iTunes Grammy contest: Pick the winners, win 10,000 iTunes songs

by Simon Kerbel Jan 16th 2008

Are you the one in your circle of friends who always picks the winners correctly on awards night? Well, now's your chance to really shine.

iTunes and iGoogle are giving away 10,000 iTunes songs to a select contestant who correctly predicts the Grammy award winners (or who gets the closest).

Simply download the iTunes Grammy contest iGoogle gadget, add it to your iGoogle home page, and make your prognostications. You'll automatically be entered in the contest. For you gadget haters, there's even a printable sweepstakes form to fill out and mail.

iTunes is also holding a daily Grammy trivia sweepstakes; the winners will receive iTunes store credit redeemable for 10 songs.

The 50th Annual Grammy Awards takes place on February 10th, 2008 (but you need to get your predictions in by February 8th to avoid missing out).

Just keep an eye on rule #1:
Eligibility. The iTunes GRAMMY® Sweepstakes (the Promotion) is open only to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia

Good to see Apple Inc. is being so broad minded about the audience of iGoogle and the Grammy awards.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
