Only the Admin (me) can view this info. I'll update the top 5 rankings in my 2nd post from time to time.

Edit: If you go to your profile and click the "Statistics" tab, you'll see how many referrals you have at the bottom under "General Information."

**Dismal Shadow** · 04-22-2010, 03:39 AM

Some questions...
What do you mean by cheating?
How does this apply for deaf wife and husband who live in the same house with the same ip address?
I just want to make sure I am following this content rule.

it's cheating if it's one person with multiple accounts in order to win the contest.

Cheating by creating fake accounts is what I meant.

Then shorten either the description or URL, or both. Be creative!

To shorten long URLs, I use: bit.ly, a simple url shortener

**Banjo** · 04-22-2010, 10:20 AM

I entered the contest this morning by posting it on FB... maybe I'll get lucky this time. Hmm...

That's what I read, too; I was hoping that maybe Alex forgot the 3G one as it is only 100 dollars more and more emblematic of this Apple product.

Perhaps, although I believe you have to pay for the 3G service. :-/

***Alex*** · 04-22-2010, 11:29 AM

Next time for sure! But for now I'm giving away a brand new iPad with Wi-Fi only. Shit, I wish I could keep it because I don't even own one!

That's the beauty of this....since one is already paying for Internet service, At&T says you can purchase 3G service for the iPad on a 30 day basis for 14.99, no contract. For example, this July and August, we will be gone from home for almost all of that time, I will pay for those two months and be done with it until another time when the situation calls for it.
