I got the joke. Just didn't find it all that funny, since it was basically "Hey guys, we're way smarter than those dorky libruls, emirate?", which isn't accurate. Observations without an ounce of truth in them are rarely entertaining.

Right. Without Gawker Media, which began with and was primarily fueled by Gawker the website for a number of years, Gizmodo would not exist. I comment on all of the Gawker Media properties, and I've had interesting discussions on each one. You should try it sometime.

You do know that everyone who comments on Gizmodo is a Gawker commenter, right? Just like how Gizmodo staff members are all Gawker employees?

Yeah, they could probably go ahead and merge them at this point with little to no effect on their profits. I was just pointing out the likely original reason for the separation. After the CC switchover, it's really a matter of tradition and the messy problem of merging two software teams.

Well, it's really just another way to make more money. A lot of graphic designers work extensively with raster assets that often need to be retouched in various ways. Photoshop is by far the superior tool for that, so many people - myself included - feel compelled to purchase both. Of course, with Creative Cloud's…

It's a prosumer application that makes no claims with regards to professional use. Also, graphic designers generally use Illustrator, not Photoshop

On my 15" Retina Macbook, Mavericks has been mostly great. It's solved a few longstanding issues and increased my battery life quite dramatically. There's one frustrating niggle, though - I'm getting lag when entering Mission Control, particularly when Safari is open. I use gfxcardstatus, and this happens even with…

I know a ton of fellow Mac users who never open the App Store at all - they don't see the reason when the included apps satisfy all of their needs. There are even more who do open the App Store, but do so rarely. The Mavericks banner is prominent enough, but a lot of people will probably miss the window in which it's…

I got a Mac about a year ago, primarily because of the high-resolution Retina screen. Prior to the release of the Retina MBP, I didn't consider Macs to be "worth it". They were good, sure, but I didn't feel like their price premium was justified given that you could get similarly-specced and increasingly…

Looks like your link is broken.

I'm pretty sure he was mocking the sign.

After his speech, Bloomberg was given the honor of personally frisking each of the project's black and Latino workers.

Unless the modders ever figure out how to expand the city sizes, I am just not interested. It's incredibly frustrating to know that every city I plan will run into the same brick wall: I will run out of land. Building monuments and infrastructure becomes a chore because I know I'm only depriving myself of space that…

Fantastical has been doing this for ages. Sunrise also takes a similar approach.

I've been going through an extended bout with depression of late. This is the first time I've really felt like this, so I'm still learning how to cope. I consider it fortunate that I've dealt with anxiety for years and that I finally sought help for it and brought it under control with medication and therapy. Because…

I just remember that one of those shorts- the one about the robot war- fucked me up hard as a kid. It was and is extremely disturbing (but well made, too).

GODDAMMIT.

This can get really tricky. I moved to a new area a little more than a year ago, and all of my friends- all of them- are from one interconnected group. These people really love to party, and since we live about an hour away from the nearest big city, going to a club or show pretty much necessarily involves spending…

Gizmodo commenters have a sense of humor?

Probably because it's not supported on her tablet? Phones (not to mention tablets) that aren't Nexus-branded or made by Samsung often have a hell of a time getting builds for any of the popular ROMs, if they have unlocked bootloaders or exploits to do such in the first place.
