AMD exec looks back on year that was 04/22/2004 09:21 AM
Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s (AMD's) Dirk Meyer has presided over many chip development teams, including two of Digital Equipment Corp.'s Alpha processors and AMD's seventh-generation Athlon XP processors. But as senior vice president of AMD's Computation Products Group, lately his job has meant more time spent in front of airport security screeners than processor designers as he travels around evangelizing AMD's eighth-generation Opteron and Athlon 64 processors.

Squinting back at a myopic year 01/03/2004 11:50 AM
As the first few days of 2004 comes to an end, reflection on the prior year is inevitable. For us Mac faithful, early January lends itself to even greater consideration, being a time of both looking back and guessing forward. As we all know, 2003 has been a doozey. From redesigned PowerBooks and displays, to G5s and the iTunes Music Store, the last 12 months have been a whirlwind of product releases and acclaim, bringing Apple further into the limelight and increasing its brand...

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.

Back pain costs $90 billion/year

Back pain costs $90 billion/year 01/02/2004 07:13 AM
A Duke University study has concluded that back pain costs the US economy $90 billion a year.

"To put these expenses in perspective, the total $90 billion spent in 1998 represented 1 percent of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and the $26 billion in direct back pain costs accounted for 2.5 percent of all health care expenditures for that year," said lead researcher Xuemei Luo, Ph.D., who published the results of the Duke study today (Jan. 1, 2004) in the journal Spine.

OK, here's a thing: from the age of 17, right up until September 2002, I suffered from really bad back pain. I would spend a couple days a month laid up on the sofa, unable to move, and I'd go through a couple bottles of over-the-counter pain meds a month. I developed chemical burns on my back from overuse of "deep heat" patches and Tiger Balm. I saw a doctor who told me that I would likely need to have my spine fused.

Then I read this really weird, hippy-trippy book by Richard Sarno, a guy who appears to be to back pain what Atkins was to dieting a couple years back, a fringe researcher with no independent verification of his results and a slightly suspect, "They laughed at me in Vienna, I'll show them all" affect that makes it hard to take his stuff seriously.

Sarno advocates a kind of self-hypnosis or self-interrogation to relieve the mental causes of back pain, and states that it works even if you don't believe in it. Well, I tried it. 24h later, I began the single longest period of pain-free living in my adult life. I haven't been laid up in over a year now, and I take painkillers for headaches, not back-aches.

Your mileage may vary, but after more than a year of this, I'm ready to start talking about it. Like Atkins for weight loss and hypnosis for smoking cessation, Sarnoid back-therapy feels something like getting root on my body, like being able to move into user-controlled space stuff that the OS was badly mismanaging in the background.

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.

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: 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 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!

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.

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.
