THANK YOU, THE CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[UPDATE: OK, we’re going to open this up to all our readers world-wide. Thanks to all our international readers for being so annoying. – The Doc]
This time of year, one’s thoughts naturally turn towards giving thanks for all the blessings in one’s lives, and there can be no doubt that Macenstein is truly the biggest blessing of all. To that end, we, in conjunction with the good folks over at Seagate, have come up with a way that you can not only win some kick ass drives for all your Time Machine backup needs, but kiss our ass at the same time!
Seagate was nice enough to give us both a FreeAgent Desk for Mac 1TB drive and a 500GB FreeAgent Go for Mac portable drive to give away to one lucky reader (that’s right, you get BOTH). All you have to do is leave a comment below telling us why you are thankful for Macenstein. We will pick a winner at random from all comments. One entry per person please. Open to all readers world-wide. Contest ends on 12/6 at 11:59 PT. Good luck!
Oh, and fear not, if you’d like an extra chance (or 9) to win, you can also enter to win one of the nine hard drive bundles at these Web sites once they post their rules:

I am thankful to Dr. Macenstein in so many ways. For having the most informative and interesting resource on the web for All Things Mac. For reporting with an unbiased and objective view to bring us faithful followers the daily information we so desperately seek. Dr. Macenstein, I would like to thank you, the most knowledgeable Mac expert in the field for putting up with all of us lesser fanboys and showing us the way to Mac-Perfection. Thank you for all you do as you are a true Hero to us all.
O.K. now i have to change a few names and post this nine other times.
For real though, The thing I am most thankful for is the Mac Chick of the Month! Keep ’em coming and you will always remain the King of the Hill! Thanks!
Insightful Mac news, product reviews, celebrity sightings and MCOTM, who wouldn’t be thankful for all that…oh and the give aways 😉
I’m thanful your sarcasm and some of the news I can’t find elsewhere!
Macenstein, just like Boris Karloff, has lots of good things sewn up in its body, and can go anywhere it chooses to. It could even thump MS. Do it for me.
I am thankful for the Mac Chick’s of the month. I would be even more thankful if these contests included us Canadians!!
Sweet!
as a mcotm that does-not-want-to-be-a-mcotm boy friend i know that macentein rules!!
ok, if i win, they can send it to you doc and then i will pay you via pay pal the shipment to mexico.
in this way i can have access to the raffle.
I’m grateful for all the news about free stuff, all the Apple news, and, what most sites lack, the humor that accompanies your articles. I’m also particularly grateful that you’re the ones who told me about free CrossOver back in October and who told me to try out World of Goo. Macenstein is the first site I check when I wake up in the morning, and one of the few sites I check multiple times a day. Keep up the good work!
The cleavage…!
I come to Macenstein for the cleavages!
I get the doubled news served along with the doubled hotness here… ;-D –big smile–
I frequent Macenstein every day for the entertaining articles, which are always a nice break from the usual technobabble that I end up reading.
I would greatly appreciate these drives because the firewire 800 port on my MBP is feeling rather unloved.
I am a long time RSS subscriber to your site and I always love to see what you have to say.
I am thankful for all of the SEXY mac chicks you post along with all of your quirky posts to boot. You are an inspiration to us all with your wisdom.
Thanks for being there for us Macenstein.
I’m thankful to God for allowing me to have hands so I am able to type and participate in this opportunity to win the hardrives from Macenstein
I am thankful for the awesome tips and tricks, the insight into the Apple product line (present and future), and, of course, the Mac Chick of the Month!!
Macenstein helped me walk again, and cleared up my acne.
If i win I hope to try and backup the world, just in case something happens. No worries.
I’m thanks full that Macenstien is *fun*. There’s no other reason needed, because I get a laugh daily while I learn stuff about our favorite gadgets and gadget maker.
I’m thankful for having a fun alternative to the other big apple news blogs that does more than repost what the others have already reposted from somewhere else! And the Mac Chicks are awesome, too. 🙂
I am grateful for the storage that I have in my brain for the things I learn from you guys!!!
I am thankful for a website that has heightened my awareness around mac and all of apples products. I will never forget the knowledge given to me by macenstein. Thanks guys 🙂
-Daniel
For the mac chicks of course!
I’m thankful for Macestein because they give me Apple news and giveaways all in one!
I am thankful for articles with just the right amount of humor. Also it’s not cheesy. And I like the layout. Plus three out of three guys agree, MCOTM is the easiest way to kill time at work.
One of the only Mac sites that may pull news from around the web but takes the time to create it’s own content and provides a unique take that’s fun and interesting.
I’m grateful to have a place to read a fun take on apple related topics and kill hours of my day that should probably be spent doing real work or trying to come up with something funny to put on my own little site!
Wow, now that’s the best article 🙂
I’m thankful that I can go to one place a day and get all the mac goodness I need for the day, and sometimes multiple times a day.
I am thankful for macenstein’s 1.5t bailout!
Macenstein is the kick in the bum I need to get going every morning. I come for the awesome information, and the celebrity sitings are always fun.
Great stuff!
i am thankful to macenstein because every now and again they spoil me/us with Mac Chicks! Not only that but you give us great res wallpapers to download and grace our machines with. All 9 of my Macs look great with macenstein on them!
I love Macenstein because it’s something to do while I’m on my iPod touch in class. Macenstein has definitely saved me from a lot of boring math!
I am thankful for the beautiful mac Chicks-I am addicted to women anyway-and to see them use my favorite geek technology is just icing on the cake 🙂
I’m very thankful for Macenstein because of the great posts and information that is added daily. When I started getting interested in Mac and ditching PC, Macenstein was very helpful and informative. Without Macenstein I don’t think I would’ve ever switched to Mac.
Plus, who doesn’t like the Mac Chicks and some Celebrity Mac Chicks, hahaha!!!
Thank you Macenstein, keep up the GREAT work!!!
Love the Macenstein information. Very helpful, informative, creative as well. Happy thanksgiving.
I’m really thankful for Macenstein’s news coverage!
I’m thankful for Macenstein because, well it’s not original, MCOTM is a guilty pleasure. The writing is great too.
I’m thankful for the loyalty to the readers~!
I’m very thankful to Macenstein for giving away fabulous free stuff! And for my chance to win! Yaay!

Better Macenstein than “Windowsclean”
I am thankful for the insightful articles… and Mac Chick of the Month.
I always enjoy reading the macilicious news on macenstein.com and thankful for the mac chick of the month, every month. Keep up the great work.
I’m thankful that I have Macenstein as such a great source for my mac news. You present all the stories in a humorous fashion, that separates you from the stingy news sites that exist all over the web. I follow the site through RSS in Safari, and am always happy to see a new story posted. Keep up the good work.
thanksful for a great website that has some good news about macs!!
I’m thankful for sites that make literary allusions in their names. Macenstein, indeed.
Two words: Mac Chicks.
Macenstein is the best reason to procrastinate. Whenever Shakespeare or Dostoyevsky seem too daunting, I come here for a couple of hours…which, of course, has led to way too many nights of no sleep. Totally worth it. I never regret it. And I don’t deal with any of this newfangled RSS nonsense. I wanna see the real thing, MCotM teasers and all.
I had my laptop stolen over last Thanksgiving. All of my family photos and document were gone. I’m still realizing how many photos are missing.
I don’t want this to ever happen again, neither does she!
roses are #FF0000
violets are #0000FF
all my base
are belong to Macenstein.
Macenstein makes Apple news fun as well as timely. I read every article and feature. I love the unique perspective. I’ve been a fan since launch and I can’t get enough (which explains why I am here at noon on Thanksgiving. Gotta get my fix in before the sh*t hits the tryptophan!)
Hugs,

I am thankful that I might still salvage a Happy Christmas and and Thankfilled Thanksgiving because after not working for all of 2008 this might bring some smiles around what we are calling our Christmas tree this year.
Thank you.
i’m thankful for macenstein because you give lazy folks like me chances to win things without ever doing anything for it.
