“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 38 – A Wi-Fire by hField Technology
This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Jennifer.
On the Thirty-Eighth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) 
Yes, whether you’re a cute young thing or her less cute mom, if you’re into Wi-Fi, you’re going to love the Wi-Fire. I know I do. It’s about a billion times better than a Pringles can and coat hanger for extending your Wi-Fi “borrowing” range. You may remember we reviewed the first generation of Wi-Fire a year or two back, and were pretty much blown away by its performance. The only thing that wasn’t incredibly awesome about it was the somewhat flaky software, which apparently has been rewritten from the ground up. (In fact, if you win, you should download the even newer software from the website, just skip the disc).
The Wi-Fire is a compact, range-extending USB device that enables you to access a wireless Internet connection from up to 1,000 feet away–three times the range of your internal wireless adapter.
The Wi-Fire uses a powerful directional antenna, highly sensitive receiver and proprietary software to find and enhance normal WiFi signals. With it, you can connect wirelessly to the Internet–even at low signal strengths–faster, more reliably and with a more consistently strong connection–than you are able to with an internal wireless adapter.
The Wi-Fire draws very little power from your laptop battery. It comes complete with everything you need to connect wirelessly to the Internet. Just install the Wi-Fire Connection Manager, plug the Wi-Fire into an available USB port and you’re ready to start. It can rest on any flat surface, laptop display or flat screen monitor.
To enter: Speaking of stealing things, if you could steal any one item in the world (that you could physically carry), without getting caught, what would you steal? Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to ALL READERS WORLD-WIDE. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!
No stealing because bad deeds are never without costs.

Nothing of course…that’d be illegal. 😉
But if I was being forced to take something against my will, well then maybe the access codes to Fort Knox so I could stop in for a little spending money whenever I needed it.

Would be nice if I didn’t have to steal. Can I ask politely, instead?
To enter the contest, though: if I had to steal something without any repercussions, I’d steal an alien device that could safely and instantly teleport me and anything/anyone else I wanted to teleport wherever in the world I wanted to go.
Thank you for the giveaway!
