If you've ever wanted to find a David Bowie really creepy then add "The Man Who Fell to Earth" to your Netflix queue because it was suggested to you by their algorithm machines and you are feeling like you might like a "cult classic sci-fi space movie of the 70's"

Brushed aluminum + running Windows 7 is the best thing about my Macbook Pro. If only there had been something else I could have bought instead with an integrated optical drive; I didn't want my department to give Culpertino any money...

To be fair to Gizmodo when they do this (which seemed to coincide with the site redesign) at least they title these sort of entries as "blip" now. So you know you're going to basically get the equivalent of an RSS feed email.

Recreation involving yoyos and slinkies - hallmarks of a video made in the 80's that's for sure.

I was just thinking the exact same thing. So do the Brits win or does 'merikuh win? :P

Frankly, I watched it just to see what sort of a penis video would be able to make it past Youtube's content filters. I thought they had a pretty straight-up "no dick" policy (pun unfortunately intended).

That man is utterly hairless below his chin. Frankly, that woman should stick with "The Tudors"

Those years of training in Israel always probably tell them "the goym are going to try to get you to perform for cheap. Put the screws to the bastards." But if you get that to work, have fun.

When I was a kid, I thought that only Jews/Muslims were circumcised. I was shocked in middle school when I was told that this still happens to a large percentage of children. It doesn't make sense in this modern world (of soap) that we live in now that a man should have to exist without a foreskin unless he chooses to…

Indeed. I look forward to seeing Gizmodo practice this mindset in all of their articles, not just when a certain company is involved. Yeah. Sure.

Sam Biddle is kind of Giz's picture-related dude. I guess if anyone has the right to complain about something like this, it's him.

Guys, calm down - while this does suck, I guarantee you people in suits won't be coming to your house to ask about your instrument. Even your garage band is safe. If you are The Edge, even you are safe (unless you need to, you know, travel internationally) -

The Mac birthday card, the kernel panic, is at least multilingual to show how much they care about their essentially nonexistent worldwide userbase.

Of course not. They're basically paying him to stop showing how laughably flawed their software is. He could start doing it again, but then he'd be fired - and they're going to make sure he gets a taste of fine living out there in California to make it unlikely he'll want to go back to blackhatting.

I'm pretty sure that Quicktime is the actual thing that is playing your media files; iTunes at its simplest core is just a library database and a connector for various subcomponents like quicktime and bonjour. As much as I'd like to see Quicktime rotting at the bottom of a deep ocean as well, the thought of Apple…

Anyone know if they fixed Airplay? I discovered that the only way I could make it work with my pioneer receiver after 10.4 was when I disabled the Win7 firewall completely, and frankly I'd like to go back to having a firewall again.

Yeah, I would imagine things would be okay with one person now that I think about it, but even so - with an entire research team up there, I'd still be worried about accidentally crushing the cure to cancer or something. I'm sure they thought all that out though.

It's relatively light weight, until you put 5 grad students on it.

The previous version of the Sony Z (with the necessary optical drive) was so great I recommended at least a half dozen of them to my clients who had departments who could afford the $2300 cost. They have all uniformly loved the size and not not needing to compromise with weaker power and needing to carry a USB optical…

I see someone didn't read the article, poor fellow. You might notice he referred to the makers of a hypothetical GW baser to be "human-trash imbeciles"
