You got me.

Here's my scale of response to the different levels of cheating I've read here:

1. multiple votes via botnet = "g***** f****** cheaters!"
2. multiple votes via juggling many proxies = "pathetic! you got enough time for that??"
3. multiple votes via multiple devices & connections = "show off!"
4. multiple votes via 1 browser on 1 ip = "it doesn't work, Ossi."

So, I've lowered my assessment to threat level 3 and it's all good

ONWARD! TO 52 MILLION!!

Nice Assessment, but you forgot one

6. Cheaters masquarading as cheaters on rival forums to discredit honest voting :- way too deep.

This was never ever more than a game. And as a game with equal rules on all sides, the victory stands IMHO.

mr_bridger (the OP) started this thread at that time thus reversed the result. Had we not acknowledged of the ballot N900 would have lost in semi-final.

All hail to mr_bridger

From the above links:
"Update: It's a tie... I can't watch this!

Update 2: I watched... THE PAIN! we're losing!"

We are fast!

Thanks again mr_bridger.

And what did your colleagues say about using a defeated iPhone
for multiple voting?

Btw tor ( http://www.torproject.org/index.html.en )
is quite fun for multiple voting/changing the IP.

Well, I just don't tell them lol. Use it then clean the caches and browser history

wiped everything including their existing histories.

Worth the risk though lol.
