Nintendo DS Lite in the running for TIME's Gadget of the Year 2006

The DS Lite is one of 8 products up for TIME Magazine's Gadget of the Year this year!

This is probably where you are expecting me to rally support and encourage you all to go vote for the DS. Judging from the preliminary results so far, I don't think that will be necessary.

At the time of this writing, the Nintendo DS Lite is leading the competition with an astounding 58% of the overall vote. The next highest device, the Apple MacBook Pro, has only 28% of the vote, a full 30% behind the DS.

So, if you feel so inclined you can head over to TIME's voting page and make your voice heard. No pressure though, cause the DS has this one in the bag.

WoW 2nd Year Anniversary Sweepstakes @ WorldOfWarCraft

Do you remember the first time you set foot in Orgrimmar and saw the watch fires burning on the parapets? What about the first time you heard the echoes of death in the halls of the Undercity? Or even the first time you saw the hot molten iron flowing beneath the catwalks of the city of Ironforge or gazed at the towering statues of the heroes of the Alliance in Stormwind? It has been two years since players first entered the world of Azeroth to forge such memories. Friendships have been created, battles waged, and mighty dragons vanquished.

To celebrate the second anniversary of the launch of World of Warcraft and to show our appreciation to our community, we will be awarding prizes over the next five weeks! Your support, enthusiasm and dedication have made us the #1 MMORPG in the world and we couldn't have done it without you!

During the week of November 6, we'll be awarding 2 lucky winners per day a Razer Copperhead™ Precision mouse, a Razer Mantis™ Control Mat, and a Barracuda HP-1 Headset.
