    As an entrant:


    Half the reason folks put time an effort into submissions is to see their ideas in print. Past contests have had an entry gallery. Why is this one any different?


    As a reader:


    Sure knowing who won is great, but the variety of ideas is the major reason I click on these stories. You know a check in with the collective subconscious. Otherwise it is not a story, it just feels like you are trolling ideas for Toshiba. That is a horrible feeling.


    Pretty please consider a remedy to this by posting a gallery of the entrants.

    I wouldn't buy one, but only because the guy in the picture looks so melancholy. I think that might have something to do with the marketing though.

    @Ibelieveinsandwitches: Look at the red lines between the device and his laptop. That indicates the two are communicating and he has tasks to complete. The ad is just being realistic... I wouldn't be so happy if I a bunch of tasks to complete on my computer, but was a male Helen Keller with penguin hands and only one arm.

    @Rabid Penguin:


    right, the contest wasn't "Make the best mockup of a mediocre productivity gadget", it was "make a mockup of the best productivity gadget you can think of"


    the winner should win on the merits of the gadget, not the quality of the mockup.

    But between you and me, the "Chonograhper" is kind of a lame entry.
