In an effort to see how narcissistic we all really are, Proporta has concurred to give away five Proporta Echo screen protectors to our top twenty hottest readers — actually it will be random, but let’s pretend this is like CrunchGear’s Top Model. Your mission is to submit a picture of yourself looking your ideal, which will end up in a video cavalcade, and we’ll pick five entrants at random. After all, if this were a beauty contest Doug would win hands-down thanks to his long flowing eyelashes and stark, midwestern good looks.

Send us a photo to contest @ crunchgear dot com with the subject line “HOT OR NOT.” Include a mailing address and desired device (nano or iPhone). The contest is over Monday, March 17, at noon EST. Thanks to Proporta for supplying the goods.

A movie with a superhero is nothing without a quality supervillain. What would Spider-Man be like if he didn’t have Doc Ock trying to show them all? Cracked recently held a contest asking its readers to Photoshop their favorite supervillain’s plans for world domination as flow charts, and the results are breathtaking. Above is my favorite, […]

A movie with a superhero is nothing without a quality supervillain. What would Spider-Man be like if he didn’t have Doc Ock trying to show them all?

Cracked recently held a contest asking its readers to Photoshop their favorite supervillain’s plans for world domination as flow charts, and the results are incredible. Above is my favorite, but there are 19 more excellent ones to view.

You’re welcome.

Convenient, but possibly less efficient than a system that follows the sun. This is probably a good idea for those with good exposure who want to integrate solar power from the beginning. The good news is that it looks and installs just like regular tile-y roof (but bluer), the bad news is it’s nearly certainly […]

Kid toys aren’t really our beat unless it’s something spectacular like Glow Worms or My Tiny Pony, but the whole American Idol and even Rock Band craze isn’t going away anytime soon, so you might as well groom that little bundle of joy for a career in rock ‘n roll.

Kid toys aren’t really our beat unless it’s something spectacular like Glow Worms or My Tiny Pony, but the whole American Idol and even Rock Band craze isn’t going away anytime soon, so you might as well groom that tiny bundle of joy for a career in rock ‘n roll.

The Sing-a-Song microphone gets a mention because you can connect your iPod or any MP3 player to it and have the little ones sing along to their favorite tunes. Let’s face it; you’re going to rock out karaoke-style on this, too. Don’t lie. It even features a laughing track (Is that really encouraging? Unless you’re rapping along to some George Carlin track), clapping and lights even flash to the music. It’s only $25. I’m getting one for Biggs.
