Awwww yeah, those suckers at the TSA are going to let us take knives on planes again. Pocket knives are the best. Get one. Here are some suggestions—all plane-legal as of April 25th.

The Air Jordan XX8 (just got 'em in today). Pimped by the mighty Spike Lee. Inspired by James Bond. Bolstered with carbon fiber plates: a purple eyescar sheathed in some kind of snakeskin-meets-moonscape-meets-pixelcamo footcondom. This has gotta be the ugliest shoe ever made. Amirite?

After some of the best years of my life, I'm leaving Gizmodo. I love this staff like family, but it's time for me to move on. We're going to need a new fearless leader. Job requirements:

Hello and thank you for watering my plants! Please come on Wednesdays. Here is a handy guide:

Nachos are the ultimate party food; bad nachos are the ultimate party foul. You know the old sob story: There's a platter full of chips, and only six of them have enough cheese. Some jerk dumped a can of salsa in the middle of the plate, and now people are worming their filthy plague-ridden fingers through an…

As you probably know, Instagram's new Terms of Use, which stirred up quite an Internet tizzy, kick in tomorrow. Terms of Use for websites, are for the most part, all full of the same impenetrable legalese. Instagram's Terms are no exception. We asked our intrepid Associate Counsel, Jesse Ma, Esq., to translate it into…

Masterstroke by Gizmodo Alum "Uncle" Joel Johnson, and that guy Gary He, deposed King of the Internet. I love the Internet. And these guys.

Roomba has some problems with the apartment. Roomba does not like my dining room table. Roomba has trouble with the Swiffer, which he (?) mounts and then cannot free himself from—like a copulating wolf. (Wolves do that, right?)

You've seen hints of it over the past couple months: a photograph here and there on Gizmodo that you could click and spin and almost play with. These are the work of the Gizmodoscope, an interactive imaging system that we've spent the past year developing to make the most badass pictures on the Internet. And CES is…

For better or worse, CES Unveiled is a thing. We actually find it terribly convenient—dozens of gadgetmakers under one roof. And we found some cool stuff too. Huzzah! We braved the throngs and fried-food-vapors for you, my dears. Here's the best stuff we saw:

It's January. You read Twitter and The Blogs and have a vague recollection of every major news outlet in the country sending some poor reporter to Las Vegas this month, every year, to stand in a convention center and talk about technology. This is CES, the Consumer Electronics Show. But it's more than just a…

My friend Russ designs grills for Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet, where the starting price is around $14,000 $10,000. He just sent me this video, a glimpse at their manufacturing process. Man, these are sweet pieces of kit—all hand-made in an adorable town in Michigan, able to burn wood, gas, or charcoal. *drool*

Gizmodo Twitter friend Ben Dreyfuss. bought his mom an iPhone for Christmas. Ben is a good son! Christmas morning: Mama D. tears open the package, finds a shiny aluminum bundle of joy, and then decides to set it up. One problem: When she called Verizon to activate the thing, they told her that her new iPhone was…

It is officially the time of year when all gear writers start getting emails from friends and family asking what presents they should get their loved ones for the holidays. Then we get together in gadget guy bars and bitch about this fact ad nauseum.

Dear Instagram,

More than a dozen children were just murdered in Connecticut. It's time to take steps toward preventing this sort of tragedy. The Second Amendment was written when all Americans could remember being occupied by a foreign power. That was 220 years ago; the British are not coming. Red Dawn is not real. Give up your…
