Last week, I called on you to create and submit some brutally honest gadget ads. And you did! While I'd say about half of the entries were ads for the iPhone 3G (I get it guys, you want copy and paste), we also got some pretty awesome ads for other devices. From the predictable (red-ringing Xbox 360s) to the completely unpredictable (White Castle Slyders, last time I checked, aren't gadgets, but I let it, uh, slide), we have some great entries here. Hit the jump for your top three winners and all the rest of the top entries in the Gallery of Champions.

For this week's Photoshop Contest, I want you to create some really honest gadget ads. You know, ads that say things companies would never actually advertise about their products, but actually give you more correct info than a real ad. Alternatively, you can make the ads brutally honest about the consumer it's aimed at. Be creative! It's fun and easy, as you can see by the Unicorn-themed PS3 ad I made above.

Apparently, Woz is a Price is Right fan. Unfortunately, he was just sitting in the front row and was never called down to play Plinko or spin the big wheel, because I bet that he really knows the prices of household products and could use a new Lincoln Towncar or whatever it was they gave away that episode. Oh, Woz. Hit the jump for another screenshot of Woz enjoying himself some game show goodness, then let's hear your best captions in the comments section. Thanks, Brett!

So I told you this morning about how Iran made its missile test photos look more impressive by adding another missile using the magic of Photoshop. Whatever, we can do better than that. You want to impress us, Iran? Let's see some serious tech power. We'll help. Your challege, Gizmodians, is to use Photoshop to create some sweet Iranian propaganda, showing their technological advancements that are heretofore unseen.

Speaking of really cool iPhone apps, here's one of the submissions we've gotten for our iPhone App Contest. It's called Instinctiv Shuffle, and it "learns from your skipping patterns and plays what you want to hear." We haven't tested it out for ourselves in any extent, but current users of it (it's a jailbreak application) seem to really like it. During random shuffle, users skip on average every 2 songs, but in Instinctiv Shuffle, they only skip every 14 songs. Think your app is cooler? Send it on in to our contest. [Instinctiv]

Last week I asked you to send me napkin sketches of your brilliant gadget ideas. The sketches I received ranged from good ideas to bad ideas to flat-out horrible ideas. It's safe to say that no time machines or gadgets that'll make you attractive to ladies are suddenly feasible because you did a poor drawing of one on a napkin. Sorry! Hit the jump for the top three winners and check out the rest of the winners in our Gallery of Champions.

It's a classic story: someone comes up with a million dollar idea while sitting at a bar and sketches it out on a napkin to remember it. Later, they profit, and they have a cute story about where they came up with the idea. Well, now's your chance. For this week's photo contest, I'm looking for you to get creative without the aid of Photoshop. Instead, I want to see what kind of fantastical gadget napkin sketches you can come up with. What have you always wanted to see on the shelves of Best Buy? What's the craziest or most futuristic device you can imagine? Sketch it out on a napkin, take a picture or scan it in, and email it to contests@gizmodo.com with "napkin sketch" in the subject line. I'll post the best sketches in our Gallery of Champions next Tuesday. Get sketchin'!

Hollywood is going a little bit crazy with the unnecessary sequels and remakes these days, more often than not taking a beloved show or movie from our younger years and holding it down while it drowns in a bathtub. Still, there are properties left unmolested, memories that have yet to be tarnished. Trust me: it's only a matter of time. For this week's Photoshop contest, I want to see you imagine some new sequels or remakes that would be so offensive to your precious memories that you would swear off movies for good.

Last week, I asked you to create visions of Bill Gates in retirement. You responded. As per usual, the easiest joke had the most entries (this time, it was Bill Gates working at the Apple Store/at the Genius Bar), many of which were left on the cutting room floor. However, there are a pretty serious number of flat-out insane and hilarious entries that are sure to tarnish the name and legacy of poor Billy G. Sorry, Bill. After the jump, check out the top three winners and then view the rest of the winners in our Gallery of Champions.

Bill Gates is retiring in a couple of weeks! Oh lordy, the crown prince of Microsoft, retired! What's he going to do with all his free time? He'll be the richest retiree ever, so he'll have plenty of options to fill his days. As you can see, I posit that he'll hang out on the moon. Your challenge: look into the future and see what Gates will be doing. Then, show us your vision in Photoshop form. Send me your entries of your visions of Gates in retirement to contests@gizmodo.com with "Gates in retirement" in the subject line, and next Tuesday I'll pick the winners and post a Gallery of Champions.

We saw a number of iPhone SDK applications demoed during the WWDC keynote last week, some of which—like the physics-based game Enigmo—were fantastic. With over 250,000 kits downloaded and 4,000 admitted to the iPhone beta program, we're sure you guys have come up with something as good, or even better than that. That's why we're holding our own Gizmodo iPhone App Contest.
