- sho 17y ago"I would rather read the news from the source, than from those gizmodo subhuman morons" Cut them some slack. At least they're watching/trying. Their article is a news item here, after all.
- TriinT 17y agoHave you read the comments on gizmodo? They're trying? Trying what? What they usually do is copy-paste from the source. That does not add much value. Hence, I ask again: where's the URL to the original press release? I don't want to read such great news from a website that allows comments from retards who know nothing about Physics...

- sho 17y agoI have an easy win for you. Stop reading the comments! They are almost universally awful.
- TriinT 17y agoTrue. But would it be too far-fetched to claim that the quality of a website / blog can be indirectly measured by the quality of its comments? A quality blog should not tolerate certain comments which are more appropriate for YouTube.
- sho 17y agoSigh, when you find the answer to that question, let me know ...
- TriinT 17y agoThey will never sell Chanel No. 5 in gas stations because it would cheapen it. Likewise, a blog that tolerates retarded trollish comments looks cheap. If I were one of the IBM scientists who worked on that project, I would hate to have my work publicized by a blog as distasteful as Gizmodo. Call me elitist if you will. BTW, my question was rhetorical.
- sho 17y agoIf you're elitist, it's in a good way. I agree.
- anigbrowl 17y agoLoftus and Matt Buchanan are quite good. I hope they'e getting paid a lot, because being associated with the likes of Jesus Diaz is not what I'd call a career- or even life-enhancing.
