When Facebook’s satellite went boom on SpaceX’s rocket... I smiled despite the setback it represented for SpaceX. Because Facebook wanted to be the gateway and filter by which people consumed their information in a part of the world where they had no clue what an open internet looked like or precisely what facebook…

The introduction of mods just reinforces why I like console gaming: simplicity. If I started gaming on PC, I’d spend more time tinkering with mods and optimizing settings than I would playing the game. Even with Fallout on Xbox, I don’t use mods because it’s too overwhelming. I’m sure it’s great for other people, but…

It really depends on what you’re trying to make. For Japanese food, I’d recommend getting a bottle of sake and/or mirin (hon-mirin if you can find it). A lot of recipes call for both sake and mirin. The stuff in the cooking wines aisle is probably shin-mirin which is pretty similar in flavor to true mirin, but has the…

Kurt Cobain was 5'9", just saying.

Right on!

We’re just going to have to accept that Gizmodo is now a Political blog with gadgets being secondary, and only if/when they can be associated with something political or can’t be ignored. As much as I hate it, I can’t fault them because it obviously draws in more of the clicks, which in turn equals more of that sweet…

I mean, it’s cool if you found a way to make money legitimately that isn’t traditional, and society definitely needs paid entertainers and artists and humorists, etc. But Christ, there’s something about Youtube “stars” and their sense of entitlement that really rubs me the wrong way. My inner old man wants to tell…

*ahem*

boo dow! ba doo doo, boo WAAAOOOM

I don’t really blame the blogs for that. When was the last time we had a revolution in tech? We’ve been seeing incremental upgrades, on smartphones, tablets, laptops, displays of all kind, PCs, GPUs, DSLRs and mirrorless.. the biggest change I can think of is the removal of the headphone jack (SO BRAVE) from the…

Nice! Everybody go play Nier Automata right now! It’s a masterpiece.

Yep

Actually, he would have tried to buy a 6 and 9.

Normally I’d roll my eyes at this kind of comment, but I’m seeing the same thing with the latest Mass Effect incarnation too - People are literally mad a woman with short hair isn’t lesbian, among other things - in a series that is quite notable for its fairly inclusive LGBT representation.

I don’t relate to peter parker because he’s a white heterosexual. I relate to him because he’s an introvert and has self confidence issues.

Totally justified in this case. It’s like knowing someone has a severe peanut allergy and serving them a meal you intentionally made with peanut oil or some derevation of the sort. Your intent is to cause harm and potentially kill the person. As far as I know, a charge of attempted murder isn’t reliant on the weapon…

Thought on reading title : “no way!”

I should have noted I live in Canada so it’s not a 1 to 1 comparison.

THIS. I was going to say it was some bozo in marketing, and the this whole IoT nonsense was pure marketing-ese, but you said it better.

This headline is so misleading and it’s so, so shameful of you to frame the situation like this. The GIF caused him a seizure. He’s epileptic. Yes, that is assault when you do something with the intent of hurting someone else, whether it’s just a GIF. That troll put him in danger knowingly. Epileptic seizures are…
