This week's prize is of the pick-your-own variety. We're giving away a $250 gift certificate from online retailer Rakuten.com Shopping. The site, formerly Buy.com, sells millions upon millions of products -- from clothes, shoes, jewelry, and toys to televisions, laptops, printers, hard drives, routers, and video games. The winner's free to buy anything, but let's not kid ourselves: we know any CNET reader will probably head straight to the Electronics tab.
