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!
September 11th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
Can I still win if I don’t have a mac yet? Come on October 15th!!!
September 11th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
Interesting concept - I’d love to give it a try
September 11th, 2008 at 11:48 pm
I’m random!
September 11th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
I want one. I really want to win a contest some time in my life.
September 11th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
I will get in line for the free stuff. Keep up the good work!
September 11th, 2008 at 11:53 pm
Im in cant hurt can it.
September 11th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
insert random comment here for my zero chance of win…
September 11th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
What an awesome looking utility.
September 11th, 2008 at 11:59 pm
i want it
September 12th, 2008 at 12:00 am
I’d take one. Looks pretty cool.
September 12th, 2008 at 12:07 am
I’m more random than Jeraimee…
September 12th, 2008 at 12:13 am
This is cool.
September 12th, 2008 at 12:16 am
Love me some free programs to fill up my new iMac. And I’d love to add another!
September 12th, 2008 at 12:18 am
I’m a winner!

September 12th, 2008 at 12:18 am
This looks awesome!
September 12th, 2008 at 12:19 am
Here’s putting a chance on random! Go lady luck!
September 12th, 2008 at 12:20 am
I want it too!
September 12th, 2008 at 12:25 am
Looks nice, although a little flashy for what it does…
September 12th, 2008 at 12:30 am
would love to get a copy for free
September 12th, 2008 at 12:37 am
I don’t want to win, don’t pick me.
September 12th, 2008 at 12:42 am
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.
September 12th, 2008 at 12:48 am
just give’m away and get to posting a mid month mac chick.
September 12th, 2008 at 12:48 am
you know i want it
September 12th, 2008 at 12:51 am
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.)
September 12th, 2008 at 12:52 am
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?
September 12th, 2008 at 12:56 am
Okay, that looks pretty cool.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:00 am
Yo quiero una copia… I want one…. je veux un…eu quero um
I’m random too…
September 12th, 2008 at 1:04 am
I can haz Clips?
I’m downloading the trial now. Looks pretty sweet.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:19 am
you know i need it
September 12th, 2008 at 1:29 am
This looks like the poo! Me want!
September 12th, 2008 at 1:38 am
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.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:39 am
Looks very cool. If I don’t win a copy I’ll probably buy it.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:45 am
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.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:58 am
Looks pretty cool.
September 12th, 2008 at 2:18 am
Comment.
September 12th, 2008 at 2:21 am
Looks good. I’d like a copy.
September 12th, 2008 at 2:32 am
It really is super cool!
September 12th, 2008 at 2:32 am
Sweet… come on just this once doc? Ok… and maybe a few times after but this can be a start…
September 12th, 2008 at 2:37 am
Sounds cool. Count me in.
September 12th, 2008 at 2:38 am
I’d love one!
September 12th, 2008 at 2:54 am
Oooh oooh pick me!
September 12th, 2008 at 2:54 am
Her damit. Kommt schon ich bin zufällig.
September 12th, 2008 at 2:56 am
Oooh oooh oooh pick me pick me!!
September 12th, 2008 at 2:58 am
Let me win, pleeeease, I never win anything!!!
September 12th, 2008 at 3:23 am
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.
September 12th, 2008 at 3:24 am
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
September 12th, 2008 at 3:25 am
Free copy please. This looks awesome!
September 12th, 2008 at 3:28 am
Looks like a very intriguing approach…I’m in!
September 12th, 2008 at 3:40 am
Prolapsed rectum or free software? I’ll take the latter please.
September 12th, 2008 at 3:46 am
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!
September 12th, 2008 at 3:54 am
clipboards between multiple computers… now that’s a feature i’ll have tons of use for
September 12th, 2008 at 3:57 am
I’m assuming this is open to non-Americans right?
September 12th, 2008 at 4:07 am
My randomness eclipses all other randomnesses.
So sayeth someone random.
September 12th, 2008 at 4:52 am
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…
September 12th, 2008 at 4:54 am
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!!!!!
September 12th, 2008 at 5:09 am
Mmm free software, tasty :).
September 12th, 2008 at 5:38 am
FREEAOLIC!
September 12th, 2008 at 5:39 am
That’s what she said!
September 12th, 2008 at 6:34 am
I’m in.
September 12th, 2008 at 6:43 am
It looks like a cool app. If it is by conceited it must be good.
Yeah, good luck to me.
September 12th, 2008 at 6:48 am
Very cool
September 12th, 2008 at 6:51 am
I never win anything but hell, if I don’t try, I would know the result in advance
September 12th, 2008 at 6:55 am
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!
September 12th, 2008 at 7:11 am
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!
September 12th, 2008 at 7:36 am
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.
September 12th, 2008 at 7:48 am
This looks pretty cool
September 12th, 2008 at 8:22 am
This looks great! I would like a copy!
September 12th, 2008 at 8:24 am
Want!
September 12th, 2008 at 8:59 am
Whoo, neat program, send it my way.
September 12th, 2008 at 8:59 am
looks very funky!!

September 12th, 2008 at 9:02 am
Awesome
September 12th, 2008 at 9:17 am
If it’s free, why not give it a try?
September 12th, 2008 at 9:21 am
Hmm. Looks nifty. Wonder if this thing actually works better than iClip.
September 12th, 2008 at 9:22 am
Clip me…
September 12th, 2008 at 9:38 am
Looks pretty sweet. I’m in!
September 12th, 2008 at 9:40 am
I want one! Please!
September 12th, 2008 at 9:53 am
Love cool software, love free software and love Mac.
So a cool Mac software for free? Love it thrice!!!
September 12th, 2008 at 10:01 am
About two weeks ago, I switched from Win Xp to Mac and it’s cool… Perhaps with this little tool its gonna be insane?
September 12th, 2008 at 10:02 am
My wife is bugged out by not having multiple clipboards in Word 2008 - looks like this will solve the problem. Thanks!
September 12th, 2008 at 10:05 am
Looks interesting, I’ll definitely check it out. Especially if I win a free copy!

Faithful Macenstein reader brnmbrns posts a comment in the comments section.
September 12th, 2008 at 11:22 am
I want it. I need it. I’ll use it.
September 12th, 2008 at 11:24 am
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!
September 12th, 2008 at 11:44 am
I am guessing there are young people who read “Macenstein.” Why are you teaching them that using cuss word is OK?
September 12th, 2008 at 11:48 am
Well, your chances (and mine also) have just decreased to 5.5%.
September 12th, 2008 at 11:51 am
I want, I want, I want!
September 12th, 2008 at 12:30 pm

Long time reader, first time commenting…
September 12th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
I wonder if the Doc reads the comments for contests/giveaways like this one? Either way, I <3 Macenstein.
