Como anunciado e ansiosamente aguardado o Gizmodo entrou hoje no Brasil. Obviamente caso seja mantida a qualidade editorial e a monstruosidade do irmão (ou pai?) americano, a concorrência na área de tecnologia que já era acirrada irá se tornar mortal. Apenas os fortes sobreviverão? Eu acredito que exista espaço e como no mundo comercial, [...]
While most bloggers at Gizmodo use Mac, Adam Frucci remains a loyal Windows XP fan and has no plans of switching over to a Mac.Adam shares an interesting reason why he prefers Windows over a Mac – he loves Bill Gates more than Steve Jobs.“I like the soon-to-be-retired Bill Gates way more than Steve Jobs, because the guy cares about more than just making enough money to build a castle for himse

We all know that the 3G iPhone is going to be fast, and that it will be running on AT&T’s HSDPA network. There are varying levels of HSDPA speed though, and in all fairness as opposed to overseas deployments, AT&T has a very slow network. This will of course limit speed the iPhone can achieve [...]
People love mockups of products, especially Apple products, and especially real-looking Apple products that they can delude themselves into believing are real. Who are we to argue with such desires? In order to help you all make the best, most realistic Apple fakes possible, we had our super-talented Artistic Intern Logan Lape make a DIY Apple Product Mockup Kit. Essentially, it's a Photoshop file
Gizmodo is reporting that they’ve got reports from sources very, very close to the 3G iPhone that it is to be launched June 9th, 2008.
Gizmodo writes:
We all suspected it, but now it is confirmed: someone very, very close to the 3G iPhone launch has told me that Apple will announce their new model at the [...]

O site da revista INFO informa que o portal Gizmodo terá uma versão em português.
E, que a gigante da comunicação, a CBS, comprou o grupo de sites de tecnologia CNET por US$ 1,8 bilhão.
Trying to find out if would-be Mac clone maker Psystart in legit or not, Gizmodo readers went to the two addresses identified by the Guardian’s Charles Arthur (see below). As Arthur predicted, one address is a single-story home, and the other address is a warehouse, but it’s home to a completely different company.
The Gizmodo reader, [...]
We decided to remove Gizmodo.com from our list of RSS news feeds today. It's not that we don't enjoy much of the content we discover there -- it's just that a lot of kids read MacBigot.com, and, though it hasn't been very strictly enforced, most of the relationships we have with vendors, advertisers, hosted services, etc. come with guidelines about profanity and lewd imagery.Unfortunately, the big 'G' dropped the big 'F' -- in an article title today, no less -- and as the cable company commercial says, "We're going to have to block you." You see, those article titles show up on our page -- whether or not you bother to click through to read one of the posts behind them. And that's not a compromise we're willing to make, because if I can't read it out loud to a coworker or 'offline buddy'
Hoje decidi fazer um post com conteúdo diferente, mas sempre dentro contexto do blog, que é acima de tudo qualidade.
Vou fazer um resumo traduzido, de um artigo do site Wired, sobre a história dos dois blogs mais conhecidos, respeitados e conceituados do mundo, que rivalizam entre si: Engadget e o Gizmodo.
There's a story in Wired about your favorite gadget blog. It's a feature and as you can see, on top of the writing the photography is bad ass.
Joe Pugliese, the same guy who shot El Jobso minutes after his iPhone announcement, shot me, Adrian and Chris in my apartment. I love this place, but as you can see in the not too different from real life shot, it makes for cramped conditions and I'm moving today. Ya, I'm still packing too, because someone broke the embargo on the Dash GPS and Wilson and I had to hustle to get a review together. Anyhow, I am digressing like mad because I've been up 20 hours so far, and the day is not close to being over.
This piece is kind of strange and meta because before I worked at Giz, I worked at Wired, where I was low man on the totem pole. I really learned a
So, a lot of bloggers are criticizing Gizmodo for pulling off this badass prank at CES. Crunchgear said blah blah blah, John Chow, who I normally respect big time says this gives bloggers blah blah blah, Crave
Here are Gizmodo's Greatest Hits 2007, the most popular stories, the best of the best in a single bubblelicious list full of gadgets, juicy industry happenings, in-deep reviews, shocking tech news, weird war planes, and Star Wars... etc...
Here's the problem with Black Friday. Other than the one of two clearly awesome deals per store, it's tough to know if standing your butt in the cold all night will actually save your more money than doing some online comparison shopping from the comfort of your own, very warm home. But the truth is, Black Friday does have incredible deals and it can save you hundreds of dollars on big ticket electronics—if you play your cards right.
Quizás pusimos la noticia antes que ellos cogiendo como fuente a UneasySilence, pero con la maestía con que han hecho el grafico de la misma noticia… es digno de abalanza, por eso nos quitamos el sombrero…¡son asombrosos!

It turns out Gizmodo's Brian Lam is quite the jackass. First he posts a video to his website showing off the gigantic package of goodies Microsoft sent him for free, including a new Xbox 360 Halo console, the Halo 3 Legendary Edition with Spartan Helmet, two controllers, action figures, Microsoft point cards, personalized dog tags and army bag, etc. etc. There is a ton of stuff Microsoft shipped to select media to promote Halo 3, probably worth $1000 or more.So Brian Lam posts a video of him opening the bag and showing off the goodies. Except he takes each item out and throws them across the room. Expensive electronics, to less expensive items, he wings them off like a five year old getting clothes for Christmas. At one point he opens the media kit, which contains two DVD's, and he says, "I'm not going to watch this," and throws it across the room. I wasn't the only person getting a little pissed at how arrogant he appeared, for the Gizmodo comments section started to fill up with
I have been reading Gizmodo for about the last three years. It has been my #1 stop for all gadget related news. Back when I started Joel Johnson was writing the posts and he did a damn good job of it. He covered gadgets that I was interested in and he had a great sense of humor. Just as Gizmodo started to blow up some kind of drama went down and Joel was forced to leave. I stuck with Gizmodo as they made it big and hired an entire team of writers to cover the gadget world. They still do a great job but lately it just hasn’t been the same. These guys are posting machines probably averaging, I would guess, about 40 posts a day. That is great but on any given day there are only maybe 15 that I am really interested in. The rest of it is just a bunch of crap. I had added Gizmodo to the RSS reader on my Blackberry but after a few days of going through posts I didn’t care about I had to remove it.
Luckily for me my man Joel Johnson popped his head up over at Boing Boing and became
If you think you can do what the Gizmodo bloggers do - posting short but very hot gadget news several times a day, then you might want to apply as a gadget blogger here.
All you have to have is a flexible schedule and sheer passion for what else but techie gadgets. Here are the specifics of the posting requirements:
It’s a daily posting job and you must write a minimum of 13 posts per day on weekdays, and a minimum of 6 posts every weekend, we’re talking about simple posts, like the ones you can see on Gizmodo for instance, not 3000-word original articles. Plus, 6 posts at least must be written and published from 8am-9am to 12pm EST on weekdays only.
How much is the salary? $500 and more if you can make the blog grow. By the way, don’t forget to mention that you got it from FloodofDollars.com since I may also earn $50 as a referral reward if you get hired.
Here’s more about making money online as tech blogger.

Violet Blue should have someone other than the SF Chronicles to battle over biased anti-porn slanting this week. Pulling a Ted Haggard, Joel Johnson of Gizmodo takes out the whip and chain on gadget whoring."These guys want me to write a weekly column, but I hate consumer electronics, I hate marketing, and I hate you people, because you're all so dumb. If you're lucky and I need the money, I will. I gave up two years of my life writing about gadgets for this site. Waking up every morning at 5 AM, chewing up press releases to find the rare morsel of legitimate information, chasing down "hot tips" that ended up being photochops of iPods with reflections of genitals in the touchscreens."Taking it from behind the computer screen, Joel puts his finger in our face to smell. Despite the fact that he is/"was" a gadget whore, is being paid by gadget whores, and frankly wouldn't be around unless there were gadgets to feed him and Gizmodo in the first place, he now denounces the techsluts. Oh
Gizmodo has a short article about a patent that was recently filed about a Personal TV Censor. They were responding to an article on Arstechnica about it. Gizmodo has it's pluses, but one thing that bothers me about the site is their use of foul language. I even wrote the editor a couple of months ago about it, and I received a polite response about how the idea of blogging is the freedom of speech. I don't think having a potty mouth is justified in the name of "freedom of speech". It doesn't add value to the article or review. And if anything, it takes away from it. The attitude toward foul language, and the people who don't care for it, is evident in this article.Adam Frucci writes "It's not gonna help you when some naked man ### is shown on a gritty cop drama, but you could always just grow a pair and not be so easily offended."This world is going down hill quick, and particularly this country (USA), because of attitudes like this. People are losing respect for each oth
