”Hey Commenters, Can We Have A Talk ?
For all you commenters, this post is intended for you. We at Gizmodo want to go over a few things. Off topic comments, a new comment specific email address, and reasons we ban are on the agenda. So if you're a frequent commenter or just starting out, let us have a few words with you. Oh and, if you haven't already checked out Lifehacker's amazing commenting user's guide, you definitely should. More »

Comment Intern THOR Needed
Earlier we labeled this position an internship, which was way off. This job holds much more power and responsibility than some coffee getting, office cleaning intern-(oh wait that's my title). We are looking for someone who will take full control of our comment system and only use the power for good not evil. Even if it is easy work, it is still extremely important so we're gonna pay you. If you think you can handle being THOR for Gizmodo, please read on.

Comment of the Day
Hey commenters: Despite what we may say to one another, I know deep down we are one big happy family. So after sifting through the daily dose of "Will it blend?"s, "DO (NOT) WANT"s, insane rants, conspiracy theories, and this well-crafted missive, I found something that was both funny and out of the ordinary, and it represents how much you all mean to me. True, it did come from the legend Strider_mt2k, but this is good advice for you up-and-comers who hope to see your own comment up in the bright lights one day. So here it is, your comment of the day, a quick one-liner found on the Massive Lens post:BY STRIDER_MT2K AT 09:08 AMWell done Strider, well done. [Comment Link, Explanation for the kiddies]
Holy Milton Berle that thing's huge!

MacBook Air: Vent or Praise in this Flamewar Thread
Apple's products are usually divisive, but it's rare to see the kind of "I LOVE IT, YOU SUCK!" and "I HATE IT, YOU'RE AN IDIOT" reaction they've gotten with the MacBook Air. Well, here's a post for you readers to go nuts in, either explaining to the world why the MacBook Air is the harbinger of the apocalypse, or why it's the beacon of light that will save humanity from a future stuffed full of thighs crushed by heavy laptops. And like our last flamewar thread, you cannot be banned for anything you say in this thread. If your insanity carries over to another thread, however, bye bye. Here's how to comment.

Comment Of The Day
Today's comment of the day actually comes from the Question of the Day and is another response type comment. The comment was made by RIPFIRE4 and was addressing morganlh85 's inability to find a decent watch.BY RIPFIRE4 AT 07:29 PMNow, some of you might think this is the worst comment of the day, but if you care enough to find out our reasoning, feel free to take the jump. We can't guarantee it will be worth it though... More »
@morganlh85: "I haven't been able to find a decent watch that doesn't weigh my arm down or look ridiculous and/or homely."
What's your arm made of? Spaghetti?

Comment Of The Day
The video showing the SmartNav hands-free mouse that controls your PC with your head was just waiting to be made fun of, and that's exactly what our comment of the day did. NUTBASTARD 's (if you think his name is ultra-cool, you should see his avatar; appears to be a bona-fide badass) comment with reference to a Tilaka and his use of trademark symbols proved to be a comment that was simply a cut above the rest, and so it must be awarded with the comment of the day.BY NUTBASTARD AT 09:56 AM[Comment]

Comment Of The Day
Since yesterday's comment of the day was so popular, we struggled to find one today that would be just as compelling... At first it seemed that a comment in the Apple Year-End Report Card was going to take it, but then about 40 other commenters said the same thing, by also calling the Giz "fanboys"; so that quickly became unoriginal. Then the comment of the day was found, and we know at least one commenter will agree, EMOSHUNZ that means you. OMG!!! PONIES!!! 's comment on Bill Gates' recent Mexican investment, is a well thought-out joke that we couldn't help but award with the comment of the day. And to all those fanboy callin', Apple haters, you'll probably like this one too...

Comment Of The Day
Today's comment of the day was actually a reply to the worst comment of the day (go figure); and can both be found under another one of our excuses to post pictures of a woman, in Christmas attire, holding gadgety junk. To make sure you get the comments full effect, we'll post the worst comment first, and then the reply after. Oh yea, almost forgot to mention, congrats to Adam Frucci (hmm, sounds familiar) for posting the comment of the day.BY SANGARTS2 AT 06:38 PM
I HATE this show... I hate music used as comedy.

Comment Of The Day
Today's comment of the day came to us while browsing the comments for the Turbo Toaster; and although we anticipated to read jokes criticizing the Queen lovin' Redcoat's inability to make tasty food, this comment was sadly not one of them. Dustybutt's (wish that wasn't his name) comment proved to be very entertaining by not only making a joke of a crazy product idea but also having a superb choice of delivery. So without further adieu, here is the comment of the day, by our very own, Dustybutt..BY DUSTYBUTT AT 02:32 PM[Comment Link]
Clear start motor one...
Good indication of start on one, ready clear start motor two..
Start motor two... tach, temp, torque, all in green...
Clear chute... toast chamber start...
ready 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
release toasted goodness...
Mmmmm.

How to Comment: Two Days Left
Only two days left until the Gizmodo vs. Kotaku Halo match is here. We're still working on how we're going to record Kotaku's loss for posterity, but you can catch it live on Justin.tv at 8 p.m. PST (11PM EST). We'll be liveblogging it as well, so expect to see lots of "8:53: I just teabagged Crecente." To get a sneak preview of how that looks, check out the picture above.

I have to buy a radar detector before snow season starts and the Tahoe PD start crawling all over my ass. For a long time, I'd wanted a Valentine One. I knew it was supposed to be the best a few years ago, but was shocked to see that was still the case today when Alex Roy mentioned he'd used a Val One in his blistering coast to coast record breaking drive. Why is there no march of progress here?

How to Comment: This is How We Roll
You see that? That's what's going to happen again next Thursday when the Gizmodo vs. Kotaku match is on. Except instead of just me corpse humping them, it's going to be all of us. Can you taste it? More »

How to Comment: OK, ANOTHER Change of Halo Plans
Apparently Kotaku "doesn't have time" this Thursday to participate in the Halo match. They have "more important stuff to do" and "will have to move it to next Thursday". If you ask us? Our ever-increasing rank on Halo makes them nervous—and they need more time to practice. Either that, or they're actually busy. Which one do you think is true?!
