Conceited Software launches Clips, and we got 5 free copies! Who wants one?
[WE HAVE OUR WINNERS! CONGRATS TO: Jonathan, Kelsey, Adam, Kaupo, and Courtney]
If there’s one thing we know about our readers, it’s that you are a bunch of grubby degenerates, ravenous for free stuff. Well, never let it be said that Macenstein does not cater to our audience!
Conceited Software just launched Clips, their new super cool clipboard app, and to celebrate, they gave us 5 free copies to give away. “Super cool CLIPBOARD app?”, you ask. Yeah, we were surprised too, but after playing with it a bit, we stand by those adjectives.
Clips takes the idea of the Clipboard and applies virtually every cool aspect of Leopard to it. Spaces, Dashboard, Time Machine… it’s pretty insane. Clips lets you flag clips (like flagging Mail messages), supports live search and drag and drop, and even allows for sharing clipboards between multiple computers. You sort of have to see it in action to appreciate it, which is why you should check out this movie Conceited Software made showcasing some of the eye candy Clips is capable of (or better yet, download their free trial and take it for a spin yourself).
So how do you win a copy?
Well, knowing how sadistic we can be with our contests, Conceited Software left it up to us to decide how to choose our 5 winners. Therefore, in order to win you will have to decipher a series of increasingly harder riddles that when pieced together…
….aww hell, just leave us a comment and we’ll pick 5 random winners. Be sure to include your e-mail address. Good luck. (Contest ends Sunday night at midnight PST - 1 entry per person – yes, we’ll check).

Yay for free stuff!
Can I still win if I don’t have a mac yet? Come on October 15th!!!
Interesting concept - I’d love to give it a try
I’m random!
I want one. I really want to win a contest some time in my life.
I will get in line for the free stuff. Keep up the good work!
Im in cant hurt can it.
insert random comment here for my zero chance of win…
What an awesome looking utility.
i want it
I’d take one. Looks pretty cool.
I’m more random than Jeraimee…
This is cool.
Love me some free programs to fill up my new iMac. And I’d love to add another!
I’m a winner!
/Ralph
This looks awesome!
Here’s putting a chance on random! Go lady luck!
I want it too!
Looks nice, although a little flashy for what it does…
would love to get a copy for free
I don’t want to win, don’t pick me.
This looks really cool. It’s amazing how Mac developers get right into the UI and try to make it look like that of the Mac OS, while PC developers try to make their own UI and color scheme to make their software unique.
just give’m away and get to posting a mid month mac chick.
you know i want it
If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn?
(Hopefully that made you think enough to make me stand out and bias your ‘random’ decision.)
I’ve deciphered all the riddles but forgotten all the answers. Clips probably could help me retrieve the cuttings and pastings that went into their solution. Or doesn’t it work for clipboards from before it’s installed? May I give it a try, please?
Okay, that looks pretty cool.
Yo quiero una copia… I want one…. je veux un…eu quero um
I’m random too…
I can haz Clips?
I’m downloading the trial now. Looks pretty sweet.
you know i need it
This looks like the poo! Me want!
I just got a 24inch Imac and the screen is absolutely beautiful. Clips looks like it would be a fantastic addition to an already incredible display.
Looks very cool. If I don’t win a copy I’ll probably buy it.
Forget those random posers above, I’m the most randomest guy around. It’s true, just ask the first person you see on the street … they’ll confirm it.
Looks pretty cool.
Comment.
Looks good. I’d like a copy.
It really is super cool!
Sweet… come on just this once doc? Ok… and maybe a few times after but this can be a start…
Sounds cool. Count me in.
I’d love one!
Oooh oooh pick me!
Her damit. Kommt schon ich bin zufällig.
Oooh oooh oooh pick me pick me!!
Let me win, pleeeease, I never win anything!!!
From what I can tell so far, Clips is a beautiful tool in the finest Mac tradition. On the surface, it provides a basic improvement to an aspect of our digital life that we use every day. Not content to do it in a purely utilitarian way, it wraps the experience in slick animations that help new users to understand what it does, and hint at additional power hidden just a click away. It works well for both mouse- and keyboard-centric users (not to mention artists that work with a pen and tablet!), and it gets better the more you use it and discover its advanced capabilities. Like Quicksilver, I could see this becoming one of the must-have apps that I will install on every Mac that I sit down to use for the first time.
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Free copy please. This looks awesome!
Looks like a very intriguing approach…I’m in!
Prolapsed rectum or free software? I’ll take the latter please.
I’m in too! This thing really sounds as if it could help me organize my stuff a litttttle bit better - which would be a HUGE improvement!
clipboards between multiple computers… now that’s a feature i’ll have tons of use for
I’m assuming this is open to non-Americans right?
My randomness eclipses all other randomnesses.
So sayeth someone random.
Yeah, I’d love a super cool clipboard app to replace my current somewhat good but not quite there clipboard app. It actually does look rather spiffy…
If I pull my right index finger I need to sneeze, if I pull my left index finger I need to cough and falling down the stairs is painful!!!!!
Mmm free software, tasty :).
FREEAOLIC!
That’s what she said!
I’m in.
It looks like a cool app. If it is by conceited it must be good.
Yeah, good luck to me.
Very cool
I never win anything but hell, if I don’t try, I would know the result in advance
OK, this has to be best interface for a clipboard manager….and finally there’s way to share between systems. Cool.
Sign me up and hand it over!
Ok, lets just give it a try. Never won something, never tried to win something. Nevertheless I’d love to say hi to all Macensteiners out there, and so I use this comment not only to win a piece of legal software, but also to send all my love from a dark, cold, rainy and depressing Netherlands (you know, the country that hosts Amsterdam).
For now I’ll just join Macenstein during our wait for the 2.1 firmware… (And it’s allready 01.11pm overhere….)
Cheers!
Even though I may end up inadvertently disqualifying myself, I want to win for all of us Québec Canadians who are never allowed to be included in contests. Again I’m hoping that I did not miss some contest rules that might disqualify me based on the above geography.
This looks pretty cool
This looks great! I would like a copy!
Want!
Whoo, neat program, send it my way.
looks very funky!!
about:bland
Awesome
If it’s free, why not give it a try?
Hmm. Looks nifty. Wonder if this thing actually works better than iClip.
Clip me…
Looks pretty sweet. I’m in!
I want one! Please!
Love cool software, love free software and love Mac.
So a cool Mac software for free? Love it thrice!!!
About two weeks ago, I switched from Win Xp to Mac and it’s cool… Perhaps with this little tool its gonna be insane?
My wife is bugged out by not having multiple clipboards in Word 2008 - looks like this will solve the problem. Thanks!
Looks interesting, I’ll definitely check it out. Especially if I win a free copy!
spoon
Please Dr. M.
Send a copy to brazil…. i’ll make good use of this little devil!
I like it.
Cool! Super Cool!
Faithful Macenstein reader brnmbrns posts a comment in the comments section.
I want it. I need it. I’ll use it.
Let’s see here . . . 88 comments so far . . . 5 copies . . . that means I have about a 5.7% chance of winning one. Here’s hoping I get lucky!
I am guessing there are young people who read “Macenstein.” Why are you teaching them that using cuss word is OK?
Well, your chances (and mine also) have just decreased to 5.5%.
I want, I want, I want!
me too!
Pick me!! ![]()
Long time reader, first time commenting…
I wonder if the Doc reads the comments for contests/giveaways like this one? Either way, I <3 Macenstein.
figure give it a shot
love this site, btw
Give it to me! FREE STUFF!!! DAAAHHH!!!!
I should get a copy, ‘coz I’m from DENMARK!
‘nods importantly*
Gimme, gimme!
Great Software
Great Price
I’m In!
I’m amazing and from the UK so I think I should win!
Wee ha!
Pick me!
Of course anything leopard is cool. I wish more apps integrated the OSX capabilities. Ok, be sure to check out my site: MonthsForever.wordpress.com
yes go macenstein
viva mexico!!!!
That looks like a very cool app, I like the multiple clip, drag-and-drop business going on. I’d be honored to win a copy.
I would love to get a copy! Thank you!
i win!
I’m in, too. Looks cool.
I’ve been looking for an absolutely ALL AROUND clipboard that works with all my apps, images, text etc; and this looks like it might just be it. Please ……I’ll take one!!! (smile)
Random, huh? I have about as much luck as everyone else in this forum it appears. Would it help if I promise to write up an extensive review/critique/praise for Clips if I win a free copy…
Free Stuff, yes!!!
i want! this app looks so sexy
Cool app, I’d like to see something like this for file/document navigation.
Looks Cool
good golly that IS super cool!
sign me up, free is my favorite price.
that’s so freaking cool! I want it! 8D
I’ll try too…
We always LOVE free stuff!!!!
What a great app!!!
You should send me a copy… because… because… lets face it… you’ve never sent a prize to Cambodia…. It could be a first for you and you know… i’ll have clips.
mmmm, pasty..
Having used Linkinus, I know that Clips will be great! Sign me up for the drawing!
Very cool app, very uncool price.
Cool software!
Can you give out 5 free Mac Chicks next?
This is so cool…hopefully I’ll win one of these 5…!!
Looks nice. I definitely like to have a copy.
This app doesn’t look bad (and I can always afford free if I win).
pick me! pick me!
Great application. Works like a charm.
Hope I win!
*crossing fingers*
It looks great!
WooHoo! Tried it, works grrreattt…
Gimme on of those….plz!
Who doesn’t love a freebie?!?
This is so MAC! You just would not get something like this on that other OS. Well done to the guys who created this.
It’s good to see the guys behind Linkinus bringing something new to the Mac. Hopefully it’s just as good!
woot.
I’d clip that!
Actually, I would prefer a series of increasingly harder riddles. I never have any luck with being picked at random.
Anyway…
I really like the idea behind this app and I may find it useful. Combining multiple clipboards with the power of Leopard may be just what the doctor ordered. I have always found multiple clipboards lacking, but this seems to be actually productive.
well, would like to win something
I’d like to win a copy!
Really a stunning programm…best greetings from germany!
Clip me please, nice app!
Yes. I may today.
Looks pretty neat… I’ll enter to try and win a copy!
This looks like a great tool! I’d love to win a free copy
Five winners? I like those odds!
I just got my first mac in July and promptly became a Macenstein reader. I am loving the Mac and can’t see a reason to go back to a PC.
Any free software that makes my Mac cooler then my friends PC’s would just rock.
How soon will we now the winners?
Looks cool
sounds like a really cool
can i still join??
Me too… please. Just discovered your site, hopefully not too late.
I want one
or am I too late?
I was just saying two days ago, “I wish I had a clipboard that stored multiple copies”. Today my wishes came true! Thanks for the great release.
cool. free? cool!
say, my middle name is “free,’ i feel like a winner already!
I hope I win …
Tell me what you're thinking...
and oh, if you want a pic to show with your comment, go get a gravatar!
