My Dream A final round voting



Eight o'clock (EDT) tomorrow night marks the end of voting for the final round of Phill Ryu's My Dream A competition. What started just over a month ago with 24 eager contestants and their software-concepts has been whittled down by four rounds of voting to the six best ideas as decided by thousands of people like ourselves. The masterminds of the three ideas with the most votes will receive a new MacBook and a contract to have their software made into a full-fledged OS X a lication, the revenue from which they get a share of. Keeping with tradition (and even going a bit above and beyond what we've seen in the past), everyone who votes in this last round will receive a free lice e for Overflow 2.0, PhotoPresenter 2.6, and $5 off one of the new I anely Great Tees from Monkey Busine La .

Competition between the contenders has been brutal this round, with almost all of the ideas making it into the top three at one time or another over the past day, with Atmo here (one of the a 's I voted for, yay!) currently in the lead. The one contestant that has stayed co istent throughout the voting has been Blo om, of which Steve Wozniak has to say; "This would only be remotely entertaining if the plant was marijuana or opium and when you did certain things like actually work, you killed your crop. Maybe you could make virtual cash and compete online for the best cash crop. In order to grow the weed and heroin you have to browse certain web sites that would require you be smoking weed to start with; like the Microsoft.com Vista developer site."

So get out there and vote! It only takes a few minutes, you get yourself some great free software, and in the proce help decide the wi er of a great competition that will eventually benefit you through new and interesting a licatio to play with.

Update: "What, you mean today i 't Wednesday?" Thanks for pointing out my errors guys, I must be losing it.

Update, the second: Ok, here's the deal on the whole "who's on first" busine . I do have i ider information when it comes to MDA, but not in the case of this vote. Without even really thinking about it, I made a (silly now that I think of it) a umption that the first, second, third etc histogram bars corre onded to the first, second,third etc a licatio listed below. I would never intentionally do anything to skew the results. Sorry about the confusion
