DARN IT! Hitting "Cancel" should not invalidate your WHOLE POST if you're making an edit! Well, forget it, Gawker, I am not spending another 20 minutes crafting that wonderfully cogent counterargument all over again. Boo-urns! BOO-URNS!

While it seems great on the surface for everyone's fave news org to sloth off the yolk of Republican bellyaching, I can't say I agree. The fact is, pulling the plug on government dollars would reduce the reach of NPR — as well as, more importantly, reduce their mandate to reach out to audiences that can't afford to…
The design has real potential. I think the deeper, more significant issue — beyond the sort of griping every site experiences with a redesign — was the frustrating delays, slowdowns, crashes, and lack of commenting functionality.
Oh I always knew we're peons here — class distain/envy is baked into Gawker's DNA! — but it would have been nice if they had held off on the launch till the damn code was cleaned up.
Yes, the comments comments are surprising. How did Denton think his readers were managing to respond to other comments on their posts? We're not bookmarking everything we write on here.
Seriously, what happened to cross promotion? Bad enough they're at the bottom. Maybe Denton plans to roll Gawker.TV into the main site like Defamer and Valleywag now that he's fixated on visual content.
I am grasping onto this new scrollbar like a drowning man adrift in a sea of wobbly content boxes. If I had a tough time navigating this sucker on an advanced machine using a university connection, I can't image the frustration of those poor Gawker commentators trapped out in the Internet backwaters written about in…
Alright, my car's covered in a 6 inch sheet of ice. Get on it, kid.
@i'm a bottle: Wow, you nailed it. His whole attitude towards life, relationships, authority, etc., is strangely adolescent.
@coodgenducta: Probably also illegal to game the system. Doubt who would do that would have any serious qualms about reselling tix.
@Trolland Rhodes: Or he's a Silicon Valley geekazoid more interesting in getting published in Wired and ruining the fun for everyone who doesn't run a lucrative high-tech consulting firm.
@DJack2673: Win.
This is a strangely gossipy piece for something written by the wife of a Economics Nobelist and distributed by Reuters, isn't it?
@BitchyD: You've got to admit she's pretty extreme. Extreme to the point where I (and clearly others) worry about the mental health of her children — as well as the health of others with mothers like her. I've known many children of first-generation immigrants and seen the complete lack of self-worth these sorts of…
@BitchyD: People are mad because she threated to burn her children's toys, denied them food and bathroom breaks until they could master a complicated musical piece, threw a homemade birthday card in their face for not being good enough and called them garbage to their faces. She systematically denied them playdates,…
@Number 6: Called it! [www.nytimes.com]
@Charlie Jane Anders: Seriously, I think it's a real testiment to how horrible the 4th Batman movie was that no one remembers Bane was even in that film.
Could it all be part of a plan to shed Google's increasingly stodgy image? Sergey Brin is calm, cool, collected and vaguely Eurpeon. (Well, Russian, really.) Schmidt, in addition to being named Schmidt, sort of looks like Mr. Mackey from South Park.
