  1. Shouldn’t the chip text be blurred out (And the copyright mask on the upper left of the board?)


  3. I wanted to make it a bit easier this week so there is no blurring this time…


  4. Is that just a caddy or is a drive included?


  5. it’s just the caddy…


  6. well even with the things not blurried it took me quite some time to figure it out…wouldnt be able to find it I think if it was blurried…


  7. All of those doubled-up pins on the left chip is a good hint of what it may do…


  8. anychance of giving the thing out as a prize instead? 😛


  9. Alan;

    The Contest is called “Name the Thing”, but the picture is named “_guess_the_price_3_1.JPG”; are we supposed name it, or guess the price of it?

    >any chance of giving the thing out as a prize instead?

    I agree, I’d much rather have the thing than the prize.

    Good Luck!

  10. Giving away the item to guess is an interesting idea. I will consider that in the future.


  11. Good eye there Almost. The image was going to be used in a guess the price (combined price of many items). But it was instead used as a name the thing contest.


  12. *** controlled *** *** ***.


  13. Hi Mark,

  14. That’s a cool enclosure to put in an SDHC to IDE adapter and make a Portable USB SSD.


  15. i never win… can anyone vouche that this is a legitimate contest?


  16. I have won a few of them.


  17. I’ve never won (yet), and who won this one anyway?


  19. Ethan,
