Gizmodo, and the entire Gawker network, is geared towards one thing, that being to generate page hits. Page hits equal ad imprint revenue.
After curiously inspecting the article, I looked at their legal page. They specifically spell out that any and all legal communications will be disclosed (even DMCA take down notices).
From what I can see, Gawker wants to stir the pot as hard as possible to generate the maximum views. Content is relevant only so far as it achieves that goal. Apple contributes to this goal by its maximum use of secrecy.
- stcredzero 16y agoGizmodo has also been generating lots of attention (albeit unwanted) for Apple. So, Gawker and Apple need each other in a strange antagonistic way? How about Steve Jobs as The Dark Knight and Ryan Tate as The Joker? It sorta fits. Steve does seem to like dressing in black.
