Well, commenters, here we are again. After we had our little talk a month ago it seems like what we went over hasn’t really taken hold. The number of off-topic conversations hasn’t really decreased and complaints from your fellow commenters are piling up. Instead of running wild with the banhammer, we figured we owed it to you guys to have another talk. Before we go on, if you haven’t already read io9’s amazing How to Be an Opinionated Commenter on io9 and Not Get Banned post we suggest you do. We at Gizmodo don’t think we need to go over what being a decent commenter is all about. But if you are still unsure of which comments are appropriate please check out that io9 guide, we’ll all be happier you did. Please Keep it On-Topic So here’s the problem, the comment threads are still becoming too off-topic. We’re not gonna point fingers at specific commenters; we just want everyone to understand what affect this has on the Giz c...

The folks over at Maximum PC have gotten themselves a chance to go face-to-face (and tongue-to-laptop) with Voodoo’s newest show-off -- the Envy 133 -- and they’ve shared with the rest of the world. There’s not much to say based on these pictures, save that they clearly were stoked to be getting this close to the sexed-up excuse for maxing out a credit card. If you hit the read link, you’ll catch a slew of pictures, some size compa...
more ASUS’ Chinese site reveals Eee PC 900 with 30GB hard driveFrom: iklangadget.com

Filed under: Laptops As if it wasn’t already clear that ASUS has descended into self-parody , the company’s Chinese website has now revealed yet another Eee PC model which, by our estimation, brings the total number of variations to about on par with the number of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavors. This latest model, dubbed the Eee PC 900 30G, boasts a 30GB hard drive in place of the usual 12GB or 20GB SSD drive, and is apparently set to be available in both black and wh...

Post Date: 2008-07-17 14:30:00
