Brainstorming Session for Editorial Award
Ok Thoughts readers, it's your chance to help shape a new feature on the site! We want to add an editorial award for hardware and software products that meet our criteria for being great products, and great value for the money. Here's the million-dollar question:
What do we call the award?
Ideally it would have something to do with the whole "thoughts" idea, because this award will be given on other Thoughts Media sites (yes, more are coming). We don't want to have something boring like an "Editors Choice Award". My all-time favourite computer magazine is Maximum PC, and they give out "Kick Ass" awards to top products. I want to have something in the same vein - something interesting and fun! Got any ideas? The person who comes up with the idea that we pick will be given a limited-edition Pocket PC Thoughts micro-light. Ohh! Ahh!
UPDATE: Posts that are edited will be disqualified from winning the light. If you have another idea, post another message. Thanks!

Well, I'm european, english is not my main language , but this sounds cool imo :
The Think Big - Award ... although that may come too close to Think Different...but at least it's got the thought (think) idea in it...
A great award for the more crappy products would be the 'Thoughtless' award

To play off the 'thoughts' thing, why not the Heart awards? Heart and Mind.
Of course, the Muse awards would tie to that too.
Or something with a little more jazz...
The Eureka! awards!
eu�re�ka ( P ) Pronunciation Key (y-rk)
interj.
Used to express triumph upon finding or discovering something.
Kinda fits what the award would be given for, doesn't it?

Something simple like "PPC Thoughtful Award."
Or you can be a little nutty like me and have a "Bust a Blood Vessel Award."
Or "I'm Glad They Thought of That Award" or better abbreviated as "IGTTOT Award."
How about "Thought-Out Award?"
"That's Thinking Award"
"I Think Therefore I Award"
"I Thought I Thaw a Putty That Award"
I'm glad someone explained was "NYIDTOT Virtual Display" actually stood for: "Now 'Y' Didn't I Think of That." Prior to then, I had a hell of a time pronouncing it.
That "Deep Thoughts" entry reminds me of the SNL Jack Handy skits... hehehe :lol:
