Well, we knew that only real names were allowed on Google+, but played with fire and got burned by the Google gods. While we work with Google on a fancy ‘business profile‘, feel free to follow, heckle and admonish me directly. As editor of Giz Australia, I’ll be handpicking the day’s most interesting tech news to share, and you can ask questions or shoot through weird and wonderful tips. [Danny / Gizmodo on Google+]
Where’s my breakfast wrap–served fresh with sweet Gizmation—you ask? As you may know, Nick has ridden off into the sunset on a space travelling dinosaur, and it’s been a baptism of fire this morning settling into the editor’s chair. But as I focus on the latest Aussie news, I wanted to take a moment to say ‘ello, and ask what you’d like to see more of on Giz.
After five years at Gizmodo, I’m moving on to play around in the ocean a bit more and figure out what my next adventure is. Thanks for reading the site – I’ve had fun creating it. P.S. Joe Brown will be taking over for me. Congratulate him warmly!
After five years and an uncountable number of posts – no really, there’s no system to count how many posts I’ve done – this is probably the most difficult one I’ve had to write. Starting next Monday, I say goodbye to Gizmodo and head on over to Lifehacker.
Gizmodo’s Joe Brown was talking with Contessa Brewer on MSNBC Live today sharing everything we know about the iSpy conspiracy.
Our own Matt Buchanan stopped by CNN to tell American Morning why AT&T buying T-Mobile is going to be bad news for us. Spoiler: less competition, more power for Verizon and AT&T and also, catnip. Watch it!
As you sit back today and gorge yourself on ham, turkey, prawns and pork crackle (at least, that’s what I’ll be doing), remember that Gizmodo loves you. We hope you’ve had a great year, and we want to thank you for your continued support and constructive comments. Once you’ve digested Christmas, get ready for 2011 – it’s going to be our biggest and best year yet!
2010 was a great year for TVs, despite the relentless push towards 3D. But in many cases, 3D capability in a TV actually makes 2D content look better, so the quality of displays from Sony, Panasonic, Samsung and LG have all been great. Coupled with IPTV services being introduced to this year’s tellies, 2010 was a great year for screens. Deciding which one was best is going to be tough, but that’s what we plan to do with the 2010 Australian Gizmodo Awards.

The awesome LA-based band Killabite just recorded an unofficial theme song for Gizmodo. Listen to it now.
The smartphone market has exploded in a fiery ball of awesome this year. There was the iPhone 4 from Apple, The HTC Desire and Desire HD, the Samsung Galaxy S, plus two whole new smartphone operating systems, with Windows Phone 7 and Bada both launching on phones around the country. Or maybe you’re just a fan of the Nokia N8. There were plenty of launches, but which one was the best? The 2010 Australian Gizmodo Awards are your way of deciding.
