The Giveaway page from Facebook doesn't seem to redirect properly. I hope the giveaway isn't US only. I've already been mad at Intel for launching socket 1155 a few months after I bought a 1156 based system.
Why are all contests US / Canada only? Here is a brief T&C from the contest :
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Giveaway (Weeks 1-3) Ends 12/4/11, subject to Entry Periods. Contest (Week 4), ends 12/15/11. Giveaway and Contest are; (a) subject to full official rules available at www.poweredbyintel.com; (b) open to legal residents of the 50 US, DC and Canada (excluding residents of Quebec), at least 18 years of age or age of majority in province/territory of residence at time of entry; and (c) void where prohibited. The Giveaway and Contest are in no way sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Facebook. You understand that you are providing your information to Intel Corporation and not to Facebook. The information you provide will be used for purposes of selecting and notifying prize winners. Official Rules. Privacy Policy.
They are trying to double the 'sales' figures I suspect. How could such an elegant chip turn out to be such a piece of bloat even though the graphics portion was chopped off ?

Finally started working for me. Had to wait (like 5 minutes) for a popup asking me if I wanted to display non-secure items.Golgatha - Monday, November 14, 2011 - link
I'm surprised it displayed anything at all. Isn't everything on Facebook a non-secured item?IsDanReally - Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - link
