As a species, especially in the industrialized parts of the world, we've generally killed off natural selection. Technological advances (even the most basic) often protect the genetically "weak."

Yes, they are. It generates page views, which is all Gawker seems to care about.

Sorry...I forgot to add the sarcasm tag to my last post. ;-) I understand fully that this is the Gawker of tech blogs. I'm not sure if that's something Gizmodo should be proud of, though.

Maybe Jesus will lose his job because of this. Then he can sue Google.

My initial feeling, especially when looking at the photo, is "You go, girl!" The meals are not the most appealing looking food I've seen and, if they're substandard, the program should be fixed.

We should Photoshop a proofreader into a picture of the Gizmodo office....

An internal discussion is not held in a stadium with media in attendance. They can pitch it any way they like, but being so public makes it a very intentional protest.

Great! %#$@!! Now I'm fixated on the live video, hoping to be the first person to actually see a drop fall. There goes the rest of my life.

Looking at stats from Alexa, I'd say they're in trouble...

China Ontrade has over 200 different replacement backs, including mirrored, metal, leather, wood, chrome, and backlit Apple logos:

I think sexting is most often between already consenting partners. The issues arise when they are no longer partners or if their phones get hacked. I'm guessing the random "Hey, I just thought I'd send you a nude picture of me for kicks"is pretty rare...unfortunately.

"Bob, I have a great idea. Let's take our $5 plates, cut them into six pieces and market the pieces as pizza plates. We could make a killing. I bet we could get $30-$40 for a set of four."

No...You and I use it daily in many ways, as illustrated by your examples. Most of the world is blissfully ignorant of such uses...Sad, but true.

Leaf blower...As Tim Allen once said, duct tape everything down and you can dust the living room with a leaf blower.

Having driven past many of the wind farms in west Texas, I can assure you the scale is there. The Roscoe Wind Farm, the largest in Texas, currently has 627 turbines spread out over 100,000 acres (more than 150 square miles). This is just a single wind farm. Driving on the highway, there are turbines in every…

I told my wife it looked like something had been rooting around in the laundry, but she wouldn't believe me...

Fresh out of school, milk crates were my bookshelves, entertainment center and file cabinets. These don't look any bigger than milk crates. They're not a bad idea, but why would I pay for them instead of picking up some milk crates? Now...make some drawers that fit in milk crates and some casters or legs that snap…

I'd swear the first two live on my street, especially the guy with the filter mask. I see him out every Saturday, mowing his lawn.

Science fiction become fact! It's a great idea....as long as we don't have to pull the asteroids into orbit to make it workable. Having a satellite fall out of orbit because of miscalculations is one thing, but having a 10 mile long asteroid fall out of orbit might be a problem...
