Business Buzz BW likes Gawker! BW doesn't like Lana Del Ray. A PR flack for NBC wrote Gawker to take the email down, but why? Once again, Brian Williams comes off as unreasonably cool. (via gawker.com)
RIP, friend. Hopefully, the occupiers learned a lot about taking over Twitter from this tome.

Last week, Fox News weirdly lashed out at Gawker, apparently because Gawker was working on a story that would make someone at Fox look bad. Now that story is here; it alleges that Bill O'Reilly used his clout to get the cops to investigate the guy he suspected his wife was having an affair with (who was also a cop). The (very!) long story here.
One word: Ouch. This is what happens when you don't listen to the users that made you so big to begin with.
I'm all for thinking outside the blog or whatever, but Gawker's new format leaves something to be desired. Namely, the content.

Shock and surprise! The most common password in use at Gawker was '123456.'
Culture Buzz Here are the laziest of the passwords revealed by the massive Gawker hack. Old standbys like “1235456” and “password” make an appearance, but there's still room on the list for upstarts like “fuckyou” and “cheese.”

A convenient tool to help you determine if you were gawked on Gawker.

If you've got a commenter account on any Gawker Media site, change your password. Gawker Media's entire commenter database was hacked on Saturday by a group called Gnosis, and over 250,000 passwords were posted on The Pirate Bay.
Got something you want to say to Lindsay Lohan? Just print, write some words of encouragement (or discouragement), draw a picture on the front, slap a stamp on it and voila! Your work is done and you can feel good about yourself.

An apparent AT&T security breach has exposed the e-mail addresses of 114,000 iPad 3G subscribers, according to Gawker. A group known as Goatse Security (yes, named after the Internet shock site) sent the media blog a list of 144,067 e-mail entries of iPad 3G customers.
A single-serving site that generates a letter to Nick Denton asking what he'd pay for legendary or impossible to find items. For instance, say I found an explanation on how f*cking magnets worked. I wonder what Gawker would pay for that exclusive.
What would Nick Denton pay for these things I found in a bar? Directions to Sesame Street, the Lost Finale, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Playgirl stash, etc. $5k sounds like a good price!
Tech Buzz Police have seized the computers of Jason Chen, Gizmodo EIC, in connection with the pending “stolen iPhone” case.

Former Miss United States Teen Kari, Anne Peniche is embroiled in a scandal about her video featuring Peniche frolicking in the nude with Eric Dane (Dr. McSteamy) and Rebecca Gayheart (the Noxzema Girl) that made it's way on to the internet. Both Dane and Peniche are denying that sex was part any of the activities that evening.
Gawker is an internet magazine catering to the “urban hater demographic.” Here is an image they posted creatively mapping the the world's douchebags on a subway map. Is it better to be a hater or a douchbag?
Tech Buzz Denton's Perfect Storm Of Gloom (TM) continues heading towards land, but it looks like Valleywag has already been hit. For a man of infamous balls, Denton is impressively pessimistic about the future of publishing. Valleywag is rumored to be closing, Consumerist may be up for sale.
Movie Buzz Richard Kelly’s Darko Entertainment will produce and finance a big screen adaptation of infamous douchebag Tucker Max’s bestseller I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. Part of me thinks he merely exists so that people who hate everything can have even more to hate.
Tech Buzz Valleywag has posted a well-researched entry entitled “Half of the 50 hottest girls on Digg are fake — but the site works anyway.” I’m pretty sure this so-called Mariana Peyton is actually Jamie from the Real World/Road Rules challenges. Not that I watch that show or anything!
