Well, we’ve gone through all your brilliant submissions for our What Should Steve Jobs name his Autobiography contest, and we’ve narrowed it down to what we feel are the 10 best choices. Now, normally our egos would demand that we pick the winning entry, but for once we’re actually going to pretend we care about what YOU think, and let YOU decide the winning name! So pick your favorite from the list below, and please be sure to make your choice carefully, as Steve Jobs is legally bound to go with the winning entry. (Poll closes Mach 21st).

Enter our “What Will Steve Call His Book?” Sweepstakes!

With news that the notoriously private Steve Steve jobs has hired former managing editor of Time magazine Walter Isaacson to write his official autobiography, one can only wonder what Steve’s masterpiece will be titled. Will it be something cutesy, with an “i” in the front, like “iLife”, or “iAm So Rich”? Or something more obvious like “Why I’m so Awesome” or “I Will Eat Google’s Lunch”?

(Whatever it’s called, odds are the book will physically LOOK better than other CEO autobiographies and cost roughly 50% more.)

While one can never guess what Steve will do next, we’ve decided to let YOU try to help him out by coming up with the ultimate title for his book. Leave us a comment with your best ideas, funny or serious. We’ll pick our top 5 or 10 entries and put it them up for a reader poll. Enter as often as you’d like. Winner will receive a $50 iTunes gift certificate. The contest is open to everyone in the US (sorry, iTunes won’t let us buy gift certificates to non-US accounts), and runs until Friday (March 5th) at 11:59PM EST.

Yes, it’s hard to believe, but we’ve finally cleaned out the prize closet in our “12 Days After Christmas” giveaway – a full 43 days after Christmas. (If you haven’t yet, there’s still time to enter a couple of the contests).

Congrats to the winners, our heartfelt thanks to the sponsors who so generously donated their wares, and our condolences to all of you who lost, day in and day out, time and again. It must really suck to be you.

But hey, if you didn’t win, don’t despair, I’m sure we’ll have another contest sooner than you can say “Valentine’s Day”.
