Conceited Software launches Clips, and we got 5 free copies! Who wants one?

September 11th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

[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).

  11. Jordan Satok Says:

    I’d take one. Looks pretty cool.

  12. Paul R Pival Says:

  13. Hartlink Says:

    This is cool. :)

  18. Danny Tang Says:

    I want it too!

  19. Stu Says:

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

  20. William Li Says:

    would love to get a copy for free :)

  21. Jeremy Says:

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

  22. William M Says:

    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 Says:

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

  24. conrad Says:

    you know i want it

  25. Ahmad Says:

    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 Says:

    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 Says:

    Okay, that looks pretty cool.

  28. Alonso Says:

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

    I’m random too…

  29. Alex Says:

    I can haz Clips?

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

  30. conrad Says:

    you know i need it

  31. JD Says:

    This looks like the poo! Me want!

  32. Tom Says:

    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 Says:

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

  34. Michael Says:

    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 Says:

    Looks pretty cool.

  36. Frank Says:

    Comment.

  37. Eric M Says:

    Looks good. I’d like a copy.

  38. Peter! Says:

    It really is super cool!

  39. David E. Says:

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

  40. Chris Parker Says:

    Sounds cool. Count me in.

  41. Ignatius Says:

    I’d love one!

  42. Jason Says:

    Oooh oooh pick me!

  43. The German Says:

    Her damit. Kommt schon ich bin zufällig.

  44. Bob Says:

    Oooh oooh oooh pick me pick me!! :-D

  45. Jocke Says:

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

  46. Kevin Yank Says:

    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 Says:

    Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  48. Court Says:

  49. Ryan Powell Says:

    Looks like a very intriguing approach…I’m in!

  50. Matthew Says:

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

  51. zippi Says:

    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 Says:

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

  53. - Jie - Says:

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

  54. Jason Says:

    My randomness eclipses all other randomnesses.

    So sayeth someone random.

  55. Rune Says:

    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 Says:

    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 Says:

    Mmm free software, tasty :).

  58. applex07 Says:

  61. Phoenix.stu Says:

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

    Yeah, good luck to me. :)

  62. telp Says:

    Very cool

  63. Gremlins Says:

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

  64. Michael Says:

    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 Says:

    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 Says:

    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.

    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 Says:

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

    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!

  90. John Dickey Says:

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

  91. Eric Santos Says:

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