This Gizmodo Writer Used To Make TV Ads, And We Are Here To Embarrass Him
By yanko at 30 January, 2012, 4:00 pm
You guys know Brian Barrett, he’s a Senior Editor on the US edition of Gizmodo. GIFs made from his commercial appearances make the rounds in our internal chats all the time, so we thought we thought we’d let you guys in on the fun. So please, sit back, and bask in his boyish charm. On the above: I was actually gonna get my brother booze for Christmas this year after seeing this commer …

By Gizmodo at 19 January, 2012, 2:00 pm
If the world’s most important Consumer Electronics Show was a music, then this might well be it. Complete with booth babes, OLED TVs, futuristic concept cars, strange new toys and robots, cute reporters, 3D printers, nightclubs, celebrities and Las Vegas hangovers. All footage taken during my trip to the US last week. Enjoy. Visit our CES Knowledge Centre to track back through all the new produ …

By Engadget at 18 January, 2012, 8:30 am
At CES last week, in addition to all the gear and gadgets, there was something else on display: women. As with many trade shows — especially ones aimed at a male audience — CES was rife with booth babes. Yet when the BBC ran a story on the practice of hiring scantily clad models to stand around booths and draw stares from wandering men, it found an interesting defender: Consumer Electr …

By Hong Kiat at 12 January, 2012, 8:30 am
Vizio’s first tablet entry wasn’t great. But the 10-inch M-Series the company just debuted at CES? Looks like second time’s the charm. Vizio’s being cagey about M-Series guts, but in our hands on the tablet the tablet was peppy and responsive chewing through an alpha version of Honeycomb. Apps loaded quickly and videos played smoothly. Integrated stereo speakers on the top …

By Engadget at 11 January, 2012, 1:45 pm
This chrome nightmare was heckling CES attendees, trying to coax them into TP-Link’s booth to check out the company’s wireless network wares. I generally like the lack of ‘booth babes’ at CES, since it means booths are staffed with personnel who actually know something about the products on display. Also, unlike the Booth Babe Mk II, they’re not plotting to wipe out h …

By admin at 9 January, 2012, 2:00 am
CES has started, which means junk like this is now showing up in my inbox. Hey, [REDACTED] , did you put a butt in your email to remind me how shitty your products are? Because that’s what I’m thinking. And sadly, there are way more butts to come over the next few days. CES, like many industry conventions, will be thick with “booth babes” — women paid to stand …

By Hong Kiat at 29 December, 2011, 10:57 pm
Chances are the holidays have driven you mostly insane by now, so Amazon has gone ahead and packaged its Christmas shopping postmortem (they sold lots of Kindles!) with some goofy facts that will appeal to the infantile mush that was once your brain. Here are some of the more charming/pertinent bits: Amazon customers purchased enough copies of Walter Isaacson’s “Steve Jobs” boo …

By AutoBlog at 28 October, 2011, 6:40 am
You can probably change the font in your favourite writing app to something with gratuitos serifs and retro charm, but it still won’t come as close to recreating the feel of working on an antique typewriter as The Amazing Type-Writer app does. (more…)

By yanko at 9 October, 2011, 3:00 pm
Before you go tossing that coffee cup or plastic spoon into the rubbish or even the recycling bin, why don’t you send it along to artist Christian DuCharme? The man’s made a name for himself making lights from discarded utensils. (more…)

By Engadget at 9 September, 2011, 3:40 pm
There was a lot of charm to the bygone experience of using a computer in the ’90s; I remember the nuances of my modem’s soothing screech better than the hook from “I Want It That Way” (which is reallyreallyreally well). And the goofy pointer finger cursor was so wonderful that this novelty cursor tablet stylus is actually kind of tempting. (more…)
