Well the article states that " Wanting to share with her friends and family the little life that had come and gone, Heather Walker posted the photos to her Facebook profile. A tiny newborn in a knit hat, without a knit hat, in his mother's arms, in his father's. All perfectly appropriate birthday images."

It's because shes been marketed as zany and "approachable". The optimistic nerd figures that when approached she'd be much less likely to hurl acid on him than....lets say some uppity blond bombshell.

"I've been trying not to jump on the bandwagon of Gizmodo hate thats been going on but its really difficult not to do so when you guys post shit like this."

It's one of the many UN FUNNY iterations of the wildly popular video " shit girls say". I'd definitely recommend giving the original a watch if you ACTUALLY want to see some real comedy.

Exactly. So many marketing mistakes It's unbelievable. I can't help but shake my head remembering that whole racist ad controversy over their "white is coming " psp promo. Seriously? No one caught that before it hit bill boards?!....You've got to be kidding me.

I see what you're saying. It definitely seems like a huge case of mismanagement where projects end up costing way more than anticipated and designers are pushed to create the next big thing when the smaller things aren't even selling. The company also seems to be spread rather thin and lacks the managerial resources…

I think that the company just needs to make it's prices match it's current popularity, at least until it strengthens it's consumer base. Many of their products are up to 50% more expensive than comparable alternatives simply because they hold the Sony brand. Why would the average consumer pay $400 more for a VAIO that…

I can totally relate! I had the very same issue with a Sony phone I purchased in 06. The design was great and it had tons of features, the only problem was that the software was extremely buggy. The glitches ended up being bad enough for them to issue a recall for all the phones of the series i'd purchased.

These are really good suggestions. Hell, they would have made a better article than the single tip the original writer painfully stretched into 5 paragraphs.

I think that people are complaining because (as many have mentioned) the article fails to deliver "17 Brilliant 3D photographs". Hell it barely delivers 5 Brilliant 3D photographs.

For all the people (like my self) who are wondering if they're just unable to see the effect, here is a site that has a LOT of great examples of what these photos were trying to achieve.

They totally took him from Mr Bean to Steven Seagal!

I encourage everyone to read the NY times article THEMSELVES before forming any opinions. It is FAR from properly summarized in this article.

If you can even FIND a pay phone. Most of the phone booths of my childhood have long since been gutted.

It sounds like you're explaining the typical I-max experience in my town. Tickets run about $17 but it's worth the extra money because you're guaranteed a good seat, the service is great and the auditoriums are always clean.

I see where you're coming from, but it seems to me that by making 2d and 3d prices equal the movie makers will no longer be under pressure to become well versed in "The language of creating 3d". Why would they take the extra time if people will end up purchasing tickets for the 3d showing just to feel like they're…

Not gonna lie, I was thinking the very same thing.

Agreed. They're such eerie relics of years past. Very bitter sweet to see how the changing times have affected those types of places.

Agreed. Especially when you consider how often people are rebuying smart phones(early adopters replacing their first gen crappy versions) as well as how recently these phones have become affordable.

"Speed and miniaturization is making a phone the perfect replacement for a laptop and desktop computer."
