Writers are paid on a per hit basis here. Look at those numbers, they don't need any standards when they can purposely produce flame bait.

Oh she saw the comments all right. From her Twitter, "dudes, i don't think it's bad to be a dweeb. i just dont want to date someone i can't relate to. not an attack. more a cautionary tale."-Couldn't help but take another swipe at him.

I don't go there often, but I've heard good things about ArsTechnica. Crunchgear also looks good, though Engadget is Giz's biggest competitor. This list has some strong suggestions if you're looking for an alternative: [tech.blorge.com]

Engadget. They stick to the gadgets and avoid the histrionics and personal anecdotes. I also replaced Kotaku with Joystiq for the same reasons.

This is the first time I'm commenting on Gizmodo in close to a year since I found a replacement. The author of this post and and the contents within are everything wrong with this site, from its pretentious tone to its flame bait antics for maximum page views. Gizmodo is also to blame for knowingly running something…

I think people come home from bad days at work and use their anonymity over the internet to just bitch and complain about everything. With the advent of the internet I honestly believe it'd be impossible to have another Beatles or Kubrick. "Lol, how stupid are they for dressing up in walrus costumes? Jumped the shark…

Thanks for introducing me to that site, it's hilarious! Comic strips that actually make me laugh out loud.

I was and am still very skeptical about Anne Hathaway playing Catwoman but at the same time I have complete trust in what Nolan is doing. I'll never forget how many people insulted his choice of Heath Ledger as the Joker and the first image that came of that. "Why isn't his whole body white?" "What's with the scars?"…

You take that back! Yes, season five of Alias was terrible, but dammit, it's been my favorite show since I was 13. I might even have the biggest collection of merch. Any show with a female spy I'll check out. (Note, even though it's my favorite that doesn't mean I think it's "the greatest show ever". Probably not even…

That is something that is explained during the movie. Honestly, the trailer give way too much away and is probably what gave people their low expectations.

Completely taken by surprise at just how good Rise of the Planet of the Apes is, I wasn't really expecting much from it. It's also worth noting that close to 45 minutes of the movie has little to no dialogue, and that the movie is more plausible then the trailers would lead you to believe. Near the end of the movie I…

My sister who loves Frogs got this as a gift and recently watched it. She said you could tell that people off screen were throwing the frogs in the shot and it was really funny to watch. She also there weren't enough frog scenes.

With all the cast members, effects and explosions can we expect this to be one of the most expensive movies ever made? A movie like this hasn't really been attempted before. This is awesome.

The more photos I see of this movie the more I think the book will be completely sucked of its charm. I lurve Jennifer Lawrence so she's great in the lead as Katniss, but while reading I pictured the movie along the lines of Cast Away/Gladiator. I can already picture the flashy PG-13 camera angles in the fightscenes,…

Apparently Tom Green created planking in 1994. Here's the proof:

Actually, this works in their favor. The more outrage, the more clicks which = more money for the writer.

Not only that, but it's also a misleading headline as it's alleged that this is the man who tracked down Bin Laden and not the guy who actually killed him. This definitely ranks among the worst posts I've ever seen on any of the Gawker sites.

Youporn and wanktube have absolutely nothing on xvideos or the filthily named youjizz. Not that I would know or anything.

Texting in a theater is never appropriate, it's rude and obnoxious. If you can't turn your phone off for the two hours it takes to watch a movie then maybe you shouldn't be there in the first place.

One girl in the seat next to me at Avatar awhile back was texting the entire movie on her Blackberry. It took a good 45 minutes before I got the nerve to speak up. I constantly heard the clicking and clacking and saw the screen light up and her obnoxiousness annoyed me to no end. When I asked her politely to "Stop…
