I have no problem with Giz telling the truth, or even expressing bias. I do take issue with publishing of incorrect information that isn't bias, but merely a non-story that continues to be a non-story after reality is shed.
I don't care if you love Apple, or hate Apple, as long as your bias is expressed factually, cogently, and with enough information to be convincing.
If it is an opinion piece, then it should be clearly noted as such.
However articles such as yesterday's "Was A mac used to design Windows 8?" that takes Gizmodo something close to 16 hours to correct is...well... Clickwhoring at best. or is the #Corrections tag no longer being used?
I'm sorry that I called out Andrew on it in the manner I did, but getting angry at your community when they correct you makes no sense if you're trying to actually create a community. Which, at one point that WAS the intent of Giz. If you're just going to spew forth inaccuracies as fast as possible at least bring Joel back. His rants were fun to read, even when you knew he was baiting you.
I don't need both sides, I just need Giz to be fun again. This place used to be far more informative, and far less angry. Our lives are negative enough right now. I don't need someone to tell me I'm a corporate cocksucker because I disagree with them.
This is why I want to Tokyo someday... An entire city of people do pop, lock, and do the robot all day! Well OK, maybe only late at night... #whitenoise
But can you dance in them? #whitenoise

Just make sure you choose unleaded...
It's basically a given. I've got a circa 2006 Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro myself, and my Mac Mini is now out in the cold as well.
As weirdly frustrating it can seem, we are talking about machines more than 4+ years old and I can appreciate that Apple is willing to cut loose dead weight from its coding structure.
Who eats New York style pizza with a plate?
Let's see... That's not the Microsoft campus. Look out the window... Does that look like the Microsoft Campus to you? Secondly, as I said previously, this photo was taken AFTER he'd left Microsoft and started his own company. However neither CoM nor Gizmodo seems interested in any kind of accuracy of reporting.
Oh, wait, it's an article by Andrew. Nevermind...
Let's see... LED Bulb above... 5 Watts. Halogen bulb here... 29 Watts.
LEDs are DC-only devices. The heat comes from the conversion of AC to DC and stepping up the voltage.
Yet they never updated their story... Probably because it makes it a non-story...
Uh, Giz... You DO realize that photo wasn't taken at Microsoft, but after he left MS to start his own company right?
From Fall of 2009 until spring 2011.
My problem is I don't even get a strong enough 3G signal in my home on N. Beacon Hill to make a fucking phone call, let alone use data services.
I lived on Vashon for a couple of years. I actually had full service Data/Voice on the ferry at all times.
I find it interesting that apps have to ask my permission to locate me, but my address book is wide-open...
Maybe the people left at Apple are all just corporate cocksuckers at heart who don't care?
As for the off-centered 1? It actually looks like they included the serif when centering... Which, if you want something to look truly centered, would be correct. Had that dot not been under it, you'd probably never know.
The sloppiest thing that Apple has done that I can see is the removal of the Edge software switch on the iPhone 4S. I get great edge reception at my house, and spotty 3G at best. Keep in mind I live within 5 minutes of Downtown Seattle. My phone is fucking useless as a phone unless I can catch it during a brief moment it has flipped over to edge.
Seriously, I work in Downtown Seattle, and I can fucking see my house from here...
So, my only fucking option is to spend $200 for a goddamn box that makes me use MY internet service to get phone service.
Just gonna park this here. #whitenoise
On the other hand, they could just use a bit of Steve Jobs's ashes and hope that the reality distortion field is intact after his death.
