that I talked about already, blah blah blah.  Probably the only other interesting thing is that you can sync it without cords and set it up without connecting to a computer.  Huzzah!

iCloud, youCloud – We allCloud for iScream.  See what I did there?  Anyway, iCloud is basically your life jammed into one app.  It takes all your music, photos, apps, mail, contacts, calendars, documents, pets, girlfriends and more.  It then somehow seamlessly lets you access all of this stuff from the ‘Cloud’.  Who knows?  This might actually be kind of cool.

Retina display (This means ‘screen’) – Yep.  It means screen.  The glass screen to be specific.  Or otherwise known as ‘The front of your phone’.  Apparently in the 4S the screen has a super duper high jiggawatt (1.21) resolution screen.  The highest resolution in the world, actually.  Yeah!  It’s so super high that you couldn’t see pixels even if you tried.  Go ahead, try.  You can’t.

Face up in your business – ALL up in the bussiness.  Your business.  This is Facetime.  Basically, it is Skype on an iPhone.  Still not getting it?  It’s video calls.  Video phone.  People seeing you while you talk to them.  Also you can see them.  Usually their face.  You get to spend time with your friends’ faces.  Time..face..FACETIME!  I GET IT!

AirPlay streaming - Let the whole room know what you’re doing.  You can stream anything you do to an HDTV now.  Usually this would be used for videos and the like.  I would just use it as have a super huge screen for my iPhone.  Seriously, how fucking cool is this?  Texting on your TV?  ANGRY BIRDS ON YOUR TV?!  OMG.  BRB, BUYING IPHONE AND HDTV AND ANGRY BIRDS.

You can PRINT?! – Indeed you can.  Wirelessly print your whole life away from your iPhone.  Yeah, I got nothing for this one.  It’s just wireless printing.  Not very funny.  Unless you print something funny.  Like a kitty!

It’s just better – Pretty much says it.  Download speed is doubled for one. Call quality is better because of some voodoo they did with antenna switching.  Hopefully silly things like your hand won’t drop a call anymore.  It’s also a what we in the biz call a ‘world phone’.  Meaning you can use it basically anywhere in the world.  You know what that means, don’t you?  GPS!  Yay!  Your every move is being tracked ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.  Or something.

Apps that do anything for everyone anywhere all the time - Is there an app for that?  You bet your ass there is.  Just ask Siri.  No really, ask Siri.  Siri knows.  Siri knows all.  Siri can do anything.  Call anyone.  Siri knows your secrets.  You better ask Siri for some..

Protection! – Was that a great way to lead into this or what?  Applecare is the name of the game.  You get one year of hardware repair and 90 days of phone tech support.  Woop de doo.  Or you can buy the more expensive Applecare plan called Applecare+.  Creative, isn’t it?  With this one you get two whole years of coverage.  Ooooh..two years.  And it covers you for accidental damage…twice!  Yes, only twice!  How reasonable!  Do you know what will be happening in two years time anyway?  The iPhone 7 will be coming out by then.  But you should totally get Applecare.  It’s soooo good.

Wake up Sheeple!  The new iPhone 4S is bitchin’ awesome!  It rocks, it talks, it walks, dances, cooks and dates your girlfriend.  On the Free Student Stuff Cell Phone Rating Scale, I rate this a “You’re going to buy it no matter what I say anyway, so what’s the point?” out of 10.  Wow!  What a good rating!

So if you want to enter to win one of these monsters for free then scroll ALL the way back up and click my pretty pictures.  I believe it says something like ‘Click here’.  It’s a dead giveaway.

iPad, youPad, we allPad..

For iScream.  Get it?  I do.  Because I’m damn funny.  So hey.  Here’s a fun contest to enter.  You can win an Apple iPad 2 for free.  That sounds pretty fun doesn’t it?  DOESN’T IT?!  Damn straight it does.  Everybody loves free stuff.  Especially free iPads.  So win one.  For free.  Did I mention that?  It’s a free contest.  Besides, it’s a new iPad.  You know you’re going to get it anyway.  So I say, lets get it for free!  That’s the Free Student Stuff motto!  That, and the dinosaur thing.

 RRRRARAAAARRRGHGHHH!!

I love dinosaurs.  They’re tough to fight but I do it for you.  Anyway, here’s how to enter the free contest.  Did I mention it’s free?  Okay, I’ll stop now.  It’s really easy.  If you can’t figure it out, well, then you might have a problem.  Not something that I want to deal with, that’s for sure.  So first, click the picture of the iPad.  Or the one that says ‘Click here to enter now!’.  See?  I make it really easy for you.  When you get to the contest page, start by answering those stupid three questions.  Then give it your zip code and click continue.  Fill out the form on the next page (So they know where to send it, dur) and then click ‘Click to continue’.  Rest assured, your information is 100% safe and won’t be sold and junk.  Poof, you are now in the contest.  Congratulations.  You may have to participate further to get your free iPad 2. Check the contest page for further details.

Additional Information 

Now then, lets discuss the awesome features that this bad boy can throw at your face.  There’s a bunch.  Now read about them.  Or don’t, I don’t care.  Do whatever you want.  I’m only here to help.

Overview 

• Super-hyper advanced Apple technology
• Pretty processor
• You turn me on so fast
• Energizer bunny batteries
• Cameras and junk
• Really smart covers
• Hooray iOS 5
• iCloud, youCloud
• Wi-fi and 3G
• AirPlay and AirPrint

Super-hyper advanced Apple technology - At least it was at the time of release.  It’s all more than likely obsolete at this point.  Just think of what the iPad 3 will have!  Much better stuff than this, I bet.  But hey, this is at least cutting edge technology for now.  Enjoy it while you can.  You can check emails and watch movies and stuff.  You know just like on your iPhone.  Except BIGGER!  And SHINIER!

Pretty processor – The iPad 2 runs on the highly acclaimed dual core A5 processor.  What does this mean exactly?  It’s fast.  How fast?  THIS fast.  Now I know you’re asking yourself, “Wow, that’s pretty fast! How will I ever keep up?”  Well lucky for you, the iPad can slow down to your puny brain processing speed.  Even though it is way better, faster and smarter than you in every way.  You should thank your iPad for lowering itself to your level.  Go on, do it.

You turn me on so fast – No need to shut down your iPad anymore.  Ever.  This baby has no moving parts inside.  Know what that means?  Flash storage.  This also means it can wake up at the push of a Home button.  Instantly.  No more booting or waiting for it to catch up with itself.  Remember, the iPad 2 has to slow itself down so you can catch up with it.  Now play nice.

Energizer bunny batteries - Not really.  But they do keep going and going and going.  Much like the bunny.  Apple has worked some magic voodoo with the hardware that makes it stupidly efficient.  It can last up to 10 hours at a time now.  If it’s in sleep mode, who knows how long it can last?!  I had an iPod Touch in sleep mode for three months once.  These things are really resilient.

Cameras and junk – You’ve heard about it.  Now experience the creepy for yourself.  Facetime on an iPad.  See your other iPad-toting friends in full HD glory.  There’s even a camera on the back too.  You know, for pictures and stuff.  Video too.  So get this, not only does the iPad 2 have two cameras, but they are both HD and shoot HD pictures and video.  How fucked is that?  Fucked in a good way.

Really smart covers – As if the iPad 2 needs more smarts.  It’s already way smarter than you.  Haven’t you been paying attention?  But the smart covers are pretty cool anyway.  They protect the iPad from you, the idiot that drops iPads.  It also can serve as a stand when you want some mind-numbing HD video to watch.  Just think of all the cute kitty videos you can see on YouTube now..in HD!

Hooray iOS 5 – In all its glory.  The iOS 5 is the most advanced mobile operating system in the world.  According to Apple.  So yeah, of course they would say that.  It’s obviously going to be better than their old versions.  See, this is how they get you.  With creative word play.  Just like me.  But hey, the iOS 5 has over 200 new features or something.  I doubt you’ll use more than 15 but whatever.  There’s also, like, 140,000+ new apps?  So yeah.  There’s more than likely an app for that.  Or anything else you might need.  You best be getting Angry Birds though.  I mean, shit, on a huge ass screen AND in HD?  How can you refuse?

iCloud, youCloud – Yeah I know I already used that joke.  Deal with it.  Apple made it to easy by putting an i in front of every goddamn thing they make.  So blame them.  But iCloud is cool.  It wirelessly taps into your music, photos, documents, bank statements*, credit cards* and deeds to your house* and makes sure you can access them all on your wireless devices.  Like the iPad 2.  Or your iPhone.

*It may or may not do what I said here.  Trolololo

Wi-fi and 3G – No longer are you stuck in the dark ages of 2G or no G’s at all.  You can get up to 3G’s now.  But you gotta pay.  That’s how they get you!  They make you sign shit with AT&T if you want 3G.  See how much this free iPad 2 is costing you now?  It’s almost not worth it.  Except it is most definitely worth it.  So do it.  Also, there’s wi-fi.

AirPlay and AirPrint - Tired of looking at the dinky little iPad 2 screen?  No problem!  With AirPlay you can stream everything to your living room HDTV!  Why, it’s like having a gigantic iPad in your living room!  Except you can’t touch it.  So think of the iPad as a remote in this case.  A super awesome multi-touch glass remote.  AirPrint is cool too.  You can wirelessly print stuff.  Hooray.

There we have it.  The iPad 2.  Now you know all the pretty little details for yourself.  So all you need to ask yourself now is, do I want one for free?  Let me answer on your behalf.  FUCK YES YOU DO!  Now click my stuff up there and enter the contest.  It’s free and junk.  You may win.  You may not.  Who could know?

Contests are fun.  With this contest you can have your choice of a brand new 3DTV.  The only catch is you have to choose which brand you like the most.  The three contenders are the Samsung 40″ LED 3DTV, the Sony Bravia 40″ 3DTV or the Panasonic Viera 37″ 3DTV.  Abbreviations are fun too.  LED3DHDTV.  If you can decipher that then you get a cookie.  And a free TV.  But you have to click those pictures and enter your email to enter.  You may have to participate further to get your free 3DTV. Check the contest page for further details. Don’t worry, it’s safe and stuff.  You can trust me.  I’m a doctor.  Of badassery.  You heard me right.  Just call me Dr. Badass.  I am here to heal your non 3DTV having wounds.  Now take one.  Seriously.  It’s a contest for a free 3DTV.  What the hell are you waiting for?

So I know what you’re asking yourself.  Which gorgeous TV do I choose?  All I see is pictures!  Well, allow me to help.  Below is a comprehensive breakdown of the major features of each TV, what makes them unique and my personal take on each of them.  I will also compare the TVs to each other (Hint: The Panasonic one is the best).  At the very end I will make a recommendation (See previously mentioned hint).  But the choice is yours and yours alone.  Thank you, Olmec.

Samsung 40″ LED 3DTV

Product Features

• Cinema-Quality 3D Experience
•  Smart TV with Web-Connected Samsung Apps
• Visually Mindblowing LED Picture Quality
• Allshare Enabled
• Design – Mystic Earth Touch of Color
• Video – 40.0″ Screen Measured Diagonally with a 1,920 x 1,080 Native Resolution
• Features – Samsung Apps Platform, 3D Enabled
• Inputs & Outputs – 4 HDMI Inputs

Let’s break it down..

Cinema Quality 3D Experience – Oh yeah.  This is the bread and butter of 3D television.   It’s gonna look like Snooki is jumping out of the damn screen!  Of course, you need to wear the goofy 3D glasses for this.  The TV only comes with one pair so you will most likely have to buy some more.  But come on, you’re getting a free 3DTV.  This is a small price to pay.  But anyway, these glasses have some magic voodoo that interact with the TV to produce incredibly realistic 3D images.  Most shows on television can be converted for 3D viewing as well.  How cool is that?

Smart TV with Web-Connected Samsung Apps - Yup, more apps.  Just what you need, right?  RIGHT!  Samsung apps are made specially for this TV.  There are tons of them and they can easily hook you up with new videos, games, social networks like Facebook, sports and a shit load more.  It’s ridiculous.  So now you basically have a smartphone app store on your TV.  Except the apps are for your TV.  Some of the apps include streaming Netflix, Blockbuster, Hulu and YouTube, in-depth technical sports information via ESPN, news feed viewing for Twitter and Facebook, and even streaming music via Pandora.  You can basically chuck your phone in the trash now.  This TV has everything you could need, ever. 

Syncs with multiple devices using AllShare – What is AllShare you ask?  AllShare is a program that can sync almost any digital device to your 3DTV.  This means you can hook up your iPod, phones,  computers, laptops, cameras and anything else that could store multimedia.  So now all of your favorite stuff is accessible on one big-ass screen.

ENERGY STAR Compliant – It’s important to stay green.  Samsung’s televisions far exceed the ENERGY STAR 4.1 standards.  In fact, Samsung TVs are 43% more efficient than what is required.  Kiss your carbon footprint goodbye with this bad boy.   It saves you money too by making it that much easier to conserve energy.  Fuck yeah.

4HDMI: 1 connection, 4 shared devices – That’s right.  You can connect all your favorite consoles to a separate box that connects to the TV.  Your TV will be kept cable cluttery free and you can hide all your cables under a chair or something.  Whatever, that’s up to you.

User Reviews  

Damn, so this one sounds fuckin’ great!  2D-3D conversion, Samsung Apps, AllShare, Energy Star compliant and a ton of A/V connections!  What more could you want in a TV?  I give this television the Free Student Stuff score of 8.5/10.  Let’s move on to the next..

Sony Bravia 40″ 3DTV

Product Features

• Internet Streaming and Connectivity
• X-Reality Engine
• See It All in 3D
• Edge LED Backlighting
• Presence Sensor
• Media Remote App.
• Faster Start-Up
• BRAVIA Sync Compatible
• LightSensor Technology
• MotionFlow XR 240
• USB Photos, Videos & Music

Whew, that’s a lot.  Now, for the..

Breakdown!  

 Internet Streaming and Connectivity – This one is similar to the options available with the Samsung.  You can stream on Qriocity, Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube and Pandora!  Awesome, so we aren’t losing any features so far!  But this one has something that the other doesn’t.  It is Skype ready!  Awww yeah.  You can get 100% free HD Skype video calls from the comfort of your very own couch.  You do, however, need to buy a Sony compact microphone/webcam (Model CMU-BR100 for anyone that’s interested).  It’s way cooler than Skyping on a computer, seriously.

Wi-Fi Ready -  Yes, wi-fi READY.  Know what that means, right?  You need to buy more stuff!  Hooray!  Keep in mind you’re getting a free 3DTV so this is somewhat of a small investment.  You have to connect the UWA-BR100 Wi-Fi adapter and then the internet is at your fingertips.  So this one is probably a slight downside but there is more to consider.  Read on..

   X-Reality Engine – This is one of the awesome upsides.  Think of it as super HD.  The X-Reality engine analyzes the pictures on the screen and automatically sharpens them for you.  It also gives you incredible contrast detail so the 3D-ness of it all looks that much more real and awesome.  This is definitely a high point to consider since neither of the other TVs have this one.

 See It All in 3D – Did I mention this is a 3DTV?  Okay, it is.  Full HD (1080p) capability.  Also, very easy to set up.  It comes with a built in 3D sync transmitter so you get the most out of your viewing experience.  Again, this only comes with one pair of the glasses.  You will need to buy more if you have more people other than you watching TV.  A small investment for a free TV, I think..

 Edge LED Backlighting – This is Sony’s pride and joy in the new line of 3DTVs.  They have made a super thin backlighting system that can make the picture so sharp that it’ll cut diamond.  That’s pretty damn sharp, eh?

 Presence Sensor – Another good way to save your energy and money.  It has a built in motion sensor that periodically scans the room for movement.  It will automatically shut off the picture (leaving sound) if it doesn’t detect any movement.  After a bit longer it will completely shut off, saving you a little extra on your energy bill.  Of course, this would be a non issue if you just turn your TV off when you aren’t watching.  But seriously, who does that?

Media Remote App –  Okay, this is seriously cool.  The Media Remote App is an app that you download for your iPhone or Android powered phone.  It turns your phone into an extremely sweet remote control with a full QWERTY keyboard.  How kickass is that?  It will even include options that the regular remote won’t have on it!

Faster Startup –  Sony has built a new feature into their line of 3DTVs called Quick Start & Viewing.  This lets you turn the TV on and start watching your favorite shows 2-3 times faster than any older Sony models.  Time is important!  It cannot be wasted!

 BRAVIA Sync Compatible – This one is so cool it’s almost creepy.  You can syn any other Bravia branded devices to your TV and control them remotely.  How weird.  This includes any surround sound systems, Handycam camcorders, other HDTVs, Bluray Players and Cyber shot digial cameras.  With one remote.  Like I said, creepy.  Or cool.  Whatever your cup of tea is, I guess.

 LightSensor Technology – Another nice feature that can save energy and strain on your eyes.  The TV has a built in light sensor that will automatically adjust the picture’s light levels based on the amount of light in your room.  Also creepy?  Maybe a little.  But the creep factor does not outweigh the energy saving factor.  Nor the eye strain factor.

 MotionFlow XR 240 – These are usually cool but it takes a lot of getting used to.  This is the kind of setting that makes your show look like it was filmed with a soap opera camera.  It just makes everything look incredibly smooth.  It cuts back on the blur effect caused by fast movement scenes and enhances the image sharpness even more.  Basically, it makes the picture look a LOT more real.    

USB Photos, Videos & Music –  Can’t wirelessly sync your stuff?  No problem!  This beast comes equipped with USB 2.0 ports that can accept connections from any digital camera, MP3 player or USB Hard Drive.

User Reviews

Wow, this one has a lot of tasty features.  It sounds delicious!  Plus it has a ton more features than the Samsung!  I especially like the MotionFlow.  This TV definitely gets extra points for that.  Seeing high action movies (or high movement) with MotionFlow on is truly a sight to behold.  It’s just so..pretty.  So damn pretty.  The X-Reality Engine and Edge LED backlighting earn it some extra favor as well.  I just love how all of these features are designed to make you say, “HOLY FUCK!”.  Each one contributes in it’s own way to give you the most beautiful, mind-blowing and breathtaking image possible.  I score this one at a whopping 9.5/10.  This will be tough to beat!  Now, on to the last one..

Panasonic Viera 37″ 3DTV

Product Features

• Full HD 3D (1 Pair of Glasses Included)
• Flush Design
• IPS Alpha LED Panel
• 240Hz with Motion Picture Pro 5
• VIERA Connect WiFi Ready
• ENERGY STAR Qualified

Let’s find out what this all means, eh?

HAMMERTIME! 

FULL HD 3D Infuses Reality into Every Image – Panasonic takes a very different approach to their 3DTVs.  Instead of just showing a single image that is filtered through special glasses, the Panasonic Viera flashes alternate images for each eye at a super high speed of 120 frames per second.  You won’t even realize it’s happening.  The glasses then filter out the opposite image.  For you, this creates a super realistic 3D image that is unparalleled in quality and beauty.  So far, I’d say this TV is winning.  Hardcore winning.

Virtually Blurless 3D Images – This is similar to Sony’s MotionFlow feature.  Panasonic’s system is called APD or Advanced Predischarge Driver.  It works by scanning the image on the screen and cutting down on the natural blur effect from high movement scenes.  It makes everything look super crisp and clean.  Also sort of soap opera-y.  But you’ll get used to it.  Watch a Michael Bay movie with this setting on and then tell me you don’t like it.

High-Speed Rendering – The revolutionary technology used in the Viera’s screen creates the left and right eye images flawlessly.  This is something that other companies have failed at.  The trick to the Viera is that it uses a smooth flowing liquid crystal material that increases the response speed by a lot.  This creates a much more vivid and clear picture for the viewer (you).  

Easily Convert 2D Images into 3D – This is one of the main selling points that makes the Viera kick the competition out of the water.  It can actively convert 2D images into 3D images.  In real time.  This works for everything.  Literally everything.  You can watch non 3D Blu Ray movies, regular DVDs, even plain TV all in high quality 3D.  It also improves the quality of the image to such a degree that you may think you’re seeing it in HD.  This seriously is the coolest feature on the TV, hands down.  

Wide Viewing Angle – This is another big deal.  With lots of regular HDTVs,  you can only get the best view if you are sitting directly in front of it.  Not anymore.  With the Viera  there is a viewing angle of 178 degrees.  This means no matter where you sit in your living room you will get the same picture quality as everyone else.  The specially designed backlight has an extra wide transmission aperture.  This allows it to enhance the differences between light and dark pictures which makes for an improved image no matter where you view it from!  Shit, this almost makes me want to buy one!  But fuck that, let’s get it for free.  

Memories Are Even More Powerful in 3D – If you have a 3D compatible camera then you can view your favorite pictures on your Viera TV.  In full 3D.  Fuck yeah.  Since the Viera comes with a SD port, it’s only too easy to transfer over your pictures.  

Get Your Game Face On – This is a must have TV for gamers too.  The Viera will automatically change the viewing settings you give the best possible image while you game.  It’s a super fast process that gives no delays.  So nothing will keep you waiting.  Even darker games like F.E.A.R. that have intricately detailed scenes are easy to see.

One Remote To Rule Them All – This is also very cool.  You can connect almost any AV device (Xbox, camera, Wii, etc) to the Viera and control them all via the Viera remote.  Viera Link is incredibly easy to set up and saves you a lot of space when connecting cables.

User Reviews

Shit, this one may be smaller but they really sold me on it.  It sounds bitchin’ awesome.  I really like how Panasonic took a different approach to their 3D technology.  It really makes a unique product in the end that ties all of the features together perfectly.  Their APD system, high speed rendering, 2D-3D conversion, viewing angle and gaming options altogether make an experience like none other.  This TV is like as if the first two had a baby and named it Zues.  That’s the level of awesome we’re talking about here.

Out of a choice of these three TVs, I’d pick the Panasonic, hands down.  I give it a score of 10/10.  A+.  Perfect.  Awesome.  The bestest.  There, now you have the Free Student Stuff seal of approval.

So there we have it folks.  You now know everything that I know about these TVs.  They rock.  And you can win them for free.  Lets do it!

Free Student Stuff is all about those contests

I have a great offer for you today.  It’s not even an offer.  It’s a contest.  Contests rule!  They’re easy, fun, and last so long that by the time you win, you’ve forgotten that you even signed up!  Also they’re free.   Huzzah!  In this contest, you have the choice of an iPhone 4, an iPad, or one of those monstrously mondo iMacs.  Really, those things are fucking HUGE. They all probably come with other stuff too.  But I don’t want to look.  Just sign up, seriously.  It’s a contest.

It’s so easy, a Geico caveman could do it twice

So who’s ready to sign up?  It’s easy as shit.  First click the picture, choose which fantastic Apple product you want, and hit continue.  Then you do a puzzle.  Who the hell knows why?  If you can’t get past this step then you have bigger problems than not enough Apple stuff in your life.  After you solve the “puzzle”, enter your information (so they know where to send it if you win), say no to all the dumbass offers they try to throw at you, and continue to the last page.  When it says ‘thank you for participating’ or something, that means you’re done.  Congratulations.  Now just wait for the prizes to roll in!  Yay!

Product Information

I wouldn’t want to send you in blind would I?  Meh, I probably would.  But I won’t.  Because I rock.  Here’s some features and specs of the aforementioned Apple goodness.  Let’s get technical!

Apple iMac 21.5″ Core i3 3.06 Ghz

 Overview

This thing is a hause.  Not only is it just freaking huge, but it has good hardware as well!  The iMac 21.5″ Core i3 3.06 is juicin’ with a dual core 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 Clarkdale (I3 540) processor.  It also boasts a dedicated 256k L2 cache for each core with a 4 MB shared L3 cache.  If you know what that is, then great!  If you don’t, well, I’m not going to explain it.  Suffusive to say, it’s good.  We’ll just leave it at that.  It doesn’t have a system bus either.  Instead they use a magical demon device called a Direct Media Interface.  The DMI creates a connection between the processor and the chipset that can transfer at about 2.5 GT/s.  Fuckin’ right.  Puttin’ that system bus to shame.

It also comes packaged with 4 GB PC3 10600 RAM (DDR3).  On top of that is a 500 GB 7200 RPM hard drive, one of those crazy sideways DVD bays, and an ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics card with 256 MB of dedicated memory.  This doesn’t completely limit your gaming options but definitely cuts it down a bit.  Also it’s a Mac so you’re pretty limited to start with anyway.  It also has a built in video camera and stereo speakers underneath the 21.5″ glossy widescreen LED backlit LCD monitor (native in 1920×1080, yikes!)

Connectivity ain’t no thang but a chicken wang for this bad boy.  It has four USB 2.0 ports (awesome), a Firewire 800 port (cool), built in AirPort Extreme (as it should), and a Gigabit Ethernet port (hooray?).

This particular model includes an aluminum Apple Wireless Keyboard and a strange “Magic Mouse”.  I call them Apple mice because it’s a mouse that only an Apple user would use.  Fuckin’ janky-ass weird things.  But hey, to each their own.  I just don’t prefer those weird things.

Next up is the highly acclaimed iPhone 4.

Apple iPhone 4

Overview 

The iPhone 4 has been praised as the biggest thing since sliced bread or the first iPhone.  Or the second and third for that matter.  It has a stainless steel body case with an extremely high density 3.5″ LED backlit multi touch screen (960×640 resolution).  Here’s the fun part.  It has a mobile and data antenna integrated in the metal case that’s wrapped around the sides of the phone.  This is only a problem for people that hold their phone in their hand during calls.  It also has some black magic hardened glass over the display called aluminosilicate.  The front and back of the phone also have a layer of oil repellent that’s called oleophobic. I think Apple just makes up these pretty words so they can say their phones have complicated shit.

It comes with two cameras on it.  Yes, two cameras.  Very practical.  One on the front and one on the back.  The back camera isn’t too bad.  But it’s no champ.  It’s a 5 megapixel camera that can take still shots as well as shoot 720p HD video.  It can do a 5X digital zoom and create whatever picture you’re taking look like blurry crap.  There’s even an LED flash!  Now you can blind whoever you’re taking a picture of!  The camera on the front is basically so you can Skype.  They call it video conferencing.  I call it elusive phrasing.

The brain of this genius little device is the Apple A4 processor.  It runs on 512 MB of RAM and has 16 or 32 GB of  storage.  Not bad for a phone.  Any phone.  I just wish you could expand it with micro SD or something.  Seriously, they’re missing out on a huge market there.  I don’t understand it.

Here’s some pretty words and acronyms about the network support.  It includes UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA at 850, 900, 1900 and 2100 MHz respectively and GSM/EDGE at 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz respectively.  802.11g/n and Bluetooth 2.1 are supported as well.  This fuckin’ thing will interface with about everything but a toaster it seems.  But don’t worry, there’s probably an app for that.

Supposedly the iPhone 4 can hold it’s own for up to 40 hours of music, 14 hours of talking on 2G (which is moot because who the hell would talk on 2G when 3G is an option?), 7 hours of talk time on 3G (oh, that’s why), 6 hours of internet use for 3G (really?), 10 hours of internet use for Wi-Fi (still really?), 10 hours of video playback (aw yeah!) and 300 hours of standby time (oh thank GOD I can have this on for 300 hours and not use it for anything).

It makes for a pretty tempting prize, does it not?  Well we have one more thing to talk about.  The big iPhone that doesn’t make calls: The iPad!

Apple iPad Wi-Fi 16 GB

This is basically straight up voodoo at this point.  The iPad is a tablet computer that is designed for basically being the coolest shit in the world.  Not a single other tablet has come close to hold a candle to the iPad line.  And there’s only two kinds!  And they still kick fucking ass.  This thing is perfect for lurking the web, emails, pictures, videos, bad-freakin-ass games, ebooks, music, and so much other cool shit that I can’t even fit it into this sente-

See what I did there?  Well, it comes fully loaded and ready to pounce with a 9.7-inch multi touch LED backlit screen (1024×768 resolution) and runs a ‘special’ version of iOS (think iPod or iPhone)  This means you can use it with most of the apps that are also usable on the iPod Touch and iPhone.  Just not Mac OSX.  Let that sink in for a second.  I’ll wait.   …  Yeah.  It’s stupid that they call it a computer when regular computer applications don’t run on it.  That said, this little fact does not make the iPad any less of a fucking fun time.

The heart of this monster is the ever popular Apple A4 processor with a top speed of 1 GHz.  It comes in three sizes of storage space (16, 32 or 64 GB) and supports just about any wireless conection, internet or otherwise, that you could think of.  OH!  It also has an accelerometer!  You know what that means, right? RACING GAMES!  Holy shit they are fun.  The graphics aren’t even that bad.  But shit, those racing games are fun. I love cars.  Let’s see..what else.  It’s half an inch thick and weighs under two pounds.  The battery life is okay too.  It will last around 10 hours while browsing the internet, watching videos or listening to some crunchy tunes.  Standby time is reportedly holding up for a month.  Ya know, just in case you want to leave your iPad on for a month without using it.  THAT sounds fun.

Well that is the end of the riveting tale of the iMac, the iPhone and the wardrobe.  I mean iPad.  Whatever.  Enter the contest already.  Scroll back up and click my pictures.

Check back soon for more Free Student Stuff.  I promise there won’t be girly stuff next time.  For now, enjoy Tickle Cat.  Isn’t it cute?  Read on for additional information about Victoria’s Secret and gift cards.

Additional Information

A few tips and some general information and history about Victoria’s Secret.

*The more you know!*

To check your Victoria’s Secret gift card balance please call 1-800-270-8999

Let’s learn some more stuff about underwear!

Victoria’s Secret is the largest purveyor of womens underwear and lingerie in the universe.  No, but seriously, it’s huge.  They trade in the Limited brand with sales totaling over $5 billion and an income of $1 billion in 2006.  Holy crap.  That’s a lot of underwear.  Not as much as you might think though.  Some of their stuff can be pretty expensive.  Why do you think guys hate going there?  You’re paying for the brand name.

Anywho, Victoria’s Secret also has an annual fashion show for its catalogs.  Some of the most famous models in all the land are in this.  Damned if I know their names, though.

A brief history of briefs.  Get it?

Victoria’s Secret was created in San Francisco, California, in 1977.  It was started by a man named Roy Raymond.  Blame him for the overpriced-ness.  Want to know the kicker?  The reason he started it was because he embarrassed when he went to buy lingerie for his wife.  Freakin’ lols.

The first one ever was opened at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto.  The famous Victoria’s Secret catalog was soon to follow along with a plethora of stores.  But get this, the stores were originally designed for men.  Seriously.  They were nothing like the stores you see today.  Go figure.

Fast forward five years and Roy Raymond is already making millions from this.  Over the next 15 years there is rampant expansion.  More underwear is made.  Women of America rejoice.  By the 90′s, Victoria’s Secret is the biggest American lingerie retailer.  They begin to have incomes that top a billion dollars.  That is a mind boggling amount of underwear.

Trends come and go.  The PINK campaign is launched targeting a younger auidence.  It is stupidly successful.  This is one campaign I absolutely don’t get.  How do you make money on a bunch of clothes that say PINK on them and aren’t even pink?  Is that supposed to be clever?  Whatever.  I’m not here to judge, just giving you some facts.  You can get a lot of underwear with this gift card, yo.

Not one but TWO iPod touches for the price of zero!

Who doesn’t love an iPod.  Everybody loves iPods, who am I kidding?  I do too.  I have one.  Not one of these fancy shmancy ones with cameras in them, however.  But it does music and games and stuff.  And it’s jailbroken too.  Seriously, when you your iPod (or iPhone), jailbreak that sucker.  It’s frickin’ awesome.  Everything is free, it can sing, dance, cook your food and even drive your car if you attach them to your hands and feet!

Tastes good and is good for you!  Also, surprisingly legal!

Anywho, this offer is for a chance to win a couple of iPod Touches.  Who could have guessed?  Better get on this iPod train while you can.   Choo choo!  To get started, click on the picture of the lovely couple having FaceTime™ – Brought to you by Apple.  Enter your zip code and click continue.  Fill out the form on the next page accurately.  After you’re finished, click the button that says “Click Here to Submit When Finished” to submit.  Now read the previous sentence aloud three times fast.  Haw!  Congratulations!  You are now entered in the contest!  You may have to participate further to get your free iPod Touches.  Check the contest page for further details.

Now you just sit and back and stare at your email inbox for a few months to see if you win!  Remember to jailbreak!

Additional Information

iPod Touch – 4th Gen

Overview 

So here we are at the 4th generation of iPod touches.  What does this mean?  It means they took an iPhone 4 and took out the phone.  That’s why it’s only a little cheaper.

So what else is it missing?  Well you have no 3G or EDGE capability, no GPS, no compass and a lower quality rear camera with no flash.  But other than THAT..it’s okay.  So I guess it’s more like they took an iPhone , threw it on the ground and stomped on it.  Voila!  An iPod Touch!

So yeah, other than missing a ton of cool stuff, it’s pretty similar to the iPhone 4.  It has a 3.5 inch screen with a resolution of 960×640.  It also comes with FaceTime (oooooh ahhhhhh!) so you can make video calls.  Not phone calls.  Video calls.  HUGE difference.  I can’t tell if Apple is just screwing with us now.  But since you can only call Apple IDs or email addresses, I’d just go with screwing instead of screwing with.  It also comes with iMovie editing support (oh joy, let’s edit movies on a 3.5 inch screen, THAT sounds easy), the ever popular-for-gaming gyroscope and can record 720P HD video with it’s inferior camera!  Rejoice!

At the heart of this dealio is the popular Apple A4 processor.  It comes with half the RAM as an iPhone 4 (256MB).  Storage comes in either 8, 32 or 64 GB of space.  Which can actually be larger than the iPhone 4.  Fuck yeah!  Score one for the iPod Touch!  The battery lasts for about 40 hours on music playback and only 7 for video playback.  So don’t be watching too many movies, I guess.  You’d think they would make these last long enough for a roadtrip or something.

So there you have it.  Scroll back up and click my stuff to WIN WIN WIN!

It’s time to kick ass and chew bubblegum

And I’m all out of ass.  Or whatever.  Who wants to win a free Xbox 360?  No?  Okay, who wants to win a free PlayStation 3?  I thought so. Who doesn’t?  The PlayStation 3 is superior to the 360.  Two words..blu ray.  But hey, to each their own.  If you want to throw your contest entry away on a 360, go ahead.  I’m not here to judge you.  Or am I?

Maybe I am..

Who knows?  You won’t.  Anyway, this is for an entry to a contest that can net you either a free Xbox 360 or a free PlayStation 3.  It also comes with a free copy of Duke Nukem Forever.  Hooray!  As an Xbox 360 owner, I recommend the PlayStation 3.  Unless you want to play on PSN.  In that case, haxors may steal your life.  But at least you can play with other people, right?

So here’s how to enter.  Click one of the pictures above that say ‘Click here’.  Put in your email and click continue.  Fill out the form on the next page after that, click continue again and ta-da!  You are now entered in the contest.  You will be contacted if you win.  You may have to participate further to get your free Xbox 360 or PS3.  Check the contest page for further details.  Now just sit back, relax and dream of a world with free PlayStation 3′s and Xbox 360′s.  Aw yeah.

Product Information

Xbox 360 Slim

Features Overview

• Backward Compatible – Well, no shit.  Of course your games will be backward compatible.  It’s still a 360.  It’s not THAT different.  But yeah, whatever.  All your Xbox and Xbox 360 games will work.   But for some reason 360 external hard drives and memory units aren’t compatible.  So I’m not sure why they say it’s backward compatible.  Only part of it is.  Oh well.
• Whisper Quiet – Ooh.  It’s quiet now!  I believe when it was released the Microsoft exec called it ‘Quiet as a PS3′.  Not sure if that was good phrasing for them or not.  But either way, you won’t be hearing your system implode with the force of 1000 suns.  It’s as quiet as a church mouse.  Maybe two church mice.
• Wi-Fi – Yep.  It has Wi-Fi.  Like everything else these days.  Having Wi-Fi is barely even a feature anymore.  It’s product suicide if you release something that doesn’t have Wi-Fi support.
• Hard Drive – It has a hard drive.  This goes along with Wi-Fi.  Of COURSE it has a hard drive.  How is this a feature?  The only feature is the size of the hard drive.  250 GB.  And it is swappable.  Because 250 GB will obviously get filled up pretty quick if you have any respectable amount of games.  Or if you have a cracked 360.  I’d go with the cracked version.
• Touch Sensitive – Ooooooh.  The on/off button is touch sensitive now!  No more will you have to live in the days of PUSHING a button!  Now all your have to do is touch it!  THIS IS THE FUTURE!
• Kinect Port – No more using silly Kinect adapters for you, oh ho ho.  This baby comes fully equipped with a specialized super ultra  custom Kinect port.  Now dance!  DANCE!  DANCE INTO THE FUTURE!
• USB Slots – This one is actually really nice.  Five total USB ports.  Three of them in the back and two in the front.  Talk about expandability, right?
• Power Supply – Oh sweet jesus thank you.  They finally made that monstrosity of a brick quite a bit smaller.  And it even runs more efficiently.  Smaller AND better?  This really IS the future.  The power supply is not backward compatible.  Not that you’d want to use the old big-ass brick anyway.
• Wireless Controllers – Uhhh..yep.  This hasn’t changed.  At all.  I don’t see why they advertise it like it’s new.  It’s the controller.  It’s wireless.  Like they have been the whole time.  I guess this one is all black and pretty and stuff too.  They call it glossy.  Whatever.

PlayStation 3

Features Overview 

• Hundreds of popular titles - PlayStation has a monopoly on some of the most popular gaming titles.  SOCOM, Gran Turismo and God of War are a few examples.  The list goes on.  It grows daily.  It learns.  It is self-aware.  PlayStation is Skynet.
• PlayStation Network – Here’s a major selling point.  The PlayStation Network!  Hopefully your credit cards aren’t stolen!  Good work Sony.  Really top notch job on security.  But when the PSN is not being hacked, it provides a place to access free demos, TV and movies, DLC, add-ons, mods and of course, the most important thing in online gaming…Trophies!  Trophies is the PlayStation equivalent of a gamerscore.  Basically it quantifies about how much of a life you may or may not have.  Who wouldn’t want that?
• Next generation hardware – The brain behind the magic is what Sony calls the Cell Broadband Engine.  Sounds like a shitty dial-up internet service to me.  But it’s their pride and joy.  It’s the processor that allows the PS3 to reach unbelievably fast speeds.  This let’s you experience mind-blowing visuals at mind-blowing speeds.  It’s almost as if you’re tripping on acid.  Seriously.  In addition to all this, the PS3 comes fully loaded with a Blu-ray player and a hard drive that is expandable up to 320 GB.  Wow.  That is actually really awesome.  Score 1 for PS3.  Did I mention Bluetooth capability?  Okay, I just did.
• Multimedia – Just like other major consoles, you can store music, videos and photos on your PS3.  Unlike other major consoles, the PS3 also has the option to make EVERYTHING IN 3D!  Holy fuck.  3D HD gaming is at your fingertips.  Of course, you need a super cheap 3D TV to be able to do this.  I believe Sony makes many of these.  Coincidence?
• Connectivity - It’s rather absurd the amount of things that you can interface with the PS3.  You can connect your PSP (who knows why?), stream Netflix, Hulu, NFL Sunday Ticket, MLB.TV, and other less impressive things.  There’s an internet browser too.  Just in case you’re too lazy to get off the couch and walk to your computer.  Or open a laptop.

So there we have it.  Duke Nukem and two sweet-as-puddin’-pops consoles.  Go for the PS3.  It’s way coolerer.  If you want to enter the contest then click stuff back up there.  The stuff that says click here.  Yeah that stuff.  Up there.
