As we know, you love giveaways and that’s why we have prepared a consistent prize for this month’s winner.
PRIZE UPGRADE:
Good news! The prize has been upgraded with the newest Cisco-LinkSys wireless router model, which is an Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router coming in an extremely stylish design. By supporting the IEEE 802.11n wireless standard, it enables the highest connection speeds being much faster than wireless G, but still supporting the A, B, G standards.



WRT160N keeps the 4-port Switch functionality, while reducing the number of dead spots with the MIMO technology that uses multiple radios for creating a strong signal.

(It is the Linksys-Cisco Wireless-G Broadband Router that supports the highest 2.4GHz wireless speeds of up to 54Mbps for your home network, with support for the previous B standard, acting also as 4-port 10/100 switch. You can connect up to 4 computers to the router in a wired star network configuration and benefit from the fast and reliable full-duplex technology or, why not, extend your LAN by adding some more hubs and switches and create a large and efficient office network.
The award-winning Linksys-Cisco Wireless-G Broadband Router is the next step that gets you closer to the recently introduced wireless Draft N standard and, in addition, it comes with advanced security features like Wi-Fi Protected Access, wireless MAC address filtering and powerful SPI firewall.)

In order to win it, all you have to do is to find your favorite digital crib example among the video entries at Cisco’s contest called Digital Cribs: Heaven or Hell? and tell us why you think it’s the coolest, or the worse.
After leaving your comment including a valid email address where we will contact you in case you are the winner, why not to make a short recording with your own digital crib and submit it at the Cisco’s contest. This is the smartest way of spending 10 minutes of your time for winning $10,000.



If you are not one of those super-inventive guys or girls, don’t worry, because you’ll still have the chance to win one of the 10 gift cards worth $500 each, with the same submission. More than that, the contest is called Digital Cribs: Heaven or Hell? which means that there will be 2 winners of the grand prize of $10,000 – one showing the coolest tech room with the smartest networking system including wireless connectivity between gadgets, which helps finishing things fast, and one presenting the most frustrating story involving broken connections, tones of wires, and lots of nerves consumed for getting jobs done.

You can rate submissions and submit your own until November 26, while the winners will be announced on December 8, based on the number of views, average rating and the final decision of Cisco’s panel of judges.
Your video will have to be of maximum 3 minutes long, of up to 150MB in size, and also you need to be at least 18 years old to participate.

The contest is open worldwide excepting Quebec, Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Italy, Myanmar (formerly Burma) and Sudan, according to the official rules.

Cisco launched this cool contest that allows you to show off your experience, to provide the best examples of how customer technology, used in innovative ways, is enhancing people’s lifestyles.
The company teamed up with 3 popular figures - Meghan Asha video tech blogger, the NBA star Shane Battier and Lincoln Schatz video artist – who’s videos can be watched here.

We like them all, but decided to post our favorite, of Lincoln Schatz, who uses an impressive system called The Cube to create unique and amazing videos.

Soon we will be able to make phone calls without owning a cell phone. It is a new service created for mobile operators in the emerging markets, which allows subscribers make phone calls using other people’s phones.
Movirtu, recently named Top Innovator by the GSM Association, will demonstrate its innovative service at the 2009 Mobile Innovation Global Award Competition that will take place during GSMA Mobile Asia Congress in Macau, China in November.

It is also one of the finalists in the Most Innovative “True Mobile Start Up” category and has many chances to become one of the 2 Global Finalists that will participate at GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain in February, for the “2009 GSMA Mobile Innovation Global Champion” title.
The company is headquartered in London, UK and has offices in Johannesburg, South Africa, where it supplies network solutions to mobile operators in regions with high people density and salaries of less than 2 dollars a day.

Movirtu’s innovative service is called MXShare and offers subscribers the possibility to use other people’s cell phones for making calls, based on a virtual phone account and number.

For those of you who didn’t know, in Bangladesh, 97% of the homes don’t have a telephone, while in Nigeria there are people living from selling calls on their handsets to other poor people.

“We are privileged to be recognized by the GSMA as a Top Innovator,” said Nigel Waller, CEO of Movirtu. “Movirtu is committed to delivering technology and social innovation that can enable basic phone services for over one billion people at the bottom of the Pyramid and this further demonstrates the leadership and vision of the company in this space.”
