I’m mad. Really mad.

For those of you who are out of the loop, I’ll fill you. Several days ago, an anonymous source sent images to Engadget, featuring what was alleged to be the upcoming fourth generation iPhone.

Monday morning, Gizmodo took the story a lot further. They revealed to the world that they were in possession of the same unit from Engadget’s pictures. They wrote a thousand-plus word article covering every aspect of this alleged iPhone.

I’m still shocked at their gall.

When you take the story at face value, it all seems pretty to explain away. After all, Gizmodo is a news site competing in a market where whoever has the story first makes the most money.

Hey all, I’m back with another (shorter) post, this time a poll. The question: What Twitter client do you use? The conditions are: the client must run reasonably on an iMac G3 running OS X 10.4.11, it must be a native app, (no Adobe Air) and it must not be the web version. This is a poll because I’m lazy and I couldn’t find many anyway crowdsourcing is a great way to discover things you never knew exist, and also to involve readers. I’ll review as many as possible, so you have that to look forward to! Vote for your favorite(s) in the comments!
