First of all I am just making some final touches to the ShoeMoney NewsLetter which goes out tomorrow. The topic is Blog Monetization (inspired by the panel I am speaking on at the DMA). My once a month newsletters are more like mini-ebooks (maybe that’s what I should do).
Anyway sign up and make sure you don’t miss anything!
Anyway… So for the grand prize of the comment contest we are giving away 2 laptops this time… so I now have both of them in hand. Which one would you choose?

The Macbook Air is being sponsored by Neil Patel of Quicksprout and the White MacBook is being sponsored by Marketleverage.
September 30, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Damn thats such a tease thing to do!!
I prefer the Black Macbook Air…. but I didnt win any of the comments contests. If you just feel like tossing it to a reader, keep me in mind! My dog ate mine!

September 30, 2008 at 7:06 pm
jesus your fast =P
September 30, 2008 at 7:11 pm
Musta been crap luck – saw it in the reader and jumped over to look!
BTW – Thanks for the subscribe to comments plug.
September 30, 2008 at 7:34 pm
really? I just implemented it today… wasnt sure if I should put it in or not
September 30, 2008 at 7:57 pm
MUCH easier than subscribing to full comment feed imo.
September 30, 2008 at 9:09 pm
I never subscribe to comments follow-up. I’d get pummeled with e-mails. I just bookmark the post and come back to check it manually.
September 30, 2008 at 7:14 pm
Eh, yeah, I’ve got a bunch of comment luck for your blog, just accidnetly opened my reader and saw a new post, and bam first..
October 1, 2008 at 6:04 am
Yea, once you’ve subscribed to comments by email on a few of the bigger blogs you will probably never want to enter your inbox again, with the fear of being overwhelmed by hundreds of emails.
October 9, 2008 at 4:39 am
Yes, it’s easier to just subscribe to the comments feed at http://www.shoemoney.com/comments/feed rather than by e-mail. We all know Shoemoney’s blog receives a lot of comments and we would get tons of e-mails by subscribing to comments!
October 1, 2008 at 4:11 pm
The Black Airbooks are sweet. Think the white ones are a little old hat now but still I take one! Nice tease shoe
October 5, 2008 at 6:30 am
The black Macbook Air will be my first preference, but I’ll take the white one if I happen to win it!
October 22, 2008 at 9:36 am
I’d prefer the black one but would gladly take the white one if no one else wants it!
Although I must say, the guy holding the white mac looks much more excited about things!
September 30, 2008 at 7:13 pm
Ha ha, this looks awesome, I hope I get an entry
September 30, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Both laptops looks awesome, Id choose the Macbook Air, hope I get a chance to win
September 30, 2008 at 7:29 pm
the one thing I don’t like about the air is not having an optical drive… I don’t use it much as is but I know the few times I needed it, it would drive me crazy.
October 1, 2008 at 3:26 am
Macbook Air is limited but should not be a replacement for your main computer or main laptop for that matter. Should be for travel and other limited uses although I do agree to some extent it sucks not having the optical drive. I would probably go for the Macbook Air still
September 30, 2008 at 7:18 pm
Definitely the white MacBook. If I convert from PC to Mac, I want it fully loaded.
September 30, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Me too. The air looks cool but I am at a place where functionality definately wins out over coolness.
October 1, 2008 at 5:08 am
ye, I agree. For me, functionality always is priority over design. Because when you really think about it, with notebooks/laptops, you hardly show them off in public like you do with mobile phones. So in the end it’s about how it works for your needs and not for show
September 30, 2008 at 7:18 pm
I hope I win
Great work Shoe!
September 30, 2008 at 7:50 pm
3.33% chance of winning for the month of September.
September 30, 2008 at 8:20 pm
that’s if you got a shirt already its much less if you haven’t
won the comment post for the day yet
September 30, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Much smaller actually, its a 1.639% chance of winning. I forgot it goes two months not one.
October 5, 2008 at 6:32 am
Geez, you guys have analised this down to the decimal point
September 30, 2008 at 7:19 pm
I would pick the Macbook Air. I have a first generation White Macbook (that I am typing on as we speak) but I would love to have an aluminum macbook! I am a college kid from Washington State who is feeling the itch for a new lappy and you have got the goods!
October 1, 2008 at 6:46 am
I think the winner will be glad to any laptop
September 30, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Either one is good, I have neither myself as of yet but will hopefully soon…:)
I am sure anyone here would be happy with either one of them if they win.
September 30, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Gotta go with the Air.
September 30, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Sweet, just wish I could win the comment part of it
Can’t wait for the newsletter!
October 1, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Wow, you just mirrored by thoughts completely, firstly I really want a t-shirt. Secondly I’m looking forward to the newsletter.
September 30, 2008 at 7:21 pm
I’d go with the White MacBook. More practical.
October 1, 2008 at 5:59 am
Definitely – 1 USB port just doesn’t do it for me
October 1, 2008 at 6:40 am
moreover i suppose there is no CD rom as well…
If you want to have the world’s thinnest laptop you need to compromise a but on features …
September 30, 2008 at 7:22 pm
Either would be great, gotta win the T first though……….
September 30, 2008 at 7:22 pm
That’s a tough choice to make. It’s a shame the MacBook Air doesn’t have more power.
*Signs up to Newsletter*
September 30, 2008 at 7:23 pm
I would be happy with either one. I just switched to an imac, and I love it. My PC died, and I decided to move on. Great decision….
September 30, 2008 at 7:30 pm
I could never leave behind PC…. “I’m a PC” for life
September 30, 2008 at 9:10 pm
I’ve gotten way too attached/familiar to Windows as well. But if I win one of these macs, I’m gonna try to make the switch
September 30, 2008 at 10:08 pm
I agree I am also use to PC and haven’t used
macs much
September 30, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Shoe, I’ll take the MacBook Air. Thank you for the fantastic prize, pm or email me anytime for the delivery address…dave.
October 1, 2008 at 5:10 am
Hahaha! Nice try. It’s not that easy… I like your style though. LMAO
October 1, 2008 at 6:43 am
I wish it was that easy
October 5, 2008 at 6:33 am
If you dont ask…..you wont receive
September 30, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Don’t know, I think I would take the MacBook Air if I got first pic… I have a full size notebook so it would be nice to travel with… However you can never have to many notebooks so really Id take either.
September 30, 2008 at 7:31 pm
I’ll take the macbook air – it will look nice by my mbp.
//g
September 30, 2008 at 9:22 pm
mbp means ??
October 1, 2008 at 5:12 am
I’m asking myself the same question…
September 30, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Aw, jeez, that’s a tough decision, especially since I don’t know a lot about either. I don’t have a laptop yet, so just having one would be a treat for me. I’m leaning slightly toward the white Macbook, but it’s not a strong preference.
And I did win a shirt. Wondering how my luck will be for the grand prize.
October 1, 2008 at 6:44 am
I am wondering the same thing … I also did win a T- Shirt from Jeremy..
September 30, 2008 at 7:32 pm
The regular macbook would be my choice
September 30, 2008 at 7:33 pm
I’d definitely pick the Macbook, minus the air. I’ve got enough of that to pass around.
But it seems even after my incessant posting I’ve not even won a daily drawing for a t-shirt.
September 30, 2008 at 7:58 pm
hang in there bro, hang in there
October 1, 2008 at 6:03 am
You should get a shirt for being top commentator!
October 5, 2008 at 6:34 am
It’s too easy to spam that….
September 30, 2008 at 7:34 pm
MacBook Air – all the way!
October 1, 2008 at 7:46 pm
for shizzle! go thinner and faster and cooler
September 30, 2008 at 7:35 pm
I would definitely go for the macbook air. I’m a huge sports guy, and travel a lot, so having a laptop by my side is a must. The macbook would still be nice, but for the ultra portability, and oh-so-sexy macbook lust, I’d go for the Air!
October 1, 2008 at 6:47 am
This is the original view
September 30, 2008 at 7:35 pm
i’d definitely go for the air..
September 30, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Anyone ever tell you that you look like the serial killer Richard Kuklinski AKA the Iceman?
September 30, 2008 at 10:36 pm
No he doesn’t. Kuklinski didn’t have a long hair. I saw some kind of tv special about him not too long time ago.
September 30, 2008 at 10:56 pm
The face and beard….
September 30, 2008 at 7:35 pm
I already have a macbook, so I’ll take the macbook air.
October 5, 2008 at 6:34 am
You lucky fish, you!
September 30, 2008 at 7:36 pm
The Air, because it has a cooler box.
—I wouldn’t mind the MacBook though, Have used them before and they are ROCK STAR MACs
September 30, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Hell, maybe this one will show up in the mail before the other.
October 1, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Don’t be so greedy!
September 30, 2008 at 7:43 pm
Which Macbook is it… The 2.1 or the 2.4 GHz? They have the same screen size I think and the air gets half an hour more of battery time.
September 30, 2008 at 7:44 pm
I already have an Air but you can give me the white one.
September 30, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Holy Chow Sighting on Shoemoney batman!!!
September 30, 2008 at 8:24 pm
Haha yeah cause YOU of all people need something for free.
September 30, 2008 at 9:11 pm
I thought you had a Macbook Pro John.
September 30, 2008 at 9:15 pm
haha… You weren’t joking – you ARE an Apple fanboy
September 30, 2008 at 9:20 pm
Heh, guess you’re following your “Ask and you shall receive” advice :p
September 30, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Jeesh. J.C. makes a post and instantly becaomes is the top commentator who is being commented the most! =)
September 30, 2008 at 10:53 pm
What in the world?!?! John commenting on Jeremy’s blog? What the hell is the world coming to?
September 30, 2008 at 11:03 pm
I want the white one, never have a Mac before but everybody is getting it…!
October 1, 2008 at 6:49 am
John Jeremy will give you a white one if you follow the contest rules… NO exceptions
October 1, 2008 at 4:31 pm
John is always looking for something free, you don’t get rich by wasting your money!
September 30, 2008 at 7:46 pm
I’ll take the macbook air
September 30, 2008 at 7:48 pm
This was the first tweet of yours where I happened to actually be on the computer and not the blackberry, and i click the link in the tweet and you’re giving away macs! wtf destiny man, destiny.
September 30, 2008 at 7:49 pm
That MacBook Air is Dreamy. Just stopping by to say hello, Twitter friend.
September 30, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Macbook air, portability is a requirement for my volunteer / charity work.
September 30, 2008 at 7:51 pm
and my laptop is broken I would take the white macbook over the air because honestly I would crush the air lol
September 30, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Dude, can I trade it in for an Dell?
October 2, 2008 at 1:52 am
You are supposed to win a t-shirt first to be eligible for it :p
Did you win one?
September 30, 2008 at 7:53 pm
definitely the white macbook.
September 30, 2008 at 7:57 pm
woah sweet I think I have one entry even though I never got my shirt
September 30, 2008 at 8:25 pm
Weird, I got mine.
October 1, 2008 at 7:48 pm
I got a nice email from Susan and it is on the way
September 30, 2008 at 8:05 pm
I’ll take the white macbook! good luck with the contest everyone.
September 30, 2008 at 8:06 pm
I’d pick the Mac Book Air… never liked white laptops…
September 30, 2008 at 8:07 pm
Woa woa woa! Mac laptops up for grabs? This has to be one of the coolest giveaways I’ve ever seen!
By the way, Jeremy, expect to see me more often. Not because of the giveaways you have bit this blog has always been on my feed reader but I just never left comments. So I guess this is the perfect time to start.
Sly
September 30, 2008 at 10:55 pm
Seems like some only wanna participate when there is something in it for them.
September 30, 2008 at 8:08 pm
ummm.. lemme think about that one … No brainer.
September 30, 2008 at 8:08 pm
The air would be sweet for me. I already have a black macbook and would love to have the air for putting up slideshows at weddings.
September 30, 2008 at 8:09 pm
I would go with the MacBook Air for the coolness factor. I have a black MacBook which is great, but the shift would be useful for some days around campus.
September 30, 2008 at 8:12 pm
I’ll take BOTH! >: )
-Mike
September 30, 2008 at 10:45 pm
I wish I can too.
September 30, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Finally a newsletter. Isn’t this the first one? Can’t wait.
September 30, 2008 at 8:16 pm
I would go for the regular white MacBook. The airs look nice but I don’t need a computer I can put in an envelope.
September 30, 2008 at 10:17 pm
I don’t think you really can… It’s just the marketing… =)
September 30, 2008 at 8:18 pm
I would take either, but I do prefer a nice clean white, so probably the white one.
September 30, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Definitely for the white one
September 30, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Definitely the macbook air
September 30, 2008 at 8:28 pm
I’d take the air, even if it means a new printer, speakers, modem …
September 30, 2008 at 8:29 pm
I would get the White Mac Book definitely. Better practicality.
Air is sexy but I just don’t go around much with a laptop. But it’s okay, just send either one to me! I promise to take goooood care of it.
September 30, 2008 at 8:33 pm
MacBook air for sure…
September 30, 2008 at 8:42 pm
I’d definitely go for the macbook…not that I use a cd drive a lot, but it would be nice not having to worry about it.
September 30, 2008 at 8:43 pm
I would definitely go for the Air. Looks so much more sleek and it’s newer too. It’ll also get me laid. I think.
October 1, 2008 at 7:49 pm
I think absolutely.
September 30, 2008 at 8:49 pm
I’d prefer a MacBook Air. Sometimes my MacBook Pro is just a little much to take on trips, especially to conferences. I never have time to get any “real” work done at conferences, so I always just end up checking email and posting to blogs.
The MacBook Air is perfect for general web browsing, email, etc.
September 30, 2008 at 8:53 pm
I would choose the Macbook Air for sure. Its sexier.
September 30, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Well, I prefer Macbook Air, I really need a notebook to carry everywhere, but, if I win the White Macbook, I wouldn’t complain at all.
Good luck to me!
September 30, 2008 at 9:05 pm
I think my first choice would be the Air, though I certainly would be happy with either!
September 30, 2008 at 9:05 pm
I’d probably go with the white MacBook, but it is a tough call. That is something I’d have to decide when it happens
September 30, 2008 at 9:08 pm
Macbook air! Definitely!
September 30, 2008 at 9:09 pm
The Air – pretty please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With sugar on top.
September 30, 2008 at 9:11 pm
I would take the white macbook. They are both cool. I like windows and the MAC. Greg Ellison
September 30, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Oh gosh I want the macbook air so badly
September 30, 2008 at 9:15 pm
I’d take the regular MacBook. I don’t even have a laptop at all so if I did get something I’d rather have something with a little more oomph behind it.
September 30, 2008 at 9:17 pm
I rarely make use of a CD drive, I can often get by with using a USB memory stick (including for OS reinstalls) so I guess Mac AIR wins it for me
October 1, 2008 at 6:02 am
There are situations when you really need a CD Drive though, thats when you start to feel your $1,xxx investment wasn’t so smart..lol
October 3, 2008 at 12:17 am
The Mac AIR is not intended to be a consumer’s primary machine and this is demonstrated by its lack of inputs. I would be scared if I had only one USB port, no direct Ethernet port and had to only rely on the wifi’ functionality on my primary machine.
But hey, who’s complaining when you may win a free laptop :p
September 30, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Thought I had a shot last month with 1 Tshirt win, but no luck. This month didn’t even get a T shirt yet. Trying. perhaps tonight is the night?? I would be SOOOOOOOOOO happy with a Macbook Air. Of course I would also be happy with the Macbook so I could sell it to get an Air.
Want to be one of the cool kids with something so light and sexy. Fingers area crossed.
September 30, 2008 at 9:33 pm
its actually 2 months long so hang in there
September 30, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Oh, so this isn’t the final night?
September 30, 2008 at 9:51 pm
it goes until november 1st
September 30, 2008 at 9:22 pm
I see you have made some changes after few days of start of contest..
No repeat winners are coming up.. that’s not fair for already won guys
September 30, 2008 at 9:26 pm
I’ll take the AIR…
They look pretty cool but I don’t have extra $$ to buy one. 
September 30, 2008 at 9:26 pm
Either. Being PC-only at the moment is killing my plans to build iPhone apps. It’s just not working in a VM.
September 30, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Thats cool, i like white one…but will accept either
September 30, 2008 at 9:58 pm
I checked their tech specs. I would go for Macbook White. It would be very useful to me because I can use it for my work.
September 30, 2008 at 10:14 pm
Mac Book Air. Nice. I am certainly in! =)
Are you allergic to PCs? =)
October 1, 2008 at 7:44 am
Not so many people in America like pcs!
September 30, 2008 at 10:15 pm
wow i love that laptop maybe you can send me one here in the philippines, is that possible? hehehehehe maybe i will be the first one to win such kind of prize coming from here. Anythings possible!!!!!
September 30, 2008 at 10:16 pm
Personally, I will love the white Macbook. I think it is the best between both… or maybe I am wrong.
September 30, 2008 at 10:28 pm
Great contest shoe! you’ve done it again! hope I can be part of it. I’ve been looking to get a Mac Book Air but haven’t had the budget to buy one yet.
Thanks
September 30, 2008 at 10:29 pm
In the pictures you look unhappy about the Air and stoked about the Macbook. Hmmmm… You have a MB Pro don’t you?
September 30, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Forgot to say! I would love a Shoemoney tshirt! we will see how it goes!
September 30, 2008 at 10:36 pm
I’d have to pick the macbook air. Mainly because of travel I want something really light. The macbook’s razor sharp edges are just too painful to deal with. I sold my old black macbook for that reason!
September 30, 2008 at 10:38 pm
Dude man I would go for the white one, cause Gary Vaynerchuk said that the Air doesn’t let you change batteries.
September 30, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Wow two Macs!!! This is one of the best contests I have ever seen.
September 30, 2008 at 10:45 pm
For portability I think I would take the MacBook Air. They just take up so little room that it’s ideal for the things I do on a daily basis.
October 1, 2008 at 1:31 am
I looked at them and you lose a lot of stuff with the Apple Air computer. You don’t get as many plug inputs. The battery you can’t change like you can with the White MacBook.
The AIR is wicked cause of its weight and thickness but you lose a bunch of stuff to get that.
October 1, 2008 at 11:06 am
There are what 2 USB ports, no optical drive eithr a IDE or SSD harddrive etc.
I mean I rarely use CDs or DVDs (like once a few months), the USB I can use to attach external storage etc since I would primarily use it for blogging and photography etc. I have 3 desktops at home so if i need more perhiperals I am ok there.
October 2, 2008 at 3:35 pm
I just don’t want to be lugging all this stuff with me where wires can get tangled up. The MacBook has everything you really need. The Air almost does.
September 30, 2008 at 10:58 pm
I would pick the white macbook. I like having the built in cd drive.
September 30, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Holy shit! That was a lot of comments to read through.
September 30, 2008 at 11:03 pm
BTW, Did you read my ShoeChucky returns post about you?
September 30, 2008 at 11:07 pm
what about people outside the states. precisely from African countries? Are they eligible.
September 30, 2008 at 11:10 pm
I’d pick the white one, because it’s a little more flexible with what media you use. Plus I still haven’t abandoned the CD/DVD Drive yet. Maybe in a couple of years, I’d choose the Air, but for now I’d go with the White Macbook.
September 30, 2008 at 11:11 pm
you have to choose the white macbook
September 30, 2008 at 11:16 pm
Shoe don’t you ever feel like having one of those macs for yourself? You probably have one though!
September 30, 2008 at 11:20 pm
Count me in!
September 30, 2008 at 11:35 pm
I’ll take the macbook!
September 30, 2008 at 11:44 pm
How about a Linux Air?
If only “they” had money for viral blog sponsorships like Apple. =D
September 30, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Gotta go with the Air, just for the coolness factor. Watching all the other nerds (yep I’m included) gather around trying not to get excited about a Mac, but definitely wanting to get their hands on it
October 1, 2008 at 12:05 am
well i think it is obvious which one YOU like better
October 1, 2008 at 12:11 am
I’d have to go with the black one because it is more portable. I travel a ton, and it would be so nice to have a light weight option.
October 1, 2008 at 12:34 am
I would love a macbook air
October 1, 2008 at 12:46 am
I had to post again to see if my avatar works
October 1, 2008 at 12:46 am
I’d prefer a MacBook air
October 1, 2008 at 12:54 am
Would love to get one to do some iPhone SDK work.
October 1, 2008 at 12:54 am
Either one would be nice but if I had to pick, it would probably be the white MacBook
October 1, 2008 at 12:57 am
white mac air
October 1, 2008 at 1:23 am
3 simple words…..Air, Air, Air.
October 1, 2008 at 1:25 am
definitely the white macbook
October 1, 2008 at 1:27 am
I’d surely prefer the black MacBook, it fits my old laptop…
October 1, 2008 at 1:29 am
definitely air…
October 1, 2008 at 1:33 am
The MacBook Air would be nice for when I travel now that I think about it. The last time I used a DVD or CD on the road? Probably back when I had a PowerBook 3 years ago! Great of Neil and the other sponsor, and Shoemoney, to put this on, thanks guys!
October 1, 2008 at 1:34 am
I’d take the AIR since I already own the white MacBook
October 1, 2008 at 1:46 am
It’s funny to see that you look sad on the photo with Mac Air and lucky with the White Macbook. Why is that?
October 1, 2008 at 1:47 am
i try to make money and buy my own macbook but it’s hard…
October 1, 2008 at 2:18 am
macbook air of course!
October 1, 2008 at 2:22 am
The MacBook Air got way more sex appeal, I’d surely go for that one. Looking forward to the newsletter!
October 1, 2008 at 2:23 am
macbook air please
thank you
October 1, 2008 at 2:39 am
Well I’ve got one entry already. I’ll have the black one please. I have a thing for black. Bit presumptuous I know but I’m feeling lucky
October 1, 2008 at 6:01 am
Confidence is king! xD Black is the ultimate in looking sleek.
October 1, 2008 at 2:45 am
i’d be happy with either. Always fancied having a go on the mac os.
October 1, 2008 at 3:06 am
I would love to get the white one

I think apple books just need to be white, this is the default apple color… So if i would win one, i hope its the white one
October 1, 2008 at 3:14 am
Hmm…i would choose Air, you can send it right away
October 1, 2008 at 3:31 am
Hang on there I really want to have the black one
October 1, 2008 at 3:34 am
Okay I change my mind I will prefere the white Mac Book because I lost my in the train last year at Kent (UK).
Where I should sign up or make a smart comment…
By the way can you delivery it into Paris.
Merci
October 1, 2008 at 4:00 am
I dig the white Mac Air
October 1, 2008 at 4:03 am
I’d choose the Air…
October 1, 2008 at 4:08 am
I would prefer the small white Macbook. The Macbook has not that many features en is probably faster.
October 1, 2008 at 4:24 am
I’d take the MacBook Air. It’s more unique. Everyone can use a white case for his ordinary notebook
October 1, 2008 at 4:26 am
I want a MacBook (doesn’t mind which one) soooooooo baaaaaaaaaad!
October 1, 2008 at 4:28 am
I’d choose the normal MacBook over the air…
October 1, 2008 at 4:34 am
Love is in the AIR
October 1, 2008 at 4:45 am
Tough question…the Air is slim, cool and chicks dig the slim look @@ On the other hand I get a lot more performance from the MacBook.
So you want to pick up chicks or perform? I’m married so I choose perform aka. the white Macbook.
October 1, 2008 at 6:00 am
The Air isn’t only good for chicks, is also good for impressing everyone you meet
October 1, 2008 at 4:51 am
Already have a macbook, so Macbook Air is my choice.
October 1, 2008 at 4:56 am
Definitely the MacBook. The Air is cool but cool wears off!
BarryMac
October 1, 2008 at 5:03 am
MacBook Air. Really you can’t go wrong with either, that’s just my personal preference.
October 1, 2008 at 5:16 am
the white macbook!
October 1, 2008 at 5:23 am
Its got to be the macbook air everytime.
October 1, 2008 at 5:30 am
If I won, I would chose the MacBook Air
October 1, 2008 at 5:32 am
i’ll take both
October 1, 2008 at 5:58 am
These are some great prizes you are giving out Jeremy, if I was offering something of that standard I’d probably be abit more strict on comment moderation..
October 1, 2008 at 6:17 am
Comentomania
October 1, 2008 at 2:56 pm
237 at this present moment, the power of Apple..
October 1, 2008 at 6:28 am
White Mac Book. I don’t like air.
October 1, 2008 at 6:34 am
ok, guess it is time for me to actually start reading and paying attention instead of just looking… great contest, think I would have to go with the macbook air (assuming the new macbook pro’s are coming out in less than a month, course no body knows). Great contest.
October 1, 2008 at 7:39 am
Hahha, its really hard to win a comment contest here even for a day. I mean comments really around over a hundred oftentimes and its a mixture of luck and “hail mary” prayer… Well if I would have the laptop then I could probably now look at my adwords account more often! Im a college student and was always surprised w/my adwords details after I got home. I cant really much observe it that much…
October 1, 2008 at 2:56 pm
If I won a Apple I would probably never let go of it, hell I don’t know how Shoe can give them away.
October 1, 2008 at 7:42 am
but w/regards to the question, I’ll take the white one.,.. everyone wants the air and I hate mainstream..
October 1, 2008 at 7:47 am
No question about it, I would go for the air. Looks way better.
October 1, 2008 at 8:18 am
I’m actually a PC girl (don’t shoot me) BUT willing to give Mac a go.
And what better way to being converted than with a free Mac?
October 1, 2008 at 8:27 am
I would go with the Macbook just to get the bells and whistles rather than ultra-portable.
October 1, 2008 at 10:24 am
Ya man. You get so much more and it isn’t that much bigger than the Apple Air.
October 1, 2008 at 8:32 am
I had my macbook, ipod and PC laptop stolen from my car a couple of months ago… it would sure be sweet to win a new laptop!
October 1, 2008 at 2:57 pm
I can imagine that being like a dream come true, although it shouldn’t have been stolen in the first place! I hate thiefs.
October 1, 2008 at 8:33 am
Technologieeeezz!
MacBook Air Please
October 1, 2008 at 8:55 am
Jeremy, it would be very funny if those would be simple empty boxes without Macs inside =]
October 1, 2008 at 8:57 am
Oh, yeah! I can just taste the Mac Air now.
October 1, 2008 at 8:58 am
I like both : )
October 1, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Who doesn’t, no honestly who doesn’t? I bet not one commentator would give two of these babies away.
October 1, 2008 at 9:02 am
Pretty sure I wouldn’t complain about either but given the choice I’d take the white MB. The Air is cool but I want something I can do all of my work on, which includes burning dvds at times.
October 1, 2008 at 9:09 am
Hook me up with that Macbook Air!
October 1, 2008 at 9:16 am
I would for sure choose the Mac Book Air! I have recently switched over to Apple.
October 1, 2008 at 9:16 am
Macbook Air please
October 1, 2008 at 9:20 am
This contest would be the perfect motivation for me to switch over to Macs. So if I win a mac book, I will switch for sure.
October 1, 2008 at 9:31 am
A white MacBook? Just for leaving a comment? Man, I’d have left a comment just for a bagel.
October 1, 2008 at 9:33 am
Nice contest! My wife just figured-out (kind of) XP – if I were to bring home a MacBook, she might cause me serious physical harm. I’d be happy to donate it to her favorite charity, though!
October 1, 2008 at 9:36 am
I’d say the MacBook Air for sure. My uncle has one and its pretty cool.
October 1, 2008 at 10:02 am
Giving away free stuff is a sure fire way to drum up comments isn’t it!?!
October 1, 2008 at 10:30 am
I’m in to win but I don’t know which I would chose!
The white MacBook makes more sense… but the air is just to freaking cool for words… aaahhh!
October 1, 2008 at 10:40 am
Shoe – get to the gym man. You’re starting to look like an internet business stereotype
October 1, 2008 at 10:40 am
I like the white, myself.
October 1, 2008 at 10:48 am
I would pick the mac book, then sell it and get a nice PC laptop! LOL… I know, I am not as hip as you mac guys!
October 1, 2008 at 10:53 am
I would choose the white mac book.
October 1, 2008 at 11:09 am
I would love to get my hands on a MacAir, the macbook is so much heavier!
October 1, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Wow even Zac Johnson is joining in, the Super Affiliate, thats how you know these prizes are good!
October 1, 2008 at 11:26 am
mac air for me please
October 1, 2008 at 11:27 am
Look at your facial expression…
Frowning when holding the black… (what’s on ur mind then)
Laughing when holding the white… (what were u thinking then)
to me, u seem comfortable with the white, so I go for the white
October 1, 2008 at 2:59 pm
The least we can do is help Shoe feel more comfortable
October 1, 2008 at 11:27 am
I’ll take the MacBook Air
October 1, 2008 at 11:44 am
I Never won anything in any contest but i still hope to win something one day. Thanks for all this things you give to the members. Regards.
October 1, 2008 at 11:45 am
I have always been a PC user and my buddy turned me on to the MacBooks after he bought an air. I will have to say MacBook Air for me please.
Thanks
October 1, 2008 at 11:52 am
Cool prizes i like the black one..one more question do you ship international ?
October 9, 2008 at 4:58 am
I’m sure Jeremy does ship International.
October 1, 2008 at 11:54 am
I’ll take the MacBook air… k, thanks.
October 1, 2008 at 12:12 pm
As of now, definitely the air (mostly because I already have a desktop pc), for portability.
October 1, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Mmh, I couldn’t post my comment.
Let’s try again, I am all for the air !
October 1, 2008 at 12:15 pm
This is my last concern, which one to chose.
October 1, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Can siblings win?
White plz. k thx bye
October 1, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Macbook Air for me.
October 1, 2008 at 1:00 pm
I’d go for the white macbook
and I think it’s about time you start sending me some hardware 
October 1, 2008 at 1:06 pm
I do a lot of web design i would enjoy the Mac Book Pro…The air is a wonderful laptop but I like durability and the White Mac book it the ticket….
October 1, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Haha… would love a chance to win something
I’d throw my hat in for a macbook. That would be very knarly indeed.
October 1, 2008 at 1:13 pm
if i were to pick i’d go for the The Macbook Air…
October 1, 2008 at 1:42 pm
I don’t travel often, so I’d go for the white MacBook … but if I was on the road, the MacBook AIR would be a must.
October 1, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Don’t know Shoe. I’ll decide when I win
October 1, 2008 at 2:14 pm
that just makes my day, and doubles my odds of winning!
October 1, 2008 at 2:17 pm
AIR!
October 1, 2008 at 2:18 pm
The other half says “White”. It`ll go with a certain T-shirt that she`s Claimed
October 1, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Id have to go Air, slightly bigger screen, and i can cut things with it
October 1, 2008 at 2:54 pm
I will be happy with anyone of the 2
come on guys pray for me so that I can win a T-shirt first.Then I will have the chance to win one of them
October 1, 2008 at 2:58 pm
easy travel with the air or which ever one I win. Thanks. keep up the great posts
October 1, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Soo many comments its messed the theme up, get on the phone to UBD!
October 1, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Macbook Air ftw! if you really really need an optical drive, use the external USB one.
October 1, 2008 at 4:26 pm
You shouldn’t really have to buy extra products on top of an already expensive laptop though should you.
October 9, 2008 at 4:55 am
Well you should buy warranty and accessories to keep your laptop safe and a notebook case to carry it around.
October 1, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Both of them are a great prize. I would take either of them.
October 1, 2008 at 4:24 pm
That seems to be quite a common thought among commentators
October 9, 2008 at 4:56 am
I know, even I posted this and noticed a lot of other commentators posted it too.
October 1, 2008 at 4:09 pm
hey, i would chose the mac air.
October 1, 2008 at 4:12 pm
I would have to say hands down the macbook air!!! It is just so much cooler than a regular macbook in my opinion. Although you look a little more enthusiastic about the regular than the air!
October 1, 2008 at 4:16 pm
I’ve been posting forever but never won…Hopefully one of these days my luck will improve
October 1, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Don’t worry about it, one day your hard work will pay off, one day. The only problem is Shoemoney is so popular that the odds get lower and lower everyday.
October 9, 2008 at 4:55 am
That’s true. I just entered and a lot more people are entering too. Just think of this as a reward for being an active member here at ShoeMoney.
October 1, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Definitely the Macbook Air because you look like you don’t want to give it away or is that a game face? Other than that, I know it’s sleek, light on the lap, and can get the job done.
October 1, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Jeremy,
I would vote for the MacBook if I won, the Mac Air is cool but not enough ports for my accessories without additional hassles.
Is there any way I could write a technical review of the MacBook, and receive a review copy with a long return cycle….?
Just wondering! Great post, hope someone new to the
Blog-O-Sphere wins, like me?
Respectfully, Nicholas – ‘the video guy’ from BlogWorld Expo 2008
October 1, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Are you kidding?!!!! I would be happy with either one! Would prefer optical drive I think though.
October 1, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Jeremy,
I’m currently unemployed, so the MacBook Pro would help me to blog even bloggier, and make enough revenue from my blogs to buy a Mac Air and donate it to the next contest on Shoemoney.com. !!!
OK, OK? I really would become the bloggiest blogger that ever blogged a blogging blog, for real !
Respectfully,
Nicholas ‘bloggiest-blogger’ Chase – ‘ the video guy’ from BlogWorld Expo 2008
October 1, 2008 at 4:49 pm
I won a shoe shirt!!!! I never win everything so I was happy about that!
October 2, 2008 at 12:22 pm
don’t worry dear…..some time u will be the one….
October 1, 2008 at 4:51 pm
My boyfriend has been raving about shoemoney for ages now so i thought i should check it out for myself.
I was just saying to him this evening about how i wanted a mac….sounds like destiny to me.
Liz
October 9, 2008 at 4:54 am
Well god luck with this Liz! Many will enter, and only two shall win.
October 1, 2008 at 5:03 pm
ahhhh Air Book!!! is it 5 minutes before midnite yet??
October 1, 2008 at 5:13 pm
that air has my name written all over it!
October 9, 2008 at 4:53 am
Are you sure? It must be written in invisible ink then.
October 1, 2008 at 5:50 pm
the air
October 1, 2008 at 5:53 pm
Bigger question really is do you really want to me using a MAC? Everyone has their own opinion and it seems as though the 2 people yourself and John Chow are finally converting over to MAC from PC’s…always been a PC guy but that might be a sign it is time to move on.
October 9, 2008 at 4:53 am
Perhaps you can use both. Or even through in Linux.
October 1, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Enter me for either one
October 1, 2008 at 7:04 pm
I don’t want none of them
October 1, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Hi Jeremy,
I would choose the Air over the Macbook due to the extreme portability and my workflow:
I have done video and audio podcasts primarily for iTunes U and as of late I had to forego video all together because it became an increasingly painful experience (too slow, audio & video sync problems, etc). Plus, I can’t use the newer iLife package since it needs an Intel processor.
I’ve been working on a six year old Powerbook G4 (titanium 1ghz, USB 1.0, 802.11b, broken firewire) that has been with me since my Sophomore year of College.
Needless to say, I would enjoy either the Macbook Air or the white Macbook.
I hope this helps.
(presently typing on borrowed laptop since Claudia -my Powerbook- is busy restoring from a backup in USB 1.0). =(
Does anyone else feel my pain? It’s time to say Claudia goodbye and embrace the advancements in technology over the past 6 years!
October 1, 2008 at 7:22 pm
Wow, lots of comments here!
My wife has a white Macbook and it’s fantastic. That’s the one I would opt for.
October 1, 2008 at 9:10 pm
I prefer the black one.
Hard to get faded and worn out.
I mean the color…
October 1, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Awesome newsletter on blog monetization…saving it to refer to. Thanks!
October 1, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Sounds like a contest I would like to win! I’d like both personally, but who wouldn’t. Johnny Cash Style–Black!

October 9, 2008 at 4:52 am
Everyone would like to win this contest. Good luck!
October 1, 2008 at 9:44 pm
Ohh a macbook air would be sweet. My Mac Book pro is just too big and bulky for traveling. On my flight back from Ad tech, some lady complained that the movie I was watching (Superbad) was offensive. A Mac book air would change my life!
October 1, 2008 at 10:04 pm
I’d say the AIR. extreme portability compared to the laptop I lug around now.
October 9, 2008 at 4:51 am
I would choose the Air because of portability too.
October 1, 2008 at 10:32 pm
I would go for the Macbook Air
Such a wonderful giveaway, hope this budding grad student gets this Macbook Air!
October 1, 2008 at 11:39 pm
That AIr would be sweet for road use. The Pismo is getting quite dated.
October 2, 2008 at 12:34 am
What’s your choice, Jeremy? I mean from 2 Macs.
October 2, 2008 at 1:53 am
he ll take air … m i right geremy ?
October 2, 2008 at 1:11 am
lucky teraom won the Mac for Oct 1… oh well… It’s Oct 2 now, new odds for the rest of us… =)
October 2, 2008 at 1:45 am
Shoemoney want to give laptop..
AWESOME!!..
I want one..
October 2, 2008 at 2:38 am
if i get this price i will be thank full to you…any way i am trying my luck to win a macbook air and conforms my mind that i participated in this contest
thank you shomoney.com
October 2, 2008 at 2:58 am
I CHANGED MY AVATOR
October 2, 2008 at 3:36 am
I prefer Macbook Air
October 2, 2008 at 5:46 am
I’ll take either!!! give me! give me!! .. pretty please
But ya seriuosly I’d go the Macbook! FTW!
October 2, 2008 at 6:14 am
well i thing macbook air is good for me its a unique one and its too light to use.
October 2, 2008 at 10:38 am
I like the white macbook personally, apple computers and white go hand in hand in my opinion! Gl with the contest to everyone
October 2, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Long time reader, first time commenter. I would love to get my hands on that AIR. Are computers becoming more like sneakers? I can’t wait until Apple starts making basketball shoes. Air Jobs, anyone? Air Force Woz?
Thanks for the great content on shoemoney.com!
October 9, 2008 at 4:50 am
Glad to see a first time commentor here, welcome back and good luck with this drawing!
October 2, 2008 at 12:46 pm
I prefer the Mac Book Air!
October 2, 2008 at 1:30 pm
i would go for the Air, save up for the battery to be replaced….but it would be nice to travel with
October 9, 2008 at 4:49 am
Yes, that’s the major benefit of the MacBook Air. It’s simple, light weight, and easy to carry around. Unfortunately it’s size can make it an easy target for thieves to steal it.
October 2, 2008 at 1:33 pm
White MacBook, I prefer. Thanks for asking!
October 2, 2008 at 2:08 pm
ohh i want one!
October 2, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Why did jordan air shoes become so popular.
Because of the Air.
Now its mac air all the way. What better way for me to break it faster by dropping it.
October 9, 2008 at 4:48 am
Yes it could break easily and that’s why you should get warranty for it.
October 2, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Wow, giving a new laptop away. Awesome.
October 2, 2008 at 4:44 pm
MacBook Air is the best
October 2, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Consider me in. I also signed up for the newsletter and look forward to seeing what you have to say.
October 2, 2008 at 6:27 pm
I would take the White macbook because Well who really needs an air. I already have an Ipod and it fits in my pocket not an envelope.
October 9, 2008 at 4:47 am
I’ve signed up for the newsletter as well. Jeremy is really helping us by offering all these freebies. Even if I don’t win a MacBook or MacBook Air, the knowledge I’ve obtained from here is invaluable.
October 2, 2008 at 6:35 pm
i don’t need neighter one of them… if i win this contest i will donate the macbook
October 2, 2008 at 6:57 pm
if i win, i get mac air, love it so much, just couldn’t afford it.
October 2, 2008 at 9:33 pm
wow wow.. this is awesome..
but i am just too lazy to register at anything at all time..
good luck for the winners….
i just like reading haah
October 9, 2008 at 4:47 am
Just leave some comments here and you never know, you might just win. Remember, the drawing is random.
October 3, 2008 at 12:47 am
I think it would be hard for me to choose between those two laptops. The drawback to the macbook air is that it doesn’t come with a internal cd drive. But other than that its pretty sweet. I’ve been wanting a laptop for a while now to bring to school, but I just don’t have the money to get one. My imac g4 is on the verge of crashing, and a new computer would be great.
October 3, 2008 at 5:35 am
Blask one is the good one for my opinion. Man! Thats great…
October 9, 2008 at 4:46 am
I believe you meant to say “Black” instead of “Blask”.
October 3, 2008 at 6:28 am
MacBook AIR!
October 3, 2008 at 7:52 am
I got my wife the MacBook for xmas and this would be for me so I would go with the Air — just a really cool wow factor with that thing
October 9, 2008 at 4:45 am
Yes it would be nice owning a MacBook Air. I think your wife would want to switch notebooks with you though, LOL.
October 3, 2008 at 12:11 pm
I think they are both pritty sweet!
October 9, 2008 at 4:45 am
I agree, both are really great laptops. I would be happy if I won any of them.
October 3, 2008 at 4:19 pm
I have never won a grand prize in any contest before, so i would count my least chances here too!
Anyways just for the sake of luck i am contesting.
October 9, 2008 at 4:43 am
Yes we shouldn’t get too disappointed about not winning. There will be a lot of people entering and the chances of you winning are very slim so you shouldn’t really be expecting to win. Just participate like a regular reader and contribute here, and you may just win. If you don’t then it’s okay you haven’t lost anything,.
October 3, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Both the laptops are supercool.
This contest is based on both luck and hard work.
October 3, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Unfortunately I aint got any luck
October 9, 2008 at 4:44 am
Well then you’ll have to contribute a lot here in order to have a chance at winning.
October 4, 2008 at 12:21 am
I LOVE to have one of that laptop ,I don’t have pc here, just posting from cafe….
October 4, 2008 at 3:49 am
Go Air for sure. poor jobocks.com needs some support
October 4, 2008 at 6:32 am
I like the white Macbook
October 5, 2008 at 10:05 pm
hmmm, I’d probably go air, but that’s because I already have powerbook pro 17 and an ibook 12…. just would like an intel mac finally LOL
In regards to following your comments, there is a tool called cocomment http://www.cocmment.com that keeps track of where you comment so you can go back and see other replies. I use it all the time. Absolutely no relationship with the company, just very happy user.

October 8, 2008 at 7:01 am
I would go for mac book air
October 8, 2008 at 12:38 pm
I NEED THE MACBOOK AIR PLEASE GVE ME IT….
October 9, 2008 at 4:41 am
The drawing is completely random. Begging won’t help, but actively participating and posting helpful comments will increase your chances of winning.
October 9, 2008 at 4:40 am
I’d be happy if I got either one of those. It would be really nice to own a MacBook Air though. I’ve used Windows all my life and getting a MAC would mean I can finally learn how to make iPhone Apps!
October 11, 2008 at 5:49 am
Doesn’t everyone wanna win an Apple goodie!
Man i’d even be happy with a new headphone for my stinky iPod cause the things break all the time. But i must admit i prefer a sweet 13″ Macbook it almost as big as my iPod anyway xD
keep ‘em comin Shoe!
October 11, 2008 at 2:53 pm
The Air wins for me- hands down. I’m going on a trip in ten days & the Air would be a perfect companion. Here’s hoping!
October 12, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Beggers can’t be choosers. I’d take either. I’ve never had a MAC so I’d test drive either. All donations are appreciated. It it is crash proof, I’m in. We have 4 laptops and they all crash. I’d love to be in a no crash zone for once.
Ginger
October 18, 2008 at 4:21 am
have seen the steve jobs video on macbook air
its really damn cool
bored of my lenovo lapi
October 18, 2008 at 5:30 pm
well for the sake of ‘class’ the air is sweet but productivity the white one is ‘gold’
October 20, 2008 at 9:26 am
I prefer the Black Macbook Air
October 21, 2008 at 8:01 am
I think the Mac Book air is more expensive for its technical features, anymore i prefer the classic version.
October 21, 2008 at 6:48 pm
I want the Black Macbook Air
October 22, 2008 at 8:10 am
The black one’s cool. I’d even prefer a grey one.
October 22, 2008 at 9:59 am
The black one… love that one… but I can see myself with both
October 22, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Hey, yo, what up?
Hook it up with them both and I’ll shout it out on my album.
xD
Aight, peace!

I am not Mac man, but am willing to convert! I guess the Macbook because the Air being light, means it does left stuff. Right?
