			<description>&#60;p&#62;You know, I'm not ungrateful or anything - because I really do love GOTD - but c'mon I expected that by now at least an admin would've posted telling me what day I can download all this stuff.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It's been over 5 hours now and nobody has given me any of the stuff I want, I'm beginning to think that they are ignoring me (or they are scared). I'll give you a few more hours and if I don't see some action - I'm going to put in my blog how fake this site is - and I will not recommend this site to my readers (My dad, my brother and three of the guys I work with). &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;GOTD will regret messing with me. Otherwise GOTD can make me an admin or a moderator because I know lots of stuff - and I have my own web page on myspace too - but it is private because I don't want stupid people to steal my secrets.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Clock's ticking - go get my free stuff. Or I'll be like a bad doctor, and lose my patients.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;'REALITY'??  Hey - If it will makes people happy - I'll ask for a few things too...&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I want Photoshop CS2 (with a free upgrade to CS3) a Free Vista Ultimate (not interested in the cheapy versions - they suck), the latest Microsoft Office - all of the Half Life, Counterstrike and related Source games, a free copy of World of Warcraft (with free game play for the next 12 months).&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I would also like all of the EA Sports games, Command and Conquer 3, World in Conflict (not released yet - but I'm prepared to wait) and Supreme commander.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Also to top it all off - when giveawayoftheday starts giving away free computer hardware - I need more hard drive space to store everything, a bigger LCD monitor, a faster cpu... and a new girlfriend (a real one - not the sort you download).&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;That's all for now... I'm working on a more complete list, but that will have to wait until this weekend. Now go get my stuff. ;]

			<description>&#60;p&#62;To date all of the programs &#38;#38; games given away have been from small lesser-known companies.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Obviously the purpose in giving away the software is a cheap form of advertising so the company becomes better known.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The larger software companies have less reason or need to do this as people would know about their products without the assistance of GOTD.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As such, as much as it would save me some money - getting a free &#38;#38; licensed copy of something from Adobe, Microsoft, Autodesk, Blizzard, Electronic Arts or Valve is remote at best. The above companies also have advertising budgets running into the millions of $$$. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I'd love to be proven wrong - but I'm sure the above companies have more experience at people getting giveaway copies of their software through other channels - and the word of mouth advertising that accompanies this is probably all the publicity they want.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;With many games, upgrades and support are fairly non-existent once the game is off the charts, and the publishing company has moved onto newer and more profitable titles.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The other obstacle is the download sizes of these applications. GOTD has not yet given away anything much over 20-30MB. Some of the larger commercial titles would require a download over 1GB.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Knowing the above it becomes a little easier to understand why yesterdays Giveaway was a &#34;screensaver&#34; and today a &#34;clock&#34;.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>
