Review: New Indy’s Most Deadly Trap Is the Movie Itself

6:30AM Gizmodo US Edition | Yesterday I saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Like a kid, I went to the movie theatre ready for all the popcorn cinema fun I could get—the crazy chases, the fights, bugs, snakes, temples, tombs, skeletons and all the deadly machines and ancient gadgets that they could throw at me. In fact, I’ve been ready for them since the end credits of the Last Crusade.

Reader of the Month: Dr. Francisco Gómez Bravo

Then shalt thou calm the hell down, no more, no less.” And the children calmed down, and he saw it was good. So good, in fact, that he has used it for six months with 450 children, reducing the use of drugs by 85%. But how does it work? More »

Jesus Switch Turns On, Off

10:49PM Jesus Diaz | We like our switches switches switches here in Gizmodo, but this Jesuswitch is just wrong wrong wrong. WRONG. Blame my catholic upbringing, but I would stay in the room in the dark for fear of turning the light on. [Flickr via Digg] More »
