    If anyone here is an Amazon.com customer, go here:
    http://promotions.amazon.com/gp/holiday/amazon-customers-vote
    Vote for your favorite products. In round 5 you can vote for an HP tx1350US 12.1" PC:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000W14M6U?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&n=541966&s=pc
    They'll be randomly selecting people that voted for the winning product in that round (which will be the HP laptop) to get it at that price!

    They did this before with a few products - I don't know if it is an annual thing or what, but I definitely agree, really sweet deals!

    I wanted to vote for the diamond earrings, but the votes were too heavily swayed against its chances.

    I was thinking about the earrings myself (perfect gift for my wife), but realised that there is no way the earrings would get most votes.

    You can vote for the minority as items of the minority will be offered to only those that voted for the majority.

    I wonder if the HD-DVD, Blue-Ray, and TIVO result is an indicator on who might be winning the format war.

    Last year, they didn't pre-select people eligible to buy the special offer and Amazon.com crashed when the offer came online.
