Gizmodo Year in Review: March







Gizmodo Year in Review: March

Gizmodo Year in Review: March 12/31/2004 04:40 PM

What a year it's been in gadgetry! Just 12 short months ago, I was blissfully sleeping in, rising only to attend state-mandated skill focus classes. Yet your unwavering appetite for plastic-clad consumer gear pressed me into service, like a fireman who ignores his high score in Bubble Bobble to rescue a burning baby, or the food engineer who developed Wendy's Wild Mountain Spicy Chicken sandwich to address America's flavor cravings. As we prepare ourselves for next week's electronics orgy of CES, let us take a moment to reflect on the highs and lows of our shiny love affair together, month by month, as we pull out notable and favorite posts from the last 3,500 some-odd articles from this year's Gizmodo.

Gizmodo Year in Review: May 12/31/2004 04:40 PM

May found us looking across the pond for at least twenty or thirty seconds as a dead woman's SMS messages helped in the conviction of her murderous husband.

Poor Joshua Kinberg first tells us about "Bikes Against Bush", a clever hack that would have been used to spray temporary chalk messages during the 2004 Republican Convention, were it not so terribly easy to throw dissenters in vans.


Gizmodo Year in Review: November


Gizmodo Year in Review: November 12/31/2004 04:40 PM

In November we learned that the Sonos streaming audio system would be delayed until '05. Despite this, it was on many magazine's 'Best of 2004' lists.

Dynamism started selling sushi-shaped USB flash drives, which were almost as overpriced as real sushi.


Gizmodo Year in Review: October


Gizmodo Year in Review: October 12/31/2004 04:40 PM

October has the SeaGrand RaveMetal, an flash-based MP3 player that's built like a cassette tape. I still think that's brilliant, if not very useful. We also got our first inkling of a flash-based iPod, although it obviously won't be out before Christmas.

Proving that there is a god, but that he is a heartless necromancer, someone invents a process to make clothing from lab-grown human flesh just weeks before Halloween.

Gizmodo Year in Review: August 12/31/2004 04:40 PM

August brought us the Archos Gmini 400, one of the only portable video players worth a damn.


Gizmodo Year in Review: July


Gizmodo Year in Review: July 12/31/2004 04:40 PM

July was when we knew we had really come into our own, as a story about titanium breast implants temporarily put us in the top spot for Google's results for the term 'titties.' Mom could not have been more proud. I also write our most cringe-worthy story about the SmartKlamp circumcision tool—and that's just from the puns.


Gizmodo Year in Review: June


Gizmodo Year in Review: June 12/31/2004 04:40 PM

June brought the first cellphone worm for Nokia Series 60 phones, a minor threat but a story that will likely be huge in 2005, as more malicious variants appear. We also learned about the $6,700 power cord, and I had to prevent myself from commiting suicide at the news.

Sony mentions plans for a PSP/Phone hybrid, although nothing comes of it (yet). Comdex dies. Girls pee while standing. Sidekick II appears (then breaks my heart).

We get the world's first information about the iPod Your BMW system, making us an actual news site for almost 24 hours. The phone known as the Treo Ace appears, later released as the Treo 650.


Gizmodo Year in Review: December


Gizmodo Year in Review: December 12/31/2004 04:40 PM

And finally, in December, nothing happens at all. We pretty much just shot up and waited for the looming hammer of Christmas to fall.

It was a great year for gear, though, and it was a lot of fun talking about it with you all. We've got high hopes for next year, and I can't wait to show you what we've got cooking. A special thanks to all of our tipsters, whose emails made Gizmodo much more interesting than it would have been otherwise.

Have a great New Year's Eve!


Gizmodo Year in Review: April


Gizmodo Year in Review: April 12/31/2004 04:40 PM

In April, Sony announced its intentions to produce a hard disk-based music player. At the time, we didn't know it would be awful.

I also got sort of upset when Gametrac changed the name of their still-unreleased handheld gaming system to Gizmondo. I also maybe implied they helped child molesters find children to touch.

It was a month of personal development for me, as I learned that perpetual motion is actually impossible, even for the Chinese.
