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).

Every time you submit our site, an Angel gets its wings.

  10. Jonathan on Thu, 11th Sep 2008 11:59 pm

  11. Jordan Satok on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 12:00 am

    12. I’d take one. Looks pretty cool.

  12. Paul R Pival on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 12:07 am

    13. I’m more random than Jeraimee…

  13. Hartlink on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 12:13 am

    14. This is cool. :)

  14. carrar on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 12:16 am

    15. Love me some free programs to fill up my new iMac. And I’d love to add another!

  15. MBK on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 12:18 am

  16. Kurt on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 12:18 am

    17. This looks awesome!

  17. Alan B on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 12:19 am

    18. Here’s putting a chance on random! Go lady luck!

  18. Danny Tang on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 12:20 am

    19. I want it too!

  19. Stu on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 12:25 am

    20. Looks nice, although a little flashy for what it does…

  20. William Li on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 12:30 am

    21. would love to get a copy for free :)

  21. Jeremy on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 12:37 am

    22. I don’t want to win, don’t pick me.

  22. William M on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 12:42 am

    23. 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.

  23. jon tomilson on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 12:48 am

    24. just give’m away and get to posting a mid month mac chick.

  24. conrad on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 12:48 am

    25. you know i want it

  25. Ahmad on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 12:51 am

    26. 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.)

  26. David Miller on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 12:52 am

    27. 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?

  27. Kevin on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 12:56 am

    28. Okay, that looks pretty cool.

  28. Alonso on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 1:00 am

    29. Yo quiero una copia… I want one…. je veux un…eu quero um

    I’m random too…

  29. Alex on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 1:04 am

    30. I can haz Clips?

    I’m downloading the trial now. Looks pretty sweet.

  30. conrad on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 1:19 am

    31. you know i need it

  31. JD on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 1:29 am

    32. This looks like the poo! Me want!

  32. Tom on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 1:38 am

    33. 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.

  33. Michael Vaughn on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 1:39 am

    34. Looks very cool. If I don’t win a copy I’ll probably buy it.

  34. Michael on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 1:45 am

    35. 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.

  35. odin on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 1:58 am

    36. Looks pretty cool.

  36. Frank on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 2:18 am

    39. It really is super cool!

  39. David E. on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 2:32 am

    40. Sweet… come on just this once doc? Ok… and maybe a few times after but this can be a start… :-D

  40. Chris Parker on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 2:37 am

    41. Sounds cool. Count me in.

  45. Jocke on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 2:58 am

    46. Let me win, pleeeease, I never win anything!!!

  46. Kevin Yank on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 3:23 am

    47. 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.

  47. MacSheikh on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 3:24 am

    48. Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  50. Matthew on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 3:40 am

    51. Prolapsed rectum or free software? I’ll take the latter please.

  51. zippi on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 3:46 am

    52. 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!

  52. RJ on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 3:54 am

    53. clipboards between multiple computers… now that’s a feature i’ll have tons of use for

  53. - Jie - on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 3:57 am

    54. I’m assuming this is open to non-Americans right?

  54. Jason on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 4:07 am

    55. My randomness eclipses all other randomnesses.

    So sayeth someone random.

  55. Rune on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 4:52 am

    56. 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…

  56. Double U on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 4:54 am

    57. 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!!!!!

  57. Slacker on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 5:09 am

    58. Mmm free software, tasty :).

    62. It looks like a cool app. If it is by conceited it must be good.

  62. telp on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 6:48 am

  63. Gremlins on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 6:51 am

    64. I never win anything but hell, if I don’t try, I would know the result in advance :)

  64. Michael on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 6:55 am

    65. 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! :)

  65. MichMich on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 7:11 am

    66. 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!

  66. Gareth on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 7:36 am

    67. 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.

  67. Men_in_Black on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 7:48 am

    68. This looks pretty cool

  74. Jeremy on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 9:17 am

    75. If it’s free, why not give it a try?

  75. Jess on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 9:21 am

    76. Hmm. Looks nifty. Wonder if this thing actually works better than iClip.

  80. Fabian on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 10:01 am

    81. About two weeks ago, I switched from Win Xp to Mac and it’s cool… Perhaps with this little tool its gonna be insane?

  81. jvcd on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 10:02 am

    82. My wife is bugged out by not having multiple clipboards in Word 2008 - looks like this will solve the problem. Thanks!

  90. John Dickey on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 11:44 am

    91. I am guessing there are young people who read “Macenstein.” Why are you teaching them that using cuss word is OK?

  91. Eric Santos on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 11:48 am

    92. Well, your chances (and mine also) have just decreased to 5.5%.

  92. Wickedgood on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 11:51 am

  112. Dave on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 6:56 pm

    113. 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…

  113. Michael on Fri, 12th Sep 2008 7:22 pm

  122. Sam on Sat, 13th Sep 2008 2:27 am

  123. Rory on Sat, 13th Sep 2008 2:42 am

    137. This is so MAC! You just would not get something like this on that other OS. Well done to the guys who created this.

  137. Ryan on Sat, 13th Sep 2008 10:48 pm

    138. It’s good to see the guys behind Linkinus bringing something new to the Mac. Hopefully it’s just as good!

  138. Adam on Sun, 14th Sep 2008 1:06 am

    139. woot.

    141. 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.

    150. 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.
