How do you become a Beta Tester for software or hardware?

The first question is "Why would anyone want to be a Beta tester?"

It also takes away from your personal time, that and you can't make any real money doing it. Then, in most cases, you can't even tell anyone you are a tester.

So why is it that when a company that puts out a beta test tons of people clamor to become testers?

Help customize your own community site

I blog on new and interesting things in the technology world. But I would be remiss in not talking about this site you are on right now.
