This fantastic, one-page guide on how to use the Internet was written for high schoolers in the mid-'90s. It's a blast from the past. A past without streaming video. And dial-up connections. And AOL. I hate the past. (via gizmodo.com) View Image ›
Scary Bear has some advice for what to do when your friend starts bringing around his new iPhone. I think this is what you would find if you looked up “nailed it” in a dictionary. A bad dictionary, as this is not the literal definition and “nailed it” is a phrase rather than a word, but yeah. (via gizmodo.com) View Image ›
Gizmodo writer Alyssa Bereznak went on an OkCupid date with a man named Jon Finkel. He was a seemingly nice guy, who just happened to be a top level professional poker player, but more notably a former Magic: The Gathering world champion. Ms. Bereznak found this too nerdy for her tastes and decided to write an article about her “horror story.” The Internet was not happy. Here are the 10 best reactions. Read More ›
This is revelatory. There's also that “lack of privacy” thing. View Image ›
So a Gizmodo reader asked for help proposing to his girl. Giz asked readers to send in videos of them saying “Katie, will you marry me?” Cute mashup ensues.

AT&T announced some changes to the iPhone data plans, but iPad 3G owners are affected, too: AT&T is doing away with the $30/month unlimited data plan. Instead you'll pay $25/month for 2GB.
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!
In a handy chart form! Next time you're at a party stuck in a conversation about the Gizmodo iPhone debacle (pssst…find new friends!), you can join in and pretend like you care. View Image ›
The Takeaway has taken a look at the Gizmodo editor's impressive stash of gadgetry and come up with a price tag. $7,600 for all that gear sounds about right, and makes you wonder how much he'd have in 10 years if he'd just invested it in Apple stock instead.
Apple updated their (imaginary) splash screen at Apple.com in retribution over Jason Chen taking apart their iPhone and posting it on Gizmodo. This seems like it'd be appropriate comeuppance. View Image ›
Police have seized the computers of Jason Chen, Gizmodo EIC, in connection with the pending “stolen iPhone” case. Read More ›
After unveiling a misplaced iPhone 4G, Gizmodo editor Greg Lowen tracks down more stuff left behind at bars near the Apple HQ. Watch Video ›
Gizmodo received a letter today from Apple requesting that the iPhone 4G they have be returned. Luckily, they've already taken the thing apart, posted the personal details of the guy who lost it, and received millions of hits, so it's no great loss. Just goes to show, questionable ethics really pays off. View Image ›
Gizmodo does a great job of reminding gadget freaks and those of us “early adopters” of some of the hyped (and now obsolete) gadgets of the decade. Starting off with the “cue-cat” and ending with the “Twitter Peek”.
After posting their list of The Seven Types of Employees You Meet at Best Buy, Best Buy's CMO, Barry Judge, responds with “The One Type of Gizmodo Blogger” — an ode to the couch-ing, ironic t-shirt-wearing, and Brooklyn-living techie blogger stereotype. Who said corporate suits couldn't strike back? Although the post was soon taken down, its cache will remain — and Barry should know that. Either way: ZING! Read More ›

The bar has officially been raised for hating on George Lucas. It's not good enough any more just to say that Phantom Menace violated your innocence. This tattoo is more eloquent on the subject than most of us can ever hope to be. View Image ›
One of my favorite Gizmodo PhotoShop contests to date: “50 of the Most Insane Things Never Seen on Google Street View.” Inevitably, the contest has kind of a sci-fi vibe to it, but there's plenty of good stuff in there - Planet of the Apes is particularly inspired.
